Queimada
Quartet Records, in collaboration with EMI Music Publishing, proudly presents a meticulously remastered reissue of Ennio Morricone's impressive, epic score for Gillo Pontecorvo's ambitious, slavery-condemning 1969 production Queimada (aka Burn!), starring Marlon Brando.

The film tells the sto…

Musica su Schemi
A testament to one of Italy's most radical musical experiments, now available in this carefully crafted limited edition for a new generation of adventurous listeners.
Exorcist II: The Heretic
2025 stock In one of his first forays into big budget Hollywood, Ennio Morricone handed in one of his weirdest, eeriest scores.
From the beautiful to the absolutely demented, while still playing in the same sandbox. Once you get to the deranged Satanic prog rock of “Magic And Ecstasy,” it hits you: this is the craziest we’ve ever heard Morricone. And it’s amazing.
“I like the first Exorcist, because of the Catholic guilt I have, and because it scared the hell out of me; but The Heretic surpasses…
Indagine Su Un Cittadino Al Di Sopra Di Ogni Sospetto (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)
Ennio Morricone's subversive 1970 masterpiece finally emerges in full stereo after 55 years. This restored edition of Indagine su un Cittadino al di Sopra di Ogni Sospetto reveals the composer's deliberately "imperfect" instrumentation—out-of-tune piano, mandolin, synthesizer—as radical social commentary. Essential archival triumph.
Un tranquillo posto di campagna
Limited edition numbered to 500 copies. Transparent green vinyl format / 180 grams + CD. One of cinema's greatest composers ventures into his darkest territory. Ennio Morricone's haunting soundtrack to Elio Petri's 1968 psychological thriller A Quiet Place in the Country stands as perhaps his most radical and experimental work - a disturbing sonic journey that abandons melodic comfort for pure psychological terror. The film follows a painter (Franco Nero) in creative crisis who retreats with his…
La Proprietà Non è Più un Furto
Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and Universal Music Publishing Italia, presents the definitive, remastered reissue of Ennio Morricone’s complete score for Elio Petri’s 1973 film La proprietà non è più un furto (“Property Is No Longer a Theft”).

Beat Records is pleased to re-release on CD the OSTs by Ennio Morricone for the romantic comedy films Idoli controluce and …E la donna creo’ l’uomo (aka Volles Herz und leere Taschen).

This CD reissue, lasting 51:04, includes for the first time the Baroque-flavored piece “Villa Madama,” which was fe…
The Good, The Bad And The Ugly/Il Buono, Il Brutto E Il Cattivo
Directed by Sergio Leone, “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” is the final chapter in the legendary “Dollars Trilogy” and one of the most iconic films in cinema history. Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli Wallach form an unforgettable triangle set against the backdrop of a grim, dusty, and almost surreal American Civil War. The film is epic, lyrical, and grotesque all at once—but what elevates it to true legend is the immortal soundtrack by Ennio Morricone. The legendary main theme is one of th…
Nuovo Cinema Paradiso
The soundtrack for “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” (1988), composed by Ennio Morricone in collaboration with his son Andrea, is a masterpiece filled with emotion, nostalgia, and beauty. Like Giuseppe Tornatore’s film, it narrates the bond between past and present, between cinema and life, with a delicacy and depth that have made it one of the most iconic soundtracks in cinematic history. “Nuovo Cinema Paradiso” is a homage to the power of cinema as an art form and a shared experience. The story follows …

4 Mosche di Velluto Grigio
Manic percussion, tense staccato strings, discordant piano riffs, and jazz-rock motifs – this is Il Maestro at his finest. 4 Mosche di Velluto Grigio (4 Flies on Grey Velvet) is the third and final part of Dario Argento's world famous cult, terror trilogy. Fear, according to Dario Argento, is hidden behind metaphorical, animal symbols that mirror degenerative urban decay, in other words a kind of mental zoo. Birds with crystal plumage, cats with nine tails, grey velvet flies, enough species to t…
Cuore di Mamma
Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI General Music, presents a remastered reissue of the ultimate edition of the obscure Ennio Morricone score for Cuore di Mamma, a dramatic, grotesque story directed by Salvatore Samperi in 1969. It is the story of Lorenza (Carla Gravina), a mother of three children who is unable to communicate. Her attitude is childish, impassive, conformist in form and substance. A mother with a heart of stone, she is harassed by political extremism from differen…
Alzati Spia
The soundtrack for “Alzati spia” Espion, lève-toi, composed by Ennio Morricone, is a masterful example of how music can enhance the atmosphere of a spy thriller. Released in 1982, the film, directed by Yves Boisset and starring Lino Ventura and Michel Piccoli, is a dark and psychologically intense story that delves into the shadowy world of intelligence operations during the Cold War. The movie stands out for its balance between narrative tension and introspection, with a protagonist caught in a…

Danger: Diabolik
On Danger: Diabolik, Ennio Morricone weaponises pop, jazz and electronics into a hyper‑stylised heist engine: fuzz guitars, wordless vocals and mod orchestration turning Mario Bava’s comic‑book caper into a delirious, late‑60s sonic hallucination.
C'Era Una Volta Il West
There are not enough superlatives to describe Ennio Morricone’s score to "Once Upon a Time in the West". It is considered the best movie soundtrack ever by many. Finally we have the complete score in 31 tracks. 4 of these have never been previously released, 3 have never been released by the Solisti and 3 have been upgraded. It includes a 24 page booklet with critical notes & listener’s guide.
Once Upon a Time in America
The original soundtrack was presented in two different versions, the initial one being restricted to 15 tracks and 50 minutes because of the limitations of the vinyl format. A so-called special edition saw the light on CD in 1998, adding 25 minutes to the program. It included a long suite which was actually a collage partly repeating previously released music. Combining the album tracks with additional music heard in the movie and removing the duplications, a program of more than 78 minutes was …
