Neil Richardson And His Orchestra ‎- Music From The Godfather (1972) - Lp

Neil Grant Richardson (5 February 1930 – 8 October 2010) was an English composer and conductor. As a composer, he is perhaps best known for "Approaching Menace" (the Mastermind theme tune) and "The Riviera Affair".
During the 1960s–1990s, he was an arranger and conductor of various BBC Radio Orchestras, working on programmes such as String Sound and The Radio Orchestra Show.
He was a prolific composer of library music for companies such as KPM, and his music has been used in numerous TV, film and radio productions.
The music for The Godfather was written by Nino Rota, whose score has captured the ultimate paradox of the life of the mafiosi, in which an exaggerated love for the family, and especially its children, exists alongside a sadistic affection for violence and brutality. Rota has represented this with two musical themes: The stark opening to the Main Title played first on a solo trumpet, and reappearing in "The Halls of Fear" and The "Godfather Waltz"; and the "Love Theme", which is introduced in the "Sicillian Pastorale" and again in "Apollonia". The musical plot is ultimately resolved when the two themes interchange in the "Godfather Finale".

The Godfather is a 1972 American crime film directed by Francis Ford Coppola and produced by Albert S. Ruddy, based on Mario Puzo's best-selling novel of the same name.
It stars Marlon Brando and Al Pacino as the leaders of a fictional New York crime family. The story, spanning 1945 to 1955, chronicles the family under the patriarch Vito Corleone, focusing on the transformation of Michael Corleone (Pacino) from reluctant family outsider to ruthless mafia boss.
