From the album cover sticker on Dagored’s<\/strong> excellent 2017 re-issue of Morricone’s<\/strong> score to Giulio Petroni’s<\/strong> 1967 Spaghetti Western, “Death Rides A Horse<\/strong>“:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

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