Digitmovies proudly presents on CD complete and in full stereo another musical
jewel by Ennio Morricone from the TV movie broadcasted by Italian Rai Television
Il prigioniero (aka The Prisoner) , a free adaptation by screenwriter Fabio
Carpi of the novel Il duello (The duel) by Anton Chekov, directed in 1978 by
Aldo Lado, produced by Giulio Scanni and starring John Steiner, Marina
Malfatti,Jos Quaglio,Attilio Duse,Luigi Di Sales,Flavio Andreini,Ettore
Manni,Vincenzo Crocitti, Antonio Casagrande,Gianni Cavina. The main protagonist
of the story is an Italian intellectual who is sent to political exile at the
dawn of the Second World War. The reason of this measure is not due to his
anti-fascism, but to his relationship with the wife of one of Mussolinis
party-leaders. At that time C.A.M. released a 45 rpm in stereo (C.A.M. AMP 207)
with the two tracks Lestate finita (3:03) and I due prigionieri (3:39) (here
Tr.1 and Tr.16). Thanks to the friends at C.A.M. we could use for this premiere
recording on CD the master tapes with the complete stereo session that gave us
the chance to produce a CD with a total length of 59:40. Ennio Morricone has
composed an extremely serious score which reflects the whole sentimental and
dramatic side of the historic atmosphere in which the protagonist is immersed.
The author varies the main theme with different orchestrations: the romantic,
but nostalgic Lestate finita for flute, harpsichord and orchestra (Tr.1),
reprised in Tr.5 with harpsichord chromatism in Tr.9, with a flute performance
in Tr.13 and with harpsichord and orchestra in Tr.15. The second motif I due
prigionieri (Tr.2) is introduced by the solo flutes in an almost experimental
context, later accompanied by cellos and basses and then reprised as a
background to psychological suspense with brass, piano and vibes (Tr.3) and
fascinating variations (Tr.6,Tr.8,Tr.10,Tr.12,Tr.14,Tr.16). This painful
atmosphere is broken up by source music which re-creates the sound of that era
like the Sicilian folk song for male voice and guitar Si lammuri (Tr.4) and the
romantic old-fashioned romantic tune for male voice, piano and guitar Dove sei
amore (Tr.11). Another right and proper rescue of the Italian Silver Age and of
the wonderful musical art of Ennio Morricone.
