Caravelli - Love Theme From Romeo And Juliet
From Album: Caravelli ~ The Best Of Screen & Musical Theme (1996), Caravelli, real name Claude Vasori (12 September 1930) is French orchestra leader, composer and arranger.
This easy listening conductor and arranger was born September 12 of 1930 in Paris, France, from Italian father and French mother.
He was initially instructed in music by his mother in piano and voicing/harmony at seven years old, and later, when he was thirteen he started to attend the Paris Conservatoire. At twenty he was professionally touring, accompanying singers on piano, and his first son, Patrick was born (his daughter two years later). When he was 26 years old he started as orchestra conductor. In 1959 with the help of famous French jazz bandleader Ray Ventura, he obtained a contract to form his own orchestra oriented to popular music. In 1956 Caravelle Aerospatiale introduced the twin jet Caravelle. This plane was the first jet created for the short-haul market. The first Caravelle entered service for Air France on May 9, 1959. France was proud of it. So Claude took this name which he turned more Italian in honor to his father origins, changing the last letter: “CARAVELLI et son Violons Magiques/& his Magnificent Strings” was born.
He signed a contract with the French record label Versailles. His first album “Dance Party” is recorded (issued also in STEREO). So under Versailles licenses his early recordings are edited in other countries (20th Century Records in USA, Ariel in Argentina and Discophon in Spain, etc.) In 1962 he composed Et Satan conduit le bal original soundtrack under his real name, French film starred by young Catherine Deneuve. An EP record was issued in France. In 1963 he composed Accroche-toi Caroline! which was used by the British Broadcasting Corporation as the theme to Vision On.
Later Versailles is acquired by Columbia records (1964). Thanks to CBS worldwide distribution facilities soon he started a real international career, obtaining gold records in France, Japan, Israel and South America.
