Bluebeard
With Bluebeard (1972), Ennio Morricone explores the gothic absurdity of Edward Dmytryk’s erotic thriller through a score oscillating between melancholy, parody, and psychological unease. By blending chamber restraint and baroque flamboyance, Morricone transforms the infamous tale into a study of decadence, control, and the seductions of death.
Le Trio Infernal
Composed by Ennio Morricone for Francis Girod’s 1974 film Le Trio Infernal, this score fuses elegance and moral decay in dazzling contrast. Through waltzes, grotesque marches, and ironic chanson motifs, Morricone mirrors the film’s mordant humor and gothic perversity, crafting one of his most caustically inventive European soundtracks.
Per le Antiche Scale
In Per le Antiche Scale, Ennio Morricone sculpts a haunting and cerebral score for Mauro Bolognini’s 1975 psychological drama. Through mournful strings, dissonant gestures, and lyrical fragments, Morricone captures the fragile border between reason and madness, crafting one of his most introspective and emotionally complex film soundtracks.
La Disubbidienza
With La Disubbidienza, Ennio Morricone crafts an austere and sensual soundscape for Aldo Lado’s 1981 film. The score balances chamber intimacy and languid melodies, exploring moral tension through sparse orchestration and unexpected harmonic turns. It’s a work where desire and restraint coexist in fragile, hypnotic equilibrium.
Fatti di Gente Perbene
Originally composed in 1974 for Mauro Bolognini’s film Fatti di Gente Perbene (The Murri Affair), Ennio Morricone’s score returns in 2025 with a newly remastered limited pink-vinyl edition from Cinevox. Long considered one of his most lyrical and overlooked works, it merges romantic melancholy and psychological suspense through exquisite writing for strings, piano, and subtle chamber textures.

Double transparent blue vinyl edition of 500.

Questa Specie D'Amore (Original Soundtrack)
Ennio Morricone's subversive 1970 masterpiece finally emerges in full stereo after 55 years.

Essential archival triumph.
