In a press release, Morricone talked about singing with Decca:

After the success of The Hateful Eight score, I’m delighted to be returning to Decca with my own record deal—an extraordinary moment in my 60th professional anniversary year. It’s been a wonderful experience to be able to conduct my scores and to record these with the Czech National Symphony Orchestra. The quality of their performance of my work is truly outstanding.
