| Description: | Alhambra Records proudly presents on this CD the world premiere release of Angelo Francesco Lavagninoâ??s complete original score in stereo for the 1963 Italian peplum movie ERCOLE SFIDA SANSONE (US title: HERCULES, SAMSON AND ULYSSES) which was directed by Pietro Francisci who had initiated the popular genre with the smash hit HERCULES in 1958. As Steve Reeves was not available at the time of production, the Italian bodybuilder Kirk Morris who had already starred as Maciste in a handful of peplums during the early 1960s was dyed blonde and cast in the role of the Greek strongman. His antagonist is the Iranian-born Iloosh Khoshabe who took on the English pseudonym Richard Lloyd and portrays the biblical character Samson. Ulysses (played by Enzo Corusico), the third of the ancient world heroes in this adventure yarn, is merely a boyish sidekick to the hero who sometimes gives some good advices, but not much more. - Premiere release of composer Angelo Francesco Lavagnino's music score for the 1963 Italian peplum film "Ercole Sfida Sansone" (aka "Hercules, Samson And Ulysses") directed by Pietro Francisci.
For this release original stereo master tapes were used made possible by the Lavagnino estate.
Limited Edition of 400 copies."Ercole Sfida Sansone (Hercules, Samson & Ulysses)" is a captivating soundtrack CD composed by the renowned Angelo Francesco Lavagnino and released by ALHAMBRA. This album features the original score for the 1963 Italian adventure film directed by Pietro Francisci, which brings together legendary heroes Hercules, Samson, and Ulysses in an epic tale of strength and courage.

The lush arrangements highlight his unique ability to evoke emotion through melody and rhythm.
