It is a substantial suite of music from the 1917 film containing much gorgeous music. It is very well played here and reasonably well recorded. The Rota is a much more meager selection from the 1963 film Il Gattopardo. It has been recorded before by the likes of Riccardo Muti to better effect, due largely to SONY's more opulent sound. Here, it sounds less inspired than the Mascagni and feels like an afterthought just to fill up the disc. One wonders if a more suitable (and even more generous) coupling could have been chosen.The recording is clear and full, if not terribly flattering to the orchestra. As often with Capriccio, the acoustic is a bit stark and the soundstage could benefit from a bit more sonic luster and allure. However, don't let this minor quibble deter its purchase. This disc is certainly worth it for the generous Mascagni offering - over 40 minutes of fairly rare music, even if the Rota leaves one feeling a bit short-changed. Frank Strobel is an effective advocate. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great movie soundtrack classical music like *by I***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 21, 2019* Both movie soundtracks are top quality music by famous composers. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ "We Were The Leopards" *by A***N on Reviewed in the United States on November 20, 2015* Il Gattopardo (The Leopard) remains controversial some 50 years after its initial release. To some it is a towering masterpiece, a visually stunning, meticulously constructed evocation of the changing social and political order in 19th century Italy, primarily Sicily. To others, it is an interminable ordeal predicated on the slenderest of narrative threads. There is consensus on one element: the excellence of Rota’s score which showcases the composer’s melodic gift and uncanny ability to clarify and enhance the images on the screen. Maestro Strobel utilizes a suite assembled by Ricardo Muti which is roughly 15 minutes in duration. Italian opera composer, Pietro Mascagni composed the score for Rapsodia Satanica, a 1917 film dealing with a 20th century twist on the ancient Faust myth. Like several of his contemporaries, e.g. Saint-Saens and Hindemith, Mascagni was intrigued by the rapidly evolving film medium and the opportunities it afforded composers both artistically and financially. The music Mascagni provided is highly sophisticated. It’s intricately worked out to precisely mirror the shifting arc and tone of the narrative, a skill Mascagni had clearly developed in the realm of opera. The suite played here is nearly 47 minutes and worthwhile from an aesthetic perspective as well as a purely historical one. The 88 members of the Deutsche Staatsphilharmonie Rheinland-Pfalz do a fine job in bringing to life these 2 scores which are separated by nearly 50 years. Plaudits to Maestro Strobel for his efforts in guiding this project to fruition. The sound pickup is resonant and detailed. The liner notes are informative although slightly compromised by a less than ideal translation. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/59476385-rapsodia-satanica-il-gattopardo-score-original-soundtrack](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/59476385-rapsodia-satanica-il-gattopardo-score-original-soundtrack) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-06-23*
