Originally published on Colonne Sonore - Immagini tra le Note N.10 - January/February 2005
Twenty years after Ladyhawke’s release, British composer Andrew Powell remembers his scoring experience on Richard Donner’s medieval-fantasy starring Rutger Hauer and Michelle Pfeiffer. Professional satisfactions and critics’ misunderstanding generated by a still discussed score.

Mi trovo a Roma, nell’appartamento di un mito vivente della musica da film, la vocalist della Golden Age italiana, la voce che tante emozioni ha donato al Cinema e a capolavori quali C’era una volta il West & C’era una volta in America, colei che ha prestato le sue doti canore a molti dei compositori più importanti del nostro paese, la dolce e gentile Edda Dell’Orso. Non dimenticando la presenza di suo marito Giacomo Dell’Orso, valente arrangiatore, pianista, direttore d’orchestra e compositore di musica applicata per il nostro Cinema, degno compagno di una tale artista. Iniziamo chiacchierando con Edda sulla sua carriera.

Taking a break from the scoring of Disney’s The Wild, film composer Alan Silvestri offered Colonne Sonore an in-depth, exclusive interview about his career and his artistry: from the jazzy early days - on the way to be-bop touring with Wayne Cochran & the C.C. Ryders - to his personal beliefs about composing, orchestrating and conducting as one of the most influential film composer in today’s Hollywood. With his next Zemeckis project, Beowulf, still far to come, the Back To The Future composer - now owner of a quality wine label - explains his approach to the medium, his profound respect for the inside communication central to the director/composer partnership, and his dialogue with images. The audio-visual dialectics of “a filmmaker who writes music”.
