Quartet Records, in collaboration with GDM and Universal Music Publishing Italy, presents a remastered reissue of Ennio Morricone’s score for STATO INTERESSANTE, a 1977 comedy-drama by Sergio Nasca. This is a thoughtful and unconventional film that explores the experiences of three women confronting pregnancy, motherhood and the changing social realities of contemporary Italy. Balancing intimate character study with broader social observation, the film reflects the evolving cultural landscape of the late 1970s through a sensitive and deeply human perspective.

Ennio Morricone composed a lyrical and emotionally nuanced score in his mature style. Far removed from the experimental edge of many of his contemporary works, the music combines delicate orchestral writing with graceful thematic development and a profound sense of emotional intimacy. The score unfolds with elegance and restraint, perfectly capturing the hopes, uncertainties and personal struggles experienced by the film’s protagonists.

Although STATO INTERESSANTE is less widely known than many of Morricone’s celebrated masterpieces, this release offers listeners the opportunity to rediscover a hidden gem from one of cinema’s greatest musical voices.

Originally produced by Claudio Fuiano and Dániel Winkler and presented from the best available stereo sources carefully mastered by Chris Malone, this edition restores the full beauty of Morricone’s score, allowing collectors and admirers alike to appreciate a work that deserves recognition among the composer’s finest dramatic achievements of the 1970s. The package includes in-depth liner notes by Miguel Ángel Ordóñez.
