Synopsis

Album Description

A composer whose name is synonymous with all that is good about film music, Ennio Morricone has had a revolutionary impact on the way films are scored, especially in his most celebrated genre: the spaghetti western. Born November 10, 1928 in Rome, young Morricone studied at the Santa Cecilia Conservatory, where he became an accomplished trumpeter.

CD Reviews

Fine compilation, arranged by the Master himself

Chris Cathcart | Portland, OR USA | 11/25/2005

(5 out of 5 stars)

"It seems that no one compilation captures all that's great about a musician, but this is probably the best Morricone compilation yet put out there. Morricone took several of his most beautiful film scores and arranged them for these performances, many of them for chamber-music formats. The standard Once Upon a Time themes are here, along with Gabriel's Oboe, Cinema Paradiso, and a gorgeous new arrangement from the Lolita soundtrack. Other greats to which I was introduced here include "Metti, Una Sera a Cena," "Rampage," and "Romanza." Even inadequate 30-second samples give a glimpse into the great beauty of these works. Disc 1 actually is the same as another Milan release, "Ennio Morricone: Film Music," but for a few dollars more (heh heh) you can get a fuller overview and further glimpse into his musicality on disc 2. Highly commendable."
