One of Ennio Morricone's long overlooked master works, the collection of eerie, dissonant choral pieces and freaky takes on traditional Italian children's songs that is Chi l'ha vista morire? is as compelling on its own as it is fascinating in its interaction with the 1972 film.

While at first celebrating a carefree childhood, then lamenting its helplessness and unavoidable loss, Ennio Morricone's brilliant pieces in the end move on to address darker areas of the human psyche, the hysterical chants of the choir imbuing an unnerving sense of schizophrenia in the listener. The hint of Catholic liturgy that characterizes the music is, naturally, just another poignant contribution to the mystery of Chi l'ha vista morire?, in which innocence and evil, desire and violence, all get mixed up.

Sadly, the complete session tapes for the Chi L'ha Vista Morire? soundtrack had long been destroyed, so the stereo master tapes used for the original 1972 album (Gemelli GG.ST.10-017) have been used to produce this CD.

The 30 minutes of music contained in the original 1972 LP and on this premiere CD release contains all the music that was used in the movie.

This soundtrack has also been released by the Italian label 'DigitMovies'. Their release comes in a standard jewel case and is £2.00 more expensive.
