Indagine Su Un Cittadino Al Di Ogni Sospetto

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Cinevox Records, presents a completely new edition of Ennio Morricone's masterful score for Elio Petri's masterpiece from 1969, INDAGINE SU UN CITTADINO AL DI SOPRA DI OGNI SOSPETTO. Academy-Award winner of Best Foreign Film in 1970, the filmstars Gian Maria Volonte and Florinda Bolkan in a quintessential example of social and protest cinema.
The intricate plot concerns a high-ranking police inspector who kills his mistress and
deliberately plants clues indicating his responsibility for the crime in a sardonic test to prove that he is above suspicion.
The iconic score written by Ennio Morricone is the pivot point of a grotesque substratum
of black comedy that blurs over a subversive and iconoclastic drama. Starting from the instrumentation used--mandolin, classical guitar, out-of-tune piano, bassoons, synthesizer and mouth harp--the interpretation of the piece, careless, somewhat dirty and imprecise, brilliantly evokes the murkiness insinuated by the images.
The album of INDAGINE has been released many times, both on vinyl and CD--although
until the firstsimultaneous American and French LP releases in 1981, only a 45-rpm single with the two main themes had existed. But it was always in mono until, in 2007, Cinevox released an expanded edition with the original album in mono and some filmversions and alternates remixed in stereo from an incomplete multi-track. Now, thanks to the discovery of the original elements, we are able to present the original album and all the filmversions and alternates in full stereo for the firsttime. Since there was room, we have included the remastered mono album, as it featured unique mixes and takes.
This 2025 edition was mixed, restored and mastered by Chris Malone and produced by
Claudio Fuiano and Daniel Winkler. The accompanying booklet includes an essay by Miguel Angel Ordonez discussing the filmand score.
