Ennio Morricone

Beat Records reissues a classic OST by Ennio Morricone for the Giallo film "Le foto proibite di una Signora per bene" (aka "The Forbidden Photos of a Lady Above Suspicion"), directed in 1971 by Luciano Ercoli starring Dagmar Lassander, Nieves Navarro, Simón Andreu, Pier Paolo Capponi, Osvaldo Genazzani and Salvador Huguet. Ennio Morricone composed a solid OST for a genre for which he had written many memorable scores. For this film he penned an orchestral score in which the crystal voice of Edda Dell'Orso intervenes as an additional instrument in the main theme "Le foto proibite di una Signora per bene," performed in a bossa nova tempo that opens and closes the CD. "Amore come dolore" is a romantic-mysterious theme with beat rhythms, contrasting with numerous dissonant themes and the tense atmosphere in which the female protagonist is immersed. Beat dance music is not lacking with themes much loved by fans such as "Allegretto per Signora," "Intermezzino pop" and "Secondo intermezzino pop," which have also been included in various lounge music compilations. For this CD we used the stereo master tapes from the original recording sessions.
