Le Trio Infernal (Original Motion Picture Soundtrack)

Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and EMI General Music Publishing, present a remastered reissue of  the 1972 classic, bizarre and ironic Ennio Morricone cult score for LE TRIO INFERNAL (1972), a successful French dark comedy-drama, sadistic and erotic, directed by Francis Girod, starring Michel Piccoli, Romy Schneider and Mascha Gonska.

The film is about an ambitious lawyer who devises a plan with his German mistress and her sister to deceive wealthy millionaires, marry them and then murder them, disposing of the bodies in sulfuric acid, thereby collecting the inheritance and insurance money. Ennio Morricone responds to the challenge posed by Le trio infernal with one of his most complex and contradictory scores, where lyricism is mixed with irony, beauty is subverted, and music is transformed into a narrative commentary laden with ambiguity.

The album of LE TRIO INFERNAL has been released several times on LP and CD since its first appearance in 1974 on the Yuki label in France. In 2010, GDM CD Club released an expanded limited edition, supervised by the composer and produced by Dániel Winkler and Claudio Fuiano, containing all the music recorded for the film, which quickly sold out. This is a reissue of the same program, revised and mastered by Chris Malone from first-generation stereo master tapes. The booklet includes liner notes by Miguel Angel Ordóñez discussing the movie, the music and the composer.
