Morricone, Ennio

Un Uomo Da Rispettare Ost

Un Uomo Da Rispettare translates to "A Man to Respect," which can easily be said of Ennio Morricone himself-the unparalleled maestro of the soundtrack. This 1972 crime film stars Kirk Douglas as a master safecracker at a crossroads in his life, emerging from prison yet tempted by one last big job. Morricone builds the main theme around Cicci Santuccis flugelhorn as riveting leitmotifs reprise amidst variations of noir-jazz abstraction to frame the composers grand vision. A strident, two-note piano phrase sets the mood of heightened tension, while muted timpani and trance-like descending bass patterns sweep dramatically across the cinematic stereo field. On "18 Pari," slinky rhythms and softened wah-wah guitars offer a distinctly Italian library music, adding elements of lightness to the overall avant-garde score. Un Uomo Da Rispettares dissonant chords and angular arrangements recall Morricones free improvisation work with Gruppo DImprovvisazione Nuova Consonanza. This first-time vinyl reissue is recommended for fans of Krzysztof Penderecki, Harry Partch and Sun City Girls.
