It's on the LEGEND label, catalogue CD-15 LA TENDA ROSSA (The Red Tent) 1. Love Theme 3:31 2. Do Dreams Go On 2:30 3. Death at the Pole 4:11 4. A love like the Snow 2:12 5. Message from Rome 1:40 6. They're Alive 1:39 7. Farewell 2:51 8. Others who will follow us 22:20 It's a lovely score except for track 8 which is a bit wierd, abstract, and a bit hard to get on with. Lovely themes. Cheers

One of my few favorite Morricone scores. I don't have many. I actually paid money to see the movie, years ago, at the Warner Theatre in Pittsburgh, now long gone. Not a good movie, despite its starry cast. But the music was good. Well worth purchasing.

A great score that one. The first 20 minutes are very melodic and emotional music, and it is pure genius, despite the fact that it only consists of 2 themes. The last 20 minutes is a suite which consists of all dissonant music. I rarely enjoy dissonant music, but this cue can in fact be a great listen when in the right mood. Starts of droning for several minutes and builts up, with occassional morse code sounds, until it evolves into more exciting action music. Composed in 1968, the same year as several other collector favorites, among them; Guns for San Sebastian, Love circle, Once upon a time in the west, The nun from Monza. Peter

One of my very favourite Morricone scores. The Love Theme is a perfect example of a composer finding a great melody and taking his time with it; a nice slow build up, the soaring voice, the strings kick in, a few wind accents. Before you know it, you're in the midst of a full-blown anthem, three and a half minutes have passed in a flash. The "Do Dreams Go On" theme is of similar quality, digs into your heart, abruptly interrupted by the exigencies of the film. That covers the first two tracks - the third is also a joy, with a marvellous fugue leading into another statement of the "Dreams" theme, and then a slow down into an icy, pulsating and almost religious passage, followed by the two main themes. "A Love Like the Snow" has a slightly quicker version of the love theme. "Message From Rome" is a short and gently suspenseful track, introducing the pianistic SOS. Another brief version of the "Dreams" theme is followed by a lingering incarnation in "Farewell" - you can really immerse your self in this one. "Others, Who Will Follow Us" (English track titles used for clarity, btw) takes up slightly more than half the score, and demands your attention. As stated elsewhere, it's a joining together of many short cues, but in a seamless way. I read once that this huge track is like a cloud, with one part of it developing over here, then another part over there, until the whole thing has changed character without you really being conscious of it. Just before the middle, there's a passage where the SOS distress call is picked up by the orchestra and turned into a sort of "M'aidez Scherzo". The track eventually wanders towards a timeless conclusion. Yup, I'm quite fond of this score.

have about 6 or 7 tracks from this score - and there some are real classic Morricone gems there. Saw the film some years ago and dont recall much about it except Peter Finch, but its a rare screening on TV, that's for sure. One review described the film as "...disjointed but fascinating Italian-Russian co-production....memorably scored by Ennio Morricone..."
