Ennio Morricone - OST: Dietro il processo

Dietro il Processo is a set of TV investigation episodes directed by Franco Biancacci and broadcast in Italy by RAI from 1978 to 1980, as part of the "Storie allo Specchio" series. Ennio Morricone wrote the main theme for "Dietro il Processo" and scored the three episodes "L'urlo", "L'ultima notte di Pier Paolo Pasolini" and "Il caso Montesi". None of Morricone's tracks were initially released and only in 2009 this soundtrack appeared on CD. For "Dietro il Processo" Ennio Morricone wrote a dark, mysterious main theme, perfect for describing urban reality, in which the oboe, the trumpet with mute and the already mentioned flugelhorn played by Oscar Valdambrini intervene (A1, A4, A7, B7). "Confuso notturno" is a soft and extremely romantic piece for harpsichord and strings (A2), reprised in a pop key for saxophone and strings (A5), slower and more magical with keyboard and strings (B1) and in a version for trumpet and strings (B4). "Chiedere aiuto" is another motif of suspense and mystery, where the piano is accompanied by strings (A3), then reprised including Valdambrini's flugelhorn (B3), while "Dietro la facciata" (A6) is an apparently smooth theme for flugelhorn and strings that creates a suspended and hallucinatory atmosphere, reprised with sax (B2) and piano (B5). For this edition the original session stereo masters have been used. First ever LP edition, Record Store Day 2025 exclusive on white vinyl with 30x30cm insert.
