Quartet Records, in collaboration with Carosello Edizioni Musicali, presents a definitive, expanded 2-CD edition of Ennio Morricone’s celebrated score for a 1971 Italian thriller, GIORNATA NERA PER L’ARIETE (aka THE FIFTH CORD), directed by Luigi Bazzoni and starring Franco Nero, Silvia Monti, Ira Von Furstenbergm Edmund Purdon, Pamela Tiffin and Agostina Belli.
Morricone’s thriller scores remain some of his most distinctive and original works. As demonstrated in his scores for Dario Argento’s efforts in the genre, Morricone’s uncanny ability to combine lyricism, unbridled avant-garde experimentation and stylish elegance was his most significant contribution to the category. GIORNATA NERA PER L’ARIETE shows Morricone once again embracing the sophisticated avant-garde sound while beginning his score with a haunting tune performed by Edda Dell’Orso heard over the film’s main titles. The lullaby-like theme has a timeless quality, providing a disturbing and disarming melody for the film.
As with many of his giallos, Ennio Morricone’s score for GIORNATA NERA PER L’ARIETE was never released on an album (only the main theme was included in the Morricone compilation album COLORI in 1971). In 1996, under the composer’s supervision, the Point label released the first official album of the score. In 2001, Dagored expanded the program to 10 minutes, and it was expanded again for release in Japan in 2007 on the Verita Note label. But despite these expansions, there was still some music recorded by Morricone that remained unreleased. For this new Quartet edition, the score has been fully restored, remixed and edited by Daniel Winkler from the original tapes of the recording session, presenting the complete score as Morricone conceived it on disc 1. Disc 2 contains the original remastered album prepared by Morricone in 1996, as well as several alternates.
This CD has been mastered by Chris Malone, supervised by Claudio Fuiano, and includes a 20-page booklet with in-depth liner notes by film music writer Jeff Bond. Limited edition: 500 units
フランコ・ネロが事件を追う記者に扮する、1971年のイタリアン犯罪サスペンス映画のサウンドトラックがついにCD2枚組完全盤でリリース！
トラックリストモリコーネのスリラー映画の音楽は、今でも彼の最も個性的で独創的な作品のひとつである。ダリオ・アルジェントがこのジャンルで手がけた作品のスコアで実証されたように、叙情性、奔放な前衛的実験性、スタイリッシュなエレガンスを融合させるモリコーネの不思議な能力は、このカテゴリーにおける彼の最も重要な貢献であった。『新・殺しのテクニック 次はお前だ！』では、洗練されたアヴァンギャルドなサウンドを再び取り入れたモリコーネが、映画のメインタイトルに流れるエッダの妖艶な曲でスコアを始めている。子守唄のようなこのテーマは時代を超越したクオリティを持ち、不穏で心を揺さぶるメロディーを映画に提供している。
エンニオ・モリコーネが作曲した『新・殺しのテクニック 次はお前だ！』のスコアは、多くのジャッロと同様、アルバムとしてリリースされることはなかった（1971年のモリコーネ・コンピレーション・アルバム『COLORI』にメイン・テーマのみ収録）。1996年、作曲者の監修のもと、Pointレーベルから初の公式アルバムがリリース。2001年にはDAGOREDから10分に拡大され、日本では2007年にヴェリタノーテ・レーベルからリリースされました。しかし、こうした拡張にもかかわらず、モリコーネによって録音された未発表の音楽が残っていました。この新しいエディションでは、レコーディング・セッションのオリジナル・テープからスコアが完全に復元され、ダニエル・ウィンクラーによってリミックスと編集が施され、モリコーネが考えた通りの完全なスコアがディスク1に収録されています。ディスク2には、1996年にモリコーネが用意したオリジナル・リマスター・アルバムと、いくつかの別バージョンが収録されています。
20ページのブックレットが封入。限定500枚。
