Death Rides a Horse
Composer: Ennio Morricone
Label Dagored
#RED244
Double LP
Tracks 25
Limited edition 500 copies.
Release date 12/15/2017

The soundtrack for this epic western movie featuring the great Lee Van Cleef bears the signature of Ennio Morricone: guitars, flute, piano, timpani, drums and a Native-American choir style make this motion pictures a kind of original masterpiece in the maestro oeuvre. I Cantori Moderni di Alessandroni perform here in their own unique way with Alessandro Alessandroni on evidence with his original whistling.

For the first time the complete edition on double vinyl limited to 500 copies in colored vinyl.
Extras include an insert wirh a tracklist and movie photos.

The first LP is the basic soundtrack but with some added cues I've never heard before, highlighting Cantori Moderni, and particularly Alessandronis whistling skills.

The second LP includes different cues never released before on vinyl including the vocal main theme, plus a bunch of stereo mixes. The whole things packaged with great artwork of Van Cleef, plus an insert with stills from the movie. Excellent!

This one is definitive. And a must have.
