Franco Micalizzi - Laure (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) (1979)

"Laure" (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack) is one of the most iconic, refined, and highly regarded soundtracks by the distinguished Italian composer and conductor Franco Micalizzi. The music was written for the 1976 erotic drama of the same name (also known as "Laura" or "Forever Emmanuelle"), directed by Louis Lopez (although the renowned Emmanuelle Arsan also contributed).

While the film itself remains in cinema history as a throwback to the genre, Micalizzi's soundtrack has transcended the film, becoming an absolute classic of Italian film music of the 1970s, a benchmark for easy listening, lounge, and smooth jazz.

Franco Micalizzi, best known for his aggressive, funky, and brassy scores for gritty Italian detective films (poliziotteschi), reveals a completely different side in "Laure"—sensual, poetic, and exotic.

The soundtrack to "Laure" is more than just musical accompaniment; it's a work of art in its own right. Micalizzi has managed to avoid vulgarity, creating an incredibly elegant, graceful, and cinematic album.
