Suggestions

Records suggested from your collection and wantlist, each checked against Discogs before it earns a place here.

Bruno Nicolai - Bruno Nicolai - Tutti I Colori Del Buio (Colonna Sonora Originale Del Film)

2014 A reach

This stretches from your Morricone concert album into the shadowier Italian film-score world that surrounded the same orchestral cinema tradition.

Stelvio Cipriani - Stelvio Cipriani - Femina Ridens (Colonna Sonora Originale)

1969 A reach

Its cinematic orchestration follows Ennio Morricone's Cinema Concerto A Santa Cecilia but trades the famous composer for a lesser-known CAM soundtrack voice.

Gino Marinuzzi Jr. - Gino Marinuzzi Jr. - Hong Kong Un Addio (Colonna Sonora Originale)

1963 A reach

This is a deliberate reach from Stanley Myers — Images into an obscure CAM film score, retaining the collector's interest in orchestral cinema while moving toward Italian modernism.

Franck Pourcel - Franck Pourcel - The Franck Pourcel Sound

1973

Pourcel's expansive string arrangements sit between Mantovani's easy-listening sweep and The Yves Munday Orchestra's songbook format.

Caravelli - Caravelli - Caravelli In Moscow

1982

Caravelli's grand, highly arranged instrumentals follow your Mantovani records while adding a more sharply orchestrated continental colour.

Paul Mauriat And His Orchestra - Paul Mauriat And His Orchestra - The Soul Of Paul Mauriat

1969

Mauriat's lush instrumental arrangements are a natural but under-suggested neighbour to The World Of Mantovani Vol. 2 and The Magic Of Mantovani.

Various - Various - Orchestral Colours Volume 1

1983

The title's arranged orchestral palette follows both Mantovani's large-scale light music and the library-orchestra focus of your Reg Tilsley wants.

Jerzy Matukis - Jerzy Matukis - Dramatic Sounds And Movements Vol. 3 - Orchestral Romance & Drama

1985

Its formal orchestral drama extends the cinematic scoring you favour in Stanley Myers — Images into Sonoton's darker, more modern studio language.

The John Fox Philharmonic Orchestra - The John Fox Philharmonic Orchestra - Love Affairs - Dramatic Orchestral Moods Vol. 2

1986

This follows the romantic orchestral presentation of The World Of Mantovani Vol. 2 but through the much less familiar Sonoton library.

Various - Various - Music For Drama Vol. 1 (Orchestral)

1967

The dramatic orchestral brief connects directly with Stanley Myers — Images and takes you from De Wolfe to the earlier Chappell library tradition.

John Cacavas And His Orchestra - John Cacavas And His Orchestra - Orchestral Sounds

1974

Its polished instrumental scoring follows the orchestral library side of Stanley Myers — Images while opening up the Chappell catalogue.

John Cacavas And His Orchestra - John Cacavas And His Orchestra - Music For Drama (Orchestral)

1974

This is a direct catalogue-family move from Stanley Myers — Images, replacing De Wolfe's cinematic orchestration with Chappell Recorded Music Library drama cues.
