Description

Sacco e Vanzetti is a 1971 dramatic movie directed by Giuliano Montaldo and masterfully starred by the two lead actors Gian Maria Volont and Riccardo Cucciolla the film deals with the everpopular topic of the death penalty by recounting a real event that caused quite a stir at the time the sentencing to the electric chair of two Italian immigrants who were executed in 1927 after a sevenyear trial.For Sacco amp Vanzetti Ennio Morricone composed one of the most intense scores of his long and successful career, starting with the mostly romantic and extremely sad theme for oboe and orchestra Speranze di libert. Joan Baezs charming voice interprets La ballata di Sacco e Vanzetti, divided into three parts alternating with the macabre theme of Nel carcere provided by electronic effects and ripping strings that would fit well in a giallo movie. The ballad motif is then reprised and played by liturgical organ and orchestra in Sacco e il figlio, while La sedia elettrica is an experimental electronic music cut. The closing song Heres to You, sung by Joan Baez, has become a sort of anthem worldwide.On the occasion of Record Store Day 2024, this legendary soundtrack is exclusively reissued on clear vinyl, with new artwork and a 30x30cm insert.
