Gianni Ferrio

Gianni Ferrio wrote a symphonic score dominated by a romantic adagio-style main theme featuring the crystal-clear voice of Edda Dell'Orso. This captivating motif returns with orchestral variations alternating with dark, action-packed and adventurous passages. The soundtrack album was released in 1973 in Italy by Cinevox with 12 tracks and a running time of 37 minutes. In 1997, the first CD release appeared in Germany and included the album programme plus five minutes of unreleased music from the Cinevox album master. In 2014, the specialist label Quartet Records in Spain released for the first time ever a double CD that included the stereo album, three stereo bonus tracks and the complete soundtrack in mono. Although the tapes from the original mono session were somewhat damaged, releasing it in its entirety is a sincere tribute to the musical artistry of the great Gianni Ferrio.
