Piero Piccioni

A superb soundtrack composed for the Francesco Rosi’s film “Cadaveri Eccellenti” based on the novel “Il Trattato” by Leonardo Sciascia. A portrait of Italy during the infamous Years of Lead (Anni di Piombo), Cadaveri Eccellenti presented in 1976 at the Cannes Film Festival caused an outcry for the inconvenient issues addressed. Jazz and funky tunes are mixed here with a big orchestra-style peculiar of the best composition by the maestro Piero Piccioni, this album is an enjoyable journey into dark and light atmospheres.
