Fire Stars Dances

ファシスト政権の時代を経て映画音楽の作曲でキャリアを確立したピアニスト/オルガニストのPiero Piccioniの1979年リリース作品。A面は贅沢にオーケストラが奏でるディスコ組曲。元ネタはアレクサンドロ　ボロディン曲を１８分の出し惜しみ無し！　300本以上のサントラを手掛けた名人のファンクは細かな所まで楽しめるアレンジでグルーブも太い！(Yamada)

Piero Piccioni established himself as a film composer after the fall of fascist rule in Roma. He had written sound tracks for over 300 films since 50’s. He flexes his writing muscle on the truely epic orchestral funk workout of a suite on the side A. It’s a 18 minutes ride of total delight, based on “Prince Igor” by Alexander Borodin. Masterful work by an often under appreciated artist.(Yamada)
