The Great Alligator - Stelvio Cipriani at the Peak of His Creation

In 1979, Stelvio Cipriani composed one of the most atmospheric adventure and horror soundtracks of Italian genre cinema with THE GREAT ALLIGATOR (IL FIUME DEL GRANDE CAIMANO). The film by cult director Sergio Martino was created in the wake of the worldwide success of JAWS, but musically takes a completely unique path.

Exotic Sounds Between Adventure and Horror

Cipriani's music combines catchy melodies with exotic percussion elements, electronic textures, and suspenseful arrangements. Sensual variations of the main theme stand alongside rhythmic passages that musically bring the tropical setting and mysterious tribal cultures to life. The result is a soundtrack as colorful as it is captivating, which has enjoyed cult status among film music fans for decades.

Remastered Collector's Edition

This release from Chris' Soundtrack Corner presents the complete score in elaborately restored and digitally remastered sound quality. The edition is supplemented by extensive liner notes from film music expert John Bender and high-quality design, making it a special collector's item for fans of Italian film music. An indispensable album for lovers of Stelvio Cipriani, Euro-Cult soundtracks, and the great adventure and horror films of the 1970s.
