On the occasion of Maestro Pino Donaggio’s 80th birthday, Cinevox Record releases a double cd dedicated to him. The compilation is a sincere hommage to one of the greatest artists in film music. During his career the great composer from Venice collaborated with several famous Italian and international directors (Dario Argento, Lucio Fulci, Pupi Avati, Brian De Palma and many more), dealing with the most different genres and moving from horror to western, from erotic movies to dramas, from comedies to Italian tv series.

Pino Donaggio often collaborated with the label Cinevox Record, which released some of his most appreciated soundtracks. The double cd includes tracks from these productions and permits to enter the composer’s musical universe and to know the Maestro’s talent and versatility. Some tracks are on Cd for the first time.
