Re: Notes on I BASILISCHI [1963]

Hi Bob, It is not impossible that Daisy Lumini actually doesn't sing on Ora incantata, but whistles instead. Read this: "un fischietto rusticano suonato da Daisy Lumini" (a rustic whistle played by Daisy Lumini). This would mean that there is actually only one version of Ora incantata: the one we know. Didier

Re: Re: Notes on I BASILISCHI [1963]

Nice find, Didier. So, the whistled version is by Daisy Lumini. She was considered as one of the best whistlers back then. http://bit.ly/USuhfr I'm not sure, but I believe "Ora incantata" was also SUNG by her. www.youtube.com/watch?v=klsHRDl_aRA – Opening Credits – 1:07 Barely readable, but doesn't it say "canta Daisy Lumini"? "Cantata basilisca – canta Fausto Cigliano" "Ora incantata – canta Daisy Lumini" Gastone Parigi, who doesn't sing, is defined differently. Bob

Almost impossible to say indeed, from the film credits, but to me the word used for Daisy Lumini seems different from the one used for Fausto Cigliano... Didier

We'll just have to wait and see till a better screenshot turns up. Or an image of the back sleeve of the 45, or the disc label... The back sleeve is available now, but again impossible to read. http://bit.ly/13L3De2 Bob
