Ann is the eight wife of baron Klaus von Sepper (Richard
Burton), heroic aviator of the first World War and later a
nazi, that following a wound he adorned himself with a bizarre
blue beard.
Lurking in her husband's castle, the woman discovers
a cold storage with the bodies of the brides who have preceded
her.
Ennio Morricone has written a score that perfectly highlights
all the atmosphere between mystery and romantic, macabre and
horror of the plot writing a recurring theme played by the
Hungarian cimbalom (the story is placed in Budapest during
the '20s).
The composer reprises the main theme alternating it in a remarkable
way with different and fascinating variations.
Beside the stereo material issued on the 33 rpm album, alternate
takes in mono from the original session have been added including
the rare film version of the Main Titles, all properly restored
and remastered in digital. |
