Ennio Morricone-Le Ruffian-Jose Giovanni OST-NEW CD
Ennio Morricone --
Le Ruffian ...
NEW CD
A very unusual soundtrack from Ennio Morricone -- scored for an adventure drama starring Lino Ventura as Le Ruffian!
For the music, Morricone is sort of filling the shoes of Francois De Roubaix -- who composed previously for the film's director Jose Giovanni, but had passed away before this one. Morricone's using a very Roubaix-like assortment of instruments here -- plucked guitar, wooden flutes, harmonica, and light percussion -- often in a mode that's a lot more folksy than the usual Morricone mode! At times, some of the drama of older spaghetti western styles come through -- but often, there's a really different pitch going on too -- one that makes the record a real standout in the Morricone catalog.
CD presents the full score, plus a number of previously unreleased tracks -- a whopping 24 titles that includes "Le Ruffian", "Western", "Sporco Ma Distinto", "Amici Come Pochi", "Ricordo Rosa", "L'Oro Come Pericolo", and "Viaggio In 4".
