Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI General Music, presents a remastered reissue of the ultimate edition of VERUSCHKA (1971), one of the most beautiful and heartbreaking scores Ennio Morricone composed during the busiest period of his career. The film is a weird production by fashion photographer Franco Rubartelli-a visually lush and moody head vehicle about European supermodel Veruschka. - Composed a year before MADDALENA, Ennio Morricone's soundtrack has a certain connection to the later film, especially in the sacred aura evoked by using mystical organ and the timbre of the female voice. It is one of Morricone's most elegant and best-remembered works in the realm of lounge music, where Edda dell'Orso's vaporous voice is filtered through unusual timbres, swaying over sensual rhythms devoid of thick instrumentation. - The album of VERUSCHKA has been released several times on LP and CD since it's first appearance in the mid-nineties on the Point label (only a single with two cues was released concurrently with the film). In 2011, GDM CD Club released an expanded limited edition, supervised by the composer and produced by Dániel Winkler and Claudio Fuiano, containing all the music recorded for the film, which quickly sold out. This is a reissue of the same program, revised and mastered by Chris Malone from first-generation stereo master tapes. The booklet includes liner notes by Miguel Angel Ordóñez discussing the movie, the music and the composer.
