Cinevox Record is pleased to release Riz Ortolani's beautiful music for the action film 'SAHARA CROSS' on CD. In 1977, Cinevox Record released a 45 rpm single (MDF 113) with the tracks 'Sahara Cross' and 'Safari session' chosen by the composer. It was not until 2003 that the soundtrack was released on CD in Japan (Volcano CPC8-1216). Now, Riz Ortolani's soundtrack appears for the first time on Italian CD. Maestro Ortolani composed an orchestral OST dominated by wild funky passages (Tr.1, 3, 10, 22) alternating with lounge-style pieces (Tr.2, 5, 8) and suspenseful and mysterious orchestral passages that create the perfect atmosphere to describe the boundless silence of the desert (Tr.7, 11, 12, 14, 16), but there is also a romantic moment with a delicate love theme (Tr. 18). The stereo masters from the original session were used for this 45:22 CD. A fitting tribute to the musical artistry of the great Riz Ortolani.
