This edition (first time on CD) presents the original LP material, together with new tracks recovered from the original masters, completing an excellent edition.
Angelo Francesco Lavagnino creates a melodic and dramatic score nice to listen outside the film. The initial track opens with a haunting percussion, which quickly becomes more rhythmic, accompanying the melody that gradually takes over the track as bolero, culminating in a spectacular chords. There are a variety of music, songs with a delicate string and sinuous use of the harp, incidental tracks to provide the history of necessary dramatic tone and tension, diegetic themes which are defined by the presence of solo instruments like accordion or piano.
