Rapha Sounds: The Giro
The race for the Maglia Rosa begins this Saturday 8th May. To celebrate, Rapha present the first in a series of soundtracks inspired by the world's greatest road races. The Giro: Music Inspired by the Giro d'Italia is an eclectic mix of opera, jazz, folk, italo-disco and more with accompanying sounds from the Giro caravan and commentary from the voice behind the 1974 film The Greatest Show on Earth. Available on CD 13.05.10 and MP3 download later this month.
Don't forget, every stage of the Giro d'Italia will be shown at Rapha Cycle Club.

This collection of music is fantastic! I've been listening to it constantly, and with no distractions around you truly feel like you are there.
Really looking forward to more volumes being released.

Robert,
Really appreciate your feedback and greatly agree about the soundtrack. I was watching highlights of the Giro a week or so ago with the album playing and it really does evoke/work with the 'feel' of the race.
The Tour collection is impending.
Cheers

Matt,
downloads are only available in the UK I'm afraid due to licensing issues. But the CD edition is worth having as it features some sublime photography and design.
Mike,
Tom Southam was certainly involved as a music guru for this album and is being consulted on the next instalment. Looking forward to hearing the Tour album!
