This is the original soundtrack to the 1972 cult classic Barbablu' starring Richard Burton. Based on the traditional fairy tale Blue Beard, this version of the film is set in Weimar, Germany and the uxoricidal Barbablu (Burton) is the Nazi Baron Von Sepper. The female cast includes Virna Lisi, Racquel Welch (Miss Universe) and Karin Schubert (future porn star!).
Directed by Edward Dmytryk and Luciano Sacripanti, Morricone's soundtrack perfectly captures the dramatic and erratic moods of this erotic psycho-thriller with eerie organs, haunting strings, quirky instrumentation, and sultry 60s vibe. It's good for sitting in the dark when you're spacing out.. Remastered Version with bonus and unreleased tracks.
Released April 2017 on Rustblade Records.
