Franz Koglmann: Let's Make Love. An Imaginary Play in 12 Scenes
A quel film frizzante si è ispirato Franz Koglmann per una serie di quadretti orchestrali in cinque parti e dodici scene, con arrangiamenti di gran pregio che fan svettare strumenti come oboe, corni, tuba, glockenspiel.
E’ una operazione a metà tra il carattere della “third stream” anni ’60 e la morbidezza di uno swing saggio, privo di percussioni.
Il tema che ogni tanto ritorna è quello di “My Heart Belongs to Daddy” (Cole Porter), dapprima soltanto evocato, infine scandito con chiarezza (“A Hero”).
L’organico piuttosto serioso, comprendente anche violino, trombone, tromba, flicorno, piano e contrabbasso, diretto con fermezza da Gustav Bauer, non impedisce ai solisti di graffiare spesso con arguzia. Notevoli, nell’insieme, Mario Arcari, Tony Coe, Rudolf Ruschel.
