Io, Emmanuelle

Quartet Records in collaboration with Gruppo Sugar present the premiere CD release of a Gianni Ferrio infectious, classy "Emmanuelle score."

The music for Io, Emmanuelle is courtesy of Italian composer Gianni Ferrio, one of the lesser celebrated Italian composers of the Italian silver age. Much like the film itself, the music for Io, Emmanuelle includes a series of self-contained pieces, each tailor-made for the increasingly crazier encounters with men. From the blasphemous religious orgy of "Preludio" / "Profonditá" to bass flute solo of "Ricerca" during the lesbian bathroom encounter to the insanity of the militaristic "Caos", every piece of the puzzle fits in nicely with Emmanuelle chequered love life. Every man Emmanuelle encounters receives his own musical insignia, a self-contained set piece tailor-made for each conquest.

The current CD recreates the original 13-track LP program, followed by five bonus tracks including the most important additions of them all - the actual theme song. Mastered by Claudio Fuiano, the package includes liner notes by Gergely Hubai discuss the film and the score.
