Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and Universal Music Publishing Ricordi, presents a completely revised, remastered edition of the catchy Ennio Morricone score for AD OGNI COSTO (aka GRAND SLAM), a 1967 comedy-caper movie directed by Giuliano Montaldo, starring Janet Leight, Edward G. Robinson, Klaus Kinski, Robert Hoffmann and Adolfo Celi. The story is about Professor James Anders, who, upon retiring, presents a famous criminal with an elaborate plan to rob a diamond company in Brazil with a team of professionals. The men meet in Rio de Janeiro and encounter an unexpected problem: a new alarm system called Grand Slam 70.
The original score by Ennio Morricone adds atmosphere and sophistication, helping to balance the mix of intrigue, action and glamour that defines the tone of the film. His work is based on a hybrid architecture that combines modal jazz, Brazilian bossa nova and Italian pop music from the 1960s. Far from being an eclectic sum or a simple collage of styles, Morricone works with these influences as overlapping layers that construct an autonomous musical discourse.
The album was released in a short promotional run by RCA in Italy in 1967 and reissued on LP in the 1980s by the Intermezzo label. In the 1990s, the same program appeared for the first time on CD, also by RCA. In 2010, an expanded edition, featuring virtually the entire score, was released on CD by GDM. This new edition, supervised by Claudio Fuiano and restored and mastered by Chris Malone. The booklet includes an essay by Miguel Angel Ordonez that discusses both film and score. Limited edition: 500 units
エンニオ・モリコーネによる1967年公開のコメディ・犯罪アクション映画『盗みのプロ部隊』のキャッチーなスコアを完全改訂・リマスター盤としてリリース！
トラックリスト本作はジュリアーノ・モンタルド監督作品で、ジャネット・ライト、エドワード・G・ロビンソン、クラウス・キンスキー、ロベルト・ホフマン、アドルフォ・チェリが出演している。物語は、引退したジェームズ・アンダース教授が、プロ集団を率いてブラジルのダイヤモンド会社を襲撃する精巧な計画を著名な犯罪者に提案するところから始まる。男たちはリオデジャネイロで合流するが、予期せぬ問題に直面する??“グランドスラム70”と呼ばれる新型警報システムだ。
エンニオ・モリコーネによるオリジナル・スコアは、陰謀、アクション、華やかさが混ざり合う本作のトーンを定義する雰囲気と洗練さを加え、バランスを取る役割を果たしている。彼の作品は、モーダル・ジャズ、ブラジルのボサノヴァ、1960年代のイタリア・ポップ・ミュージックを融合させたハイブリッドな構造に基づいている。単なる折衷的な寄せ集めやスタイルのコラージュではなく、モリコーネはこれらの影響を重なり合う層として扱い、自律的な音楽的言説を構築している。
このアルバムは1967年にRCAよりイタリアで短期間のプロモーション盤としてリリースされ、1980年代にINTERMEZZOレーベルよりLPで再発された。1990年代には、同じくRCAより初めてCD化される。2010年にはGDMより、ほぼ全楽曲を収録した拡張盤CDがリリースされた。この新盤はクラウディオ・フアイアーノ監修、クリス・マローンによる修復・マスタリングを施している。ブックレットにはミゲル・アンヘル・オルドニェスによる映画とスコアの両方を論じたエッセイが収録されています。
500枚限定盤。
