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!
Enrico Nicola "Henry" Mancini was born on April 16, 1924, in the Little Italy neighborhood of Cleveland, Ohio. Both of his parents immigrated to the United States from the Abruzzo region of Italy. Henry's love of music came from his father who loved playing the flute and encouraged his son to start playing the instrument when he was eight years old. Four years later, Henry also began playing the piano. He enrolled at the Juilliard School of Music in 1942. He would become one of the great musicians of the Italian tradition like other greats.. Morricone, Nino Rota..
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.
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!!!!
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 ua-cam.com/video/HbxcBQG_jtI/v-deo.html (Hans J.Salter) and ua-cam.com/video/qdZpB4lp8kI/v-deo.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
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 …

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,
I would like to say thank you…

Henry Mancini eternizou muitas cenas com suas canções inesquecíveis.
Csodálatosan szép.... Ezt a filmet az élet is írhatta.... Fiatalságom , nagy filmje volt...
Another testament to the Great Italian Maestro: Bravo!

Uf... qué bueno... sana envidia. Te felicito. Algún día lo haré.
Wow!

One of the best!
Was a really great film and, of course, with its unforgettable soundtrack. Thanks great Maestro Mancini. (R.I.P.)
The most beautiful love story of all times with the most exciting music
Such a beautiful music ! How sad there are no more such music makers. God bless his soul.
One of Henry Mancini finest compositions.

La unica melodia que me puede llegar a producir lágrimas......

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.
Simplesmente maravilhosa
The main title is a classic!!!
Qué decir de Mancini! un compositor que marcó una época y creó un estílo imitado por muchos.
Не в ,,Подсолнухи,, счастье, а как талантливо сыграли они!!!
My fave movie theme
Linda música de Henri Mancini para o filme inesquecível "Os Girassóis Da Russia" de Vitorio De Sica com Sophia Loren e Marcelo Mastrooani.
And devol memories.
There was a popular 1975 Hong Kong TV Drama Theme Song adopted 80% from the theme of Sunflower.
Ok: Addio 👋👋👋👋🦅🦅🦅🦅
