Classic Morricone soundtrack to a film directed in 1971 by Sergio Sollima. “Il diavolo nel cervello” works on an almost-full symphonic register: on a strings-made ground we have piano, harpsichord, flutes and brass instruments. It’s a very airy work that sips moments of tension, where the pace is dictated solely by jazzy drums played with bristles. Undoubtedly, one of the best productions of the Maestro from those early ‘70s, including Bruno Nicolai as a conductor and Edda Dell’Orso singing choirs.
