1967年塞尔吉奥·索利玛导演的西部片《面对面》（英语标题"Face to Face"）是他与埃尼奥·莫里康内的第二次合作（继精彩的《大捕杀》一年之后）。莫里康内，正如你所听到的，在提到这些西部片的时候，他的音乐很不错。这部配乐里有两个主要的主题音乐，两者都是典型的莫里康内西部作品。名义上的主题是一个爆发性的事件，正如他为这一类型的电影所创作的更加标志性的主题一样，其既不古怪也不令人难忘，依旧充满乐趣，尤其是当艾达·戴洛尔索加入，在她亮相的某些时刻。另一个主题是一支柔和的曲子，它在专辑中通常名为"复兴"，其似乎是为托马斯·米利安扮演的主角谱写的一个主题。再者，它不像莫里康内的经典之作一样令人难忘，不过就其本身而言，它依旧充满乐趣。第三个主题，"绝望的向往"是一个美妙的、怅惘的吉他主题，不过它令人沮丧地短暂出现（只有两次，每次持续时间不到一分钟）。

现在，如果你不介意的话，我会对这张专辑抱怨不已，它非常糟糕。我持有的这个版本，有31条音轨散布在50分钟的时长当中，想必是为了这部电影而诞生。它几乎是无休止的重复，频繁连续的音轨基本上没有区别（有十支曲目名为"面对面"），作为一种听觉体验，其没有太大的意义-我更喜欢原始的30分钟的专辑。（令人震惊的是，此后还发行了一张时长更长的专辑！） 所以，最佳的方式可能是简单地按原始专辑运行顺序来享受极为出众的音质。这无疑是一个四星级的听觉体验；按照目前的情形，这张专辑至多是一个二星级的听觉体验，因此，按我复杂的星级评价均值算法，我只会给出二到四星的评价，看看结果如何。

Faccia a Faccia

By James Southall Wednesday October 7, 2009

Composed by Ennio Morricone
Screen Trax CDST 337 / 2001 / 50:10

Sergio Sollima’s 1967 western Faccia a Faccia (or Face to Face) was his second collaboration with Ennio Morricone (following the brilliant The Big Gundown a year before). Morricone, as you may have heard, was not too bad when it came to these westerns. There are two main themes here, both typical Morricone western pieces. The titular main theme is an explosive affair, neither as outlandish nor as memorable as his more iconic themes for films in this genre, but hugely enjoyable all the same, particularly when Edda dell’Orso joins in, as she does during some of its appearances. The other is a softer piece, often called “Involuzione” on the album and seemingly a theme for the main character, played by Tomas Milian. Again, it’s not as memorable as the classics, but again it’s pretty enjoyable in its own right. A third theme, “Disperata Nostalgia”, is a beautiful, wistful guitar theme, but appears frustratingly fleetingly (twice, each time lasting less than a minute). Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ll moan about the album, which is awful. This version here, which I own, has 31 tracks spread over its 50 minutes, presented presumably in film order. There is almost endless repetition, frequently successive tracks are pretty much indistinguishable (there are ten tracks called “Faccia a Faccia”), and as a listening experience, it just doesn’t work – I much preferred the original 30-minute album. (Frighteningly, there has since been an even longer album released!) So the best thing to do is probably to simply program the original album running order from this and enjoy the vastly superior sound. It’s easily a four-star listening experience then; as it stands, the album is probably a two-star listening experience, so I will enter the numbers two and four into my complicated star rating averaging algorithm and see what comes out.
