AND 'ONLY GOD FORGIVES' SCORE RECALLS DONAGGIO'S WORK FOR DE PALMA, SAYS CRITIC
Quartet Records is releasing Pino Donaggio's soundtrack to Dario Argento's TV movie Do You Like Hitchcock?, in an edition limited to 500 copies. The CD is available for pre-order, although the release date has not yet been confirmed. The site description mentions that the disc will include "the entire score, including Donaggio's unused tribute to Vertigo called 'Homage to Hitchcock' [a clip of which can be listened to on the web page]. Carefully mastered by Claudio Fuiano, the package includes liner notes by Gergely Hubai, who offers an introduction to the film and the score with comments from the composer - and including a track-by-track narrative discussion that will lead you to the end of the mysterious case!"Meanwhile, Nicolas Winding Refn's Only God Forgives is now in theaters, and also available on VOD. In a review from last May's Cannes Film Festival, The Hollywood Reporter's David Rooney wrote that "composer Cliff Martinez again makes an indispensable contribution to Winding Refn’s defining aesthetic with a richly textured score that combines pounding martial arts drumbeats, bursts of ecclesiastical organ music, lushly romantic orchestral riffs that recall Pino Donaggio’s work for Brian De Palma, and obsessive techno beats that at times evoke the vintage electropop of Giorgio Moroder."
