yes hunting party always a fave of mine. and i once sat in a cinema with tape recorder on my lap to get this score.
Quite a rarely screened and notoriously gory film, from memory beyond the brilliant main theme (heard in the clip above) there wasnt enough music for a full score - unless there is a lot of unused music on the tapes i would imagine it would be perfect for a few tracks on the end of another score maybe?.

Have read before that Ortolani was hard to deal with.
This is interesting to read about. I'm curious about the number of releases of genre soundtracks this year by composers such as Trovajoli and Ortolani and wonder if there is a reason for them coming onto CDs after their composers' deaths.
Perhaps while they were alive they did not wish to see themselves associated with low-brow flicks?
I was wondering the same thing. Someone from the labels once said that the estate from one major composer was difficult to deal with although I am not sure who it could be. Clearly there isn't any major composer that has been left out in recent years, although it is also clear that the Lavagnino, Savina, de Masi, and Piccioni estates are the most friendly (in addition to living composers like Cipriani, Frizzi and Micalizzi). For Trovajoli, we haven't got much "private" tapes but perhaps they don't exist and his unreleased works are not particularly famous or within the typical genres, so I suspect the labels simply do not think there is a urge to release them. For Ortolani, however, there are at least 25 works on LP/7" that are unreleased, and probably many CAM tapes, so I also wonder why he is the major composer with the most "missing" soundtracks.

The Ortolani family has given approval for 2 more soundtracks by Ortolani on one Digitmovies CD:
Yet another disc of Ortolani appears before 2014's year end.

"Finally, thanks to the approval of the Ortolani family, it was possible to make the CD."

From what I read, the Umiliani estate is also very supportive of Piero U.'s music & albums.
As for the estate posing difficulty, could this perhaps be the one for Mario Nascimbene?
Might other possibilities include the estates for A. Cicognini, G. Fusco, R. Nicolosi, B. Nicolai, C. Rustichelli or G. Marinuzzi jr.?

Regarding Riz Ortolani, I like some of his music but he is rather hit-or-miss for me.
We are in agreement, Dorian. Ortolani is more 'miss' than 'hit' with me; I have yet to own an Ortolani soundtrack that mesmerizes me.
I've listened to DANZA MACABRA more times than any other Ortolani album I have, but I would rate it overall as a 3-star score.
Recently, I got the Digitmovies disc on Ortolani's early score for the 1961 peplum URSUS NELLA VALLE DEI LEONI and this is, to date, my favorite Ortolani (and yet, his URSUS is still not a 4-star masterpiece with me).
