Significativa la presenza del cinema europeo alla 44ma edizione del Cairo International Film Festival<\/strong><\/p>\n

Il giorno 17 novembre, saranno tra gli ospiti della kermesse anche il produttore Kevin Ferri<\/strong> e il compositore Marco Werba<\/strong>, autore della colonna sonora del film in concorso “L’Ile du Pardon<\/strong>“<\/p>\n

Significativa la presenza del cinema europeo alla 44ma edizione del Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF), che prender\u00e0 il via dal 13 novembre fino al 22 novembre 2022. Lanciato nel 1976, il prestigioso raduno egiziano si svolge ogni anno al Cairo nel mese di novembre, ed \u00e8 il primo festival di cinema internazionale organizzato in un paese arabo. Il giorno 17 novembre sar\u00e0 tra gli ospiti della kermesse anche il compositore Marco Werba<\/strong>, poich\u00e9 autore della colonna sonora del film in concorso “L’Ile du Pardon” (titolo italiano “L’Isola del Perdono”), diretto dal regista Ridha Behi<\/strong>, che vede tra gli interpreti Claudia Cardinale<\/strong>, Paola Lavini<\/strong> e Katia Greco<\/strong>. La parte musicale firmata dal M\u00b0 Werba<\/strong> e prodotta da Kevin Ferri<\/strong> per Soul Trade Music Publishing Group<\/strong>, \u00e8 stata registrata a Londra, con le recording sessions che si sono svolte presso i prestigiosi Angel Studios<\/strong> situati in Upper Street, coordinati da Jojo Arvanitis<\/strong> (Orchestra contractor) e da Dom Domalos Kelly<\/strong> (Score coordinator). Il Cairo International Film Festival (CIFF) \u00e8 uno dei 15 festival riconosciuti come di categoria “A”, accreditato dalla federazione internazionale delle associazioni di produttori cinematografici. Come scopo istituzionale mira a contribuire allo sviluppo dell’arte e della tecnica del cinema, e ad incoraggiare il dialogo interculturale. Nella competizione internazionale di quest’anno, ancora una volta, la presenza europea nella categoria principale sar\u00e0 fortissima: ben 9 films in concorso sono produzioni o coproduzioni europee, tra cui alcune world premi\u00e8res. Tra le novit\u00e0 in anteprima, figura proprio anche “L’Ile du Pardon<\/strong>” di Ridha Behi<\/strong> (Tunisia\/Libano\/USA). Marco Werba<\/strong> finora ha gi\u00e0 vinto, per le musiche di questo film, il premio Colosseo d’Oro<\/strong>. Altissima, infatti, la qualit\u00e0 di questa colonna sonora, con l’eccellente performance della “English Session Orchestra”<\/strong>. La canzone del film, infine, \u00e8 stata eseguita da Ellen Williams<\/strong>, che ha anche scritto il testo in inglese. Il leitmotiv del film conferma la grande vena melodica di Marco Werba<\/strong>, al secolo Marc Adam Werblowsky<\/strong>, che ricordiamo essere nato a Madrid, con alle spalle studi classici in Francia, in America e in Italia, esattamente a Roma, dove attualmente vive. Trattasi di un musicista e direttore d’orchestra noto ed apprezzato nell’ambiente cinematografico, dal background completo e dalla raffinata e colta sensibilit\u00e0 artistica. Al suo attivo, titoli cinematografici di spessore quali Zoo<\/strong>, Anita<\/strong>, Giallo<\/strong>, Amore e libert\u00e0<\/strong> – Masaniello<\/strong>, Il delitto Mattarella<\/strong>, Seguimi<\/strong> e Pop Black<\/strong> Posta<\/strong> e La Grande Guerra del Salento<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

MARCO WERBA AND THE ISLAND OF FORGIVENESS<\/strong><\/p>\n

Back in June of this year I was privileged to attend the recording session for the Ridha Behi movie Island of Forgiveness<\/em><\/strong>, which is produced by Ziad Hamzeh and has an incredible score composed by Maestro Marco Werba. The music was recorded at The Angel Studios in London, which are now part of the famous Abbey Road studios. It was one of the most enlightening and enjoyable days I have ever spent in a recording studio. The film is a Watching the composer work and listening to members of the English session Orchestra perform the composers haunting and absorbing music is something I will never forget. It was also a special day as the atmosphere was in a word joyous, with the composer’s team being warm, friendly, and accommodating, at times sharing jokes and stories as the recording session progressed. The recording engineer was\u00a0Marco Streccioni<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0who has worked on so many famous soundtracks in his career assisted by\u00a0Gabriele Conti<\/em><\/strong>. I thought I would post this to remind collectors of this soundtrack and its up-and-coming release.<\/p>\n

