Beat Records reissues on CD the wonderful OST by Ennio Morricone for the drama film I figli chiedono perché, directed in 1972 by Nino Zanchin with a screenplay by Suso Cecchi D'Amico and Nino Zanchin. Despite winning the 1974 Giffoni Film Festival, no music from the film was released until 1994, when Point Records/GDM released a double-feature CD including selections from Cuore di mamma (1969). After more than twenty years, this OST returns on CD, prepared using the mono masters from the original recording sessions. Ennio Morricone composed a poignant love theme with the crystalline voice of Edda Dell'Orso, who vocalizes on a melody for piano and orchestra. The main theme, "Tema" is reprised for guitar and strings in "Nuovi angeli" and for oboe and large orchestra. The composer also wrote a series of pieces dominated by avant-garde and psychedelic atmospheres created by the harp with echo and reverberation effects to represent the enchanted world of a fairy tale in contrast to the horrors of war: "Arpa-Fata Morgana prima," "Arpa-Fata Morgana seconda," "Arpa," and "Arpa (versione Arpe II)." Worthy of note is "Fiaba seconda," a thrilling piece with a mystical-religious flavor featuring Edda's vocals accompanied by the Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni choir and orchestra. This reissue represents an excellent opportunity to pay homage to the colossal musical artistry of the genius Ennio Morricone.
CD, 21 tracks from the original mono session masters.
