Beat Records is pleased to reissue on CD the OST by Ennio Morricone for the drama film Il pentito, directed in 1985 by Pasquale Squitieri with a screenplay by Pasquale Squitieri, Laura Toscano, Lino Jannuzzi, Orazio Barrese, and Franco Marotta, photography by Silvano Ippoliti, editing by Mauro Bonanni, music by Ennio Morricone, production by C.G. Silver Film, Distribution Ceiad, and a cast featuring Franco Nero, Tony Musante, Erik Estrada, Max von Sydow, Rita Rusic, Marino Mase, Ivo Garrani, Imma Piro, Philippe Le Marie, Giuseppe Mannajuolo, Claudine Auger, Enrico Maisto, Luigi Montini, Anna Orso, Mario Granato, Rick Battaglia, Marina Berti, Salvatore Billa, Roberto Caporali, Mario Erpichini, Bernard Faber, Tommaso Palladino, Gianfranco Salemi, Giuseppe Rizzo, Tony Sperandeo, Santi Bellina, Bjorn Hammer, Francesco Torrisi, Venantino Venantini, Luigi Uzzo, Irina Carletti, Sasha D'Arc, Antonio De Leo, Marcello Filotico, J. Emmanuele Gartmann, Fabio Mastrantonio, Denis Pekarev, Cristina Piras, and Alessandro Spadorciaj.
The plot: The 1970s: Spinola's financier collapses, a Milanese lawyer working in the Mafia is murdered, and Mafia boss Vanni Ragusa is released from prison. A fake kidnapping transports the bankrupt Spinola to Sicily for a showdown with the Cosa Nostra bosses who had entrusted him with an immense fortune and sent him back to America, claiming he is incompetent and useless. Don Salvo Lercara, the Corleone Mafia boss, escapes from the Ucciardone prison, sparking a savage settling of scores involving rival mafiosi who are vying with him for control of the arms and drug trade. Vanni Ragusa escapes and hides in America, where he learns of the murder of his son and brother. Anguished for the fate of his wife and other son, who were witnesses to the massacre, he accepts extradition to Italy and promises Judge Falco, who is leading the investigation with the FBI, that he will cooperate with the prosecution provided he is guaranteed the protection of his surviving family members and his return to America after questioning, which the judge agrees to. This is followed by endless raids on Corleone mafiosi and the arrest of a magistrate, who resorts to suicide to avoid infamy.
The music: In 1985, Ennio Morricone prepared a twelve-track album that never saw the light of day at the time, but ten years later, in 1995, the material was released on GDM Point (PRCD 112) paired with "Corleone." In 2007, under Ennio Morricone's supervision, "Il pentito" was expanded on GDM CD (CD CLUB 7041) with the addition of eight bonus tracks. Now, this 74:05 presentation, taken from the stereo masters of the original sessions, is back on the market. Ennio Morricone has always had a strong artistic connection with Sicily, scoring many films set on this wonderful island including Gente di rispetto, Corleone, Dimenticare Palermo, La violenza: Quinto potere, Il prefetto di ferro, Malena, L'uomo delle stelle, Baaria, and La scorta.
The main theme "Il pentito" has a religious flavor, sweet and sad, which evokes the setting of the story (Tr.1), reprised with a pastoral atmosphere in "Il pentito (Addio al padre)" (Tr.6), "Il pentito (Ripresa)" (Tr.11), "Il pentito (Ripresa 2)" (Tr.17), and in "Il pentito (Ripresa 3)" (Tr.20) with different instrumentation. Morricone contrasts the tranquility of this motif with dramatic pieces such as "Evento finale" (Tr.3), "Retata" (Tr.5), "Momento decisivo" (Tr.7), "Strano notturno" (Tr.10), and "Retata seconda" (Tr.12), where the listener will find all the sound elements of Noir according to Morricone. The piece "Sicilia" is a lyrical homage by the composer to Trinacria (Tr.19).

あらすじ:
1970年代。スピノーラの資金提供者が破綻し、マフィアと関わるミラノの弁護士が殺害され、マフィアのボス、ヴァンニ・ラグーザが刑務所から釈放される。偽の誘拐事件をきっかけに、破産したスピノーラはシチリアへと連れ出され、かつて彼に莫大な財産を託し、その後「無能で役立たず」としてアメリカへ送り返したコサ・ノストラのボスたちとの決着をつけることになる。コルレオーネのマフィアボス、ドン・サルヴォ・レルカラがウッチャルドーネ刑務所から脱獄し、武器や麻薬取引の支配権を巡って彼と争うライバルマフィアたちによる熾烈な報復合戦が勃発する。ヴァンニ・ラグーザは脱走してアメリカに潜伏するが、そこで息子と弟が殺害されたことを知る。虐殺の現場を目撃した妻ともう一人の息子の安否を案じ、彼はイタリアへの身柄引き渡しを受け入れ、FBIと共に捜査を指揮するファルコ判事に、生き残った家族の保護と取り調べ後のアメリカへの帰国が保証されることを条件に、検察に協力することを約束する。判事はこれを受け入れた。その後、コルレオーネのマフィアに対する絶え間ない家宅捜索が行われ、ある治安判事が逮捕されるが、彼は不名誉を避けるために自殺に及んだ。
音楽:
1985年、エンニオ・モリコーネは12曲入りのアルバムを制作したが、当時は日の目を見なかった。しかし10年後の1995年、その音源は『白熱マフィア戦争 皆殺しの抗争』とセットでGDM Point(PRCD 112)からリリースされた。2007年には、エンニオ・モリコーネの監修のもと、『Il pentito』がGDM CD(CD CLUB 7041)として、8曲のボーナストラックを追加してエクスパンデッド盤としてリリースされた。今回、オリジナルのレコーディング・セッションのステレオ・マスター音源から制作された、総再生時間74分05秒のこの作品が、再び市場に登場した。エンニオ・モリコーネは、シチリア島と常に強い芸術的結びつきを持っており、『Gente di rispetto』、『白熱マフィア戦争 皆殺しの抗争』、『パレルモ』、『La violenza: Quinto potere』、『鉄人長官』、『マレーナ』、『明日を夢見て』、『シチリア!シチリア!』、『La scorta』など、この素晴らしい島を舞台にした数多くの映画の音楽を手掛けてきた。
メインテーマ「Il pentito」は、物語の舞台を彷彿とさせる、甘くも切ない宗教的な趣を帯びている(Tr.1)。このテーマは、「Il pentito (Addio al padre)」(Tr.6)、「Il pentito (Ripresa)」(Tr.11)、「Il pentito (Ripresa 2)」 (Tr.17)、そして異なる楽器編成による「Il pentito (Ripresa 3)」(Tr.20)で再登場します。モリコーネは、このモチーフの静けさと、「Evento finale」(Tr.3)、「Retata」(Tr.5)、「Momento decisivo」 (Tr.7)、「Strano notturno」(Tr.10)、そして「Retata seconda」(Tr.12)といった劇的な楽曲と対比させており、これらの楽曲には、モリコーネが定義するノワールのあらゆる音響的要素が聴き手に見出されるだろう。「Sicilia」という楽曲は、作曲家によるトリナクリアへの叙情的なオマージュである(Tr.19)。
