Quartet Records, in collaboration with Fox Records, Island Def Jam and Universal Music Enterprises, presents a remastered and expanded edition of Ennio Morricone’s iconic score for Henri Verneuil’s beloved French-Italian-American noir from 1969, THE SICILIAN CLAN, starring Alain Delon, Lino Ventura, Jean Gabin, Irina Demyck and Sydney Chaplin.
Based on the novel by Auguste Le Breton, THE SICILIAN CLAN is a technical masterwork and a classic of the gangster genre. It was also a huge international success. The plot is about a young, ambitious mobster who plans an elaborate diamond heist while seducing the daughter of a ruthless mob patriarch as a determined police commissioner closes in on all of them.
The memorable score by Ennio Morricone consists of an evocative, idiosyncratic main theme that is developed in four distinctive elements throughout the score. Morricone’s music was often marked by unusual instrumental and effects; in this score, those include a distinctive “Sicilian boing” and the whistling of Alessandro Alessandroni.
The score of THE SICILIAN CLAN was released worldwide by Fox Records (except in Italy, where the rights belong to CAM) in a brilliant, beloved 30-minute album that has been reissued on LP and CD several times among the years. This CD includes the remastered album and also several versions?differing in length and orchestration?that Morricone recorded for the slightly different American and European cuts of the film. Produced and mastered by Chris Malone from first-generation master tapes. Claudio Fuiano supervised the album, and the package includes a 20-page booklet with liner notes by film music writer Jeff Bond. Limited 1000 copies
マフィア映画の原点にしてマスター・ピース!アラン・ドロン、ジャン・ギャバン、リノ・ヴァンチュラの三大スター豪華競演によるフィルム・ノワール超大作『シシリアン』のオリジナル・サウンドトラック。エンニオ・モリコーネによる印象的なスコアは、喚起的で特異なメインテーマから成り、スコア全体を通して4つの特徴的な要素で展開される。モリコーネの音楽は、しばしば珍しい楽器や効果音で特徴付けられる。このスコアでは、独特の“シシリアン・ブーン”とアレッサンドロ・アレッサンドローニの口笛がそれである。
トラックリスト『シシリアン』のスコアは、フォックス・レコードから全世界で発売され（イタリアは除く、CAMが権利を所有）、30分の見事なアルバムとして愛され、これまでに何度もLPやCDで再発されてきた。このCDは、リマスター盤に加え、モリコーネがアメリカとヨーロッパで録音した、長さと編成が微妙に異なる複数のバージョンを収録しています。第一世代のマスターテープからクリス・マローンがプロデュースとマスタリングを担当。クラウディオ・フイアーノが監修し、映画音楽ライターのジェフ・ボンドによるライナーノーツ付き20ページブックレットを封入。
限定1000枚。
