CD from Italy

First stereo release of complete Ennio Morricone score for offbeat Roberto Faenza drama with Claudine Auger, Lino Capolicchio, Gabriele Ferzetti. Ennio Morricone melds two diverse musical worlds into one. First is accessible mod-sixties music with a beat. Second is experimental music for various mouth effects, hypnotic sounds of sitar for hippie sequences, psychedelic musical colors, more. Adding further contrast are lines for chorus (I Cantori Moderni of Alessandroni), quotes of famed "Dies Irae" melody, organ passages, other ideas. Score with diversity by any means! Ennio Morricone composes & orchestrates, Bruno Nicolai conducts.
