2015 release. Digitmovies release for the first time on CD two extremely rare original soundtracks by Romolo Grano from the film Arcana and the TV show L'uomo Del Tesoro Di Priamo. For Arcana, Romolo Grano composed an OST where the main score emerges as a sort of concerto in three movements performed by an orchestra (with an emphasis on winds), the voice of Edda Dell'Orso, and pieces played by a Hammond organ. The score develops into an impending classic theme with the modern sound of drums. Psychedelic and macabre atmospheres alternate with a colorful Taranta (folk music) to accompany the most memorable scenes in the film. This OST was arranged and conducted by Berto Pisano.Arcana was directed in 1972 by Giulio Questi. L'uomo Del Tesoro Di Priamo transports the listener into the world of the archeologist Schliemann. The main score begins with a modern, danceable Greek flavor and is alternated with a charming archaic and Middle Eastern atmosphere with cord instruments, flutes, and percussion, as well as sirtaki and bouzouki songs, a nineteenth century waltz and symphonic music. This OST was arranged and conducted by Gianni Oddi. L'uomo Del Tesoro Di Priamo was directed in 1977 by Paolo Gazzara and written by Garza and Mino Damato. For Digitmovies' CD the label was able to use the master tapes in full stereo which had been previously recorded for the promotional albums released under the label Pegaso.

Digitmovies present a reissue of Romolo Grano's original soundtrack for Ho Incontrato Un'ombra, originally released in 1974. A rare LP from the world of 1970s Italian cult TV. Ho Incontrato Un'ombra ("I Have Met a Shadow) was broadcast by RAI Television in Italy in 1974. The success of this screenplay was also due to the soundtrack written by Romolo Grano. The main theme "A Blue Shadow" became a record and radio hit thanks to composer Berto Pisano's evocative orchestral arrangement which was released on the EP single (along with "Tema di Silvia") (1974). The leitmotif was also included on an LP under the same label (also containing other songs not related to the background music of this TV series). The true original soundtrack of Ho Incontrato Un'ombra only came out on a promotional album under RCA's label Pegaso, with Grano's music beautifully arranged and conducted by Berto Pisano. Fortunately, Digitmovies managed to recover the stereo master in excellent condition which had been assembled in the '70s for the limited-edition audio vinyl. It's one of the rarest recordings on the collector's market. The master tape includes virtually everything that had been recorded for the TV series and which was re-edited in different scenes. The sad and romantic main theme with a hint of mystery is introduced and is reprised in a nostalgic guitar piece and again with electronic harpsichord. This beautiful main theme is alternated with danceable lounge music and suspense, as well as with the sad and sensual "Tema Di Silvia" for sax and orchestra. The recording session featured two extraordinarily gifted soloists: Oscar Valdambrini on trumpet and Edda Dell'Orso with her incredibly beautiful voice, an orchestral instrument in all respects. 180 gram vinyl; Edition of 250.
