La Cosa Buffa (Soundtrack) (reissue) vinyl

Ennio Morricone's La Cosa Buffa is a brilliant 1972 soundtrack that beautifully captures the emotional breadth of Aldo Lado's sentimental drama. The score, celebrated for its lush orchestration and hypnotic themes, features an array of string and harpsichord variations, with Edda Dell'Orso's haunting, wordless vocals enhancing the romantic atmosphere. The album, reissued on vibrant yellow vinyl to mark its 50th anniversary, showcs Morricone's exceptional ability to blend dreamy and groovy elements, making it accessible yet deeply evocative. Remastered by Claudio Fuiano, this edition includes a faithful reproduction of the original film poster, adding to its collectible appeal. Notably, the score diverges from Morricone's more intense giallo work, presenting a more melodious and dramatic soundscape. The catchy 'Ballabile N.1' and 'N.2' tracks offer a playful nod to 60s beat music, further enriching the album's varied texture. La Cosa Buffa is a signature example to Morricone's movie magic helping him remain as influential and beloved as ever.