The score is in my opinion one of the most beautiful that I have heard in a long while, the composer writing lyrical and sensitive tone poems that not only support and enhance the films mesmerizing storyline but add depth and poignancy to the powerful storyline whilst elevating and supporting the many emotions and scenarios that were being played out on screen. The film stars Claudia Cardinale, Paola Lavini, and Katia Greco, and tells the story of Andrea Licari, a Tunisian of Italian descent who has now reached his 60th year, and has become an accomplished author, college professor and a leading thinker in Rome. It focuses upon internal and external pressures that he is experiencing, including his failing health and takes him back to Djerba, T\u00fanis his place of birth. The task of fulfilling his mother’s wish to bring her ashes back to her estranged birthplace is filled with numerous tough memories that he has to overcome whilst there. Andrea must face his demons in order to find inner solace which will also allow him to forgive those who haunted his entire existence and eventually himself.<\/p>\n

The soundtrack has not yet been released but the composer sent me the music to review for Movie Music International. It is a soundtrack of ample qualities; I think it can be described as a score that is written in a more classical and traditional style using real players and having gracious and affecting thematic properties. It is romantic, tragic, dramatic and above all entertaining and effective both within the movie and away from it. The seven-note motif that introduces\u00a0Rosa’s Song<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0immediately alerts the listener to something that is special and rewarding. This is a theme that can be heard throughout the score with the composer introducing it in various arrangements and guises. The vocal version of the theme is performed by Welsh singer Ellen Williams, who also wrote the beguiling lyrics.<\/p>\n

Gaetano’s Death<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

Miss Williams performs two versions of the song on the recording adding her soaring and mesmeric voice to the cue entitled\u00a0Gaetano’s Death<\/em><\/strong>, which evoked memories of the performances of the great Edda Dell Orso, Miss Williams voice adding power to the composition. The core theme is given a sorrowful and highly emotive rendition in track number three\u00a0The Sea\/Attempted Rape,<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0the composer employing cello to great effect giving the already impressive theme even more depth and power. The score also contains\u00a0Waltz in E Minor<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0which is a variation of\u00a0Rosa’s Song<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0the composer very cleverly introducing this as a kind of secondary theme for the score.<\/p>\n

The Bird and the Train<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

is also an impressive cue, it begins in a triumphant style with strings that are evocative of the style of composer Georges Delerue, but this mood alters, and we are taken once again to\u00a0Rosa’s Song\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>performed by cello which again is short lived by affecting.<\/p>\nThe following track\u00a0Zigo Meets Rosa\/ Gaetano asks for forgiveness<\/em><\/strong>, contains a version of the central theme performed beautifully by guitarist Riccardo Rocchi who recorded his contributions to the score in Rome. Rocchi also performs on other cues within the score adding a calming and romantic feel to the work.
\nThe soundtrack also contains contributions from composer Bruno di Stefano, who wrote the additional music for the movie, which total five tracks on the recording. But it is Marco Werba who is the main composer and provides the movie with a score that is filled with so many emotions, the music sensitively ingratiates the images and underlines the unfolding storyline. The composer adds colour, texture and drama to an already highly charged piece of cinema. There is a\u00a0Military Theme\u00a0<\/em><\/strong>within the score which is so effective, as it gradually builds from martial sounding drums underlined by strings and incorporating elements of\u00a0La Marseillaise<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0(French National Anthem), it never overpowers but makes its mark and establishes itself swiftly.\u00a0Rosa’s Song<\/em><\/strong>\u00a0is the foundation of the score and there is a particularly striking rendition of it in track number fourteen purveyed by guitar and strings. I cannot recommend this score enough, it has grace, melody, charm, romance, and a rich and vibrant thematic content, it oozes a luxurious persona, that will invade your mind and capture your heart.
\nAs I have said it is not yet released but will be available later from the Soul Trade music publishing group label. .The score was conducted by both Marco Werba and the composer’s assistant Michele Catania. With orchestration by Marco Werba and , Michele who also played mandolin on the soundtrack. this is a stunning and heartrending soundtrack.
