Does anybody out there know who conducted this Morricone score?
According to chimai.com it was Bruno Nicolai.
Thanks much!
This implies it was recorded in Italy...
Here's a clue, ToneRow
Listen to the heavenly choir girls......
then come on here and tell me who it is!!
Listen to the guitar throughout - tell me that's not Bruno D'Amario!
Orchestra and choir would have very unlikely gone to America in 1969. That wouldve been done in Rome.
And yes, I agree with Ray, not the most generously-scored Morricone western, but as he says, there may be more music and variations on tapes somewhere. But again, there may be Morricone reasons why it hasn't had a proper release. What we would like and what Ennio wants aint always the same thing!

I'd like a complete release of Two Mules For Sister Sara.
Most of the album tracks aren't even from the film.
From memory (which isn't always reliable) Main Title, A Time For Miracles, The Swinging Rope, La Cueva, La Cantina, The Battle and End Title are pretty much the same as the film versions, the rest are just album fillers.
There are some dramatic tracks that are missing, the longest one being when the cavalry are tracking Hogan and Sara down the river towards the ruins, it precedes "A Time For Miracles"
I honestly don't think there's enough music in the film to really make an expanded album worthwhile.
I would settle for a remastered album release, the Legend release was pitiful, poor sound, track breaks in all the wrong places. I have a cdr made from the LP and the sound is excellent so I'm not sure what went wrong with the Legend release.
What I'd really like is a release along the lines of Days of Heaven, which is one of the best ever presentations of a Morricone score.
I'd also like "For A Few dollars More" to get the same treatment, who knows, maybe someday it'll happen.

Thanks Blue
Music Supervisor: Stanley Wilson
This credit - seen in the opening titles - is what confused some collectors initially and, with it being an American-backed film with an American director - threw some doubt over whether the score was US-recorded or Rome-recorded. Clearly done in Italy. Quite what Wilson's role was seems unclear unless anyone knows? Did he travel to Rome and see the recording so they had someone who knew which bits went where or did he simply handle the music editing in America?
As far as I can see the credits for the film don't list a music editor so that could be the answer.
Anyone have any ideas? Anymore information on Stanley Wilson?

The cue list totals 41:44 by my count. That's 8:02 longer than the Kapp LP, which runs 33:42.
