In 1970 Henry Mancini approached working on the Italian production of "Sunflower", starring Sophia Lorena and Marcello Mastroianni. Under the direction of Vittorio De Sica the movie became a success, surely some credits go to the composers work, who wrote a great theme and a great dramatic score, which was appreciated with an Oscar nomination. Enjoy!
This was (is) a great soundtrack to a very heart-wrenching movie. Earlier (Peter Gunn era) a young John Williams played piano for Mancini's orchestral recordings. Does anyone know if he played the solo for Sunflower?
Soundtrack Fred, I would like to say thank you… I’ve been listening to the music you’ve shared for the last few hours. I can’t imagine how long it took to get this collection uploaded! But I am so glad you did. This music is beautiful and so are you for making sure it is shared with everyone!
Lyrische Leistung dieses romantischen Meisterwerks mit gut harmonisierten Töne aller Instrumente. Das Hauptthema ist evig unvergesslich. Einfach wunderschön!
Sentimental and romantic ..Those lonesome expressions hunger pity that enduces a pleading...A drive to retreive a passion treasured and craved for a loving copy...A letting go of yesterdays horrible and deniable quarter to hop into a carring pan that boils to simmer a life that pour a sweetened blend...The musical quintas perfectly enhance the excellence of the video...It gives a honking kareket that market a memory for fans and all..Come again for a series!!!!
Today it is the 1st time to listen to this music since I watched this film in1970 when I was so young.I do remember and feel the same feeling as it was that time .I never forgot it .Thanks to the media .this movie with those unreputable stars is a permenant print in human soul.
I love this piece of music since I was a teenager. This is one of the first few soundtrack I bought when I can pay for it. I have forgotten this for years and all a sudden remembering. Thanks for posting this.
Hi Fred , I have a problem. Maybe you can help me. I am interested in the soundtrack of ruclips.net/video/HbxcBQG_jtI/видео.html (Hans J.Salter) and ruclips.net/video/qdZpB4lp8kI/видео.html (Maurice Jarre). Is it possible to seperate the music from the movie without the dialogues? Please help me. Is it possible? I have the same problem with the movie "Captain Horatio Hornblower R.N." Unfortunately in all the published tracks of this movie 2 of the main titles are missing. Can you upload a nice Soundtrack Suite of " Sky Bandits (Alfi Kabiljo)"?
Hello Ansata, you asked this question a few days ago, on a different video. If you know when and where you asked, you will find my reply under your comment! And I am sorry to say, I dont have Sky Bandits in my collection currently. All the best! Fred
Why do I weep each time I listen to this music😢?!
I love this movie so much, I visited Russia and Italy only to see the filming locations
Wow!
Uf... qué bueno... sana envidia. Te felicito. Algún día lo haré.
Wow!

Hello James,
I don't know who plays piano in the Sunflower recording, but I know in fact that it's not Williams.
Best to you!
Fred
The Retreat Theme reminds me of Shostakovich’s 7th Symphony...
Soundtrack Fred,

戦争の悲しみに切なく染み入るシンホニーの調べ、心の宇宙に迫る響きに絶賛する神技、悲惨な戦争の流れに魅了する、、感動の音律、bravo …
Csodálatosan szép.... Ezt a filmet az élet is írhatta.... Fiatalságom , nagy filmje volt...
Henry Mancini eternizou muitas cenas com suas canções inesquecíveis.
The most beautiful love story of all times with the most exciting music
Another testament to the Great Italian Maestro: Bravo!
beatiful and inmortal music
So very beautiful and wonderful thanks Soundtrack Fred
One of Henry Mancini finest compositions.
Lyrische Leistung dieses romantischen Meisterwerks mit gut harmonisierten Töne aller Instrumente. Das Hauptthema ist evig unvergesslich. Einfach wunderschön!
Great classic with the most famous couples movies Marcello And Sophia.
De Sicca directed the movie and music by Mancini.
One of most wonderful movies.
Was a really great film and, of course, with its unforgettable soundtrack. Thanks great Maestro Mancini. (R.I.P.)
very good ~~~~!!!

Mr Mancini was a pure musical genius, I wish I could have gone to his school, rip always with us

Thanks to lockdown, I saw the charade movie yesterday and liked the music and then found this machini named treasure. Wow! Flowing music.......
Linda música, lindo filme!
Chorei muito ao assistir esse lindo filme, com essa maravilhosa música.
La unica melodia que me puede llegar a producir lágrimas......
The main title is a classic!!!
Simplesmente maravilhosa
Не в ,,Подсолнухи,, счастье, а как талантливо сыграли они!!!
Qué decir de Mancini! un compositor que marcó una época y creó un estílo imitado por muchos.
Ok: Addio 👋👋👋👋🦅🦅🦅🦅
And devol memories.
There was a popular 1975 Hong Kong TV Drama Theme Song adopted 80% from the theme of Sunflower.
Linda música de Henri Mancini para o filme inesquecível "Os Girassóis Da Russia" de Vitorio De Sica com Sophia Loren e Marcelo Mastrooani.
Lolita 😊
Double like
I love Sunflower and Gladiator more than Titanic.
ひとには譲れないことがあります。わたしの国。国を譲ることない。
ウクライナの戦争を早く終わらせよう〜🥺💦
