Ennio Morricone was an Italian composer known for his fusion of classical and popular music. Born in Rome in 1928, he developed a diverse musical personality, embracing both serialism and experimental improvisation. He gained recognition through collaborations with renowned directors such as Sergio Leone and Quentin Tarantino. In addition to his iconic film scores, Morricone's non-film works have been widely performed and showcase his unique compositional techniques. His numerous accolades include an Academy Award, Grammy, and Leone d'oro.
Morricone's career began with minor cinematic collaborations but skyrocketed with Sergio Leone's Westerns. He went on to work with esteemed directors like Giuseppe Tornatore, Brian De Palma, Roland Joffé, and Pedro Almodóvar. With over 400 film scores to his name, Morricone masterfully blended classical and popular idioms.
In addition to his film compositions, Morricone created non-film works that showcased his technique of 'micro-cells'. These pieces often incorporated modal and tonal allusions while maintaining a pseudo-serial approach. His innovative use of composition materials extended beyond the realm of cinema.

"L'assoluto naturale" is a 1969 flm based on the eponymous novel by Goffredo Parise and directed by Mauro Bolognini Many of his flms have been scored by Ennio Morricone. The two leading actors are Sylva Koscina and Laurence Harvey. The film is a bourgeois sentimental drama which was very popular in that era - lead by the well known theme "Metti, una sera a cena"; it's a soundtrack that blends classical, jazz, pop and lounge music in various reworkings of the main theme, a typical Morriconne trademark. Among the orchestrations directed by Bruno Nicolai, the track "Assalito dalle rondini" stands out, an abstract composition for strings characterised by tension-laden dissonances and dramatic orchestrations. Originally released in 1969 and reissued in a few subsequent editions, the soundtrack of L'assoluto naturale has not been on vinyl for 40 years. This new release with remastered audio and a new sleeve layout delivers this excellent soundtrack in a classy layout.
