Upcoming Edda Dell'Orso Tour
Edda Sabatini (born February 16, 1935), known as Edda Dell'Orso,[a] is an Italian singer known for her collaboration with composer Ennio Morricone, for whom she provided wordless vocals to a large number of his film scores.[1] A soprano with a three-octave range,[2] Dell'Orso also provided vocals to scores of other Italian composers such as Bruno Nicolai, Piero Piccioni, Luis Bacalov and Roberto Pregadio. She was born in Genoa. In Morricone's film scores of the original Spaghetti Westerns directed by Sergio Leone, her dramatic voice was deployed as an instrument for the first time and to revolutionary effect,[3] such as in A Fistful of Dollars, The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly (in particular for "The Ecstasy of Gold" track) and Once Upon a Time in the West.
