His music is never merely didactic but inherently narrative and digs much deeper than a sequence of frames could.” The album contains 14 tracks that correspond to a selection of 14 themes written by Ennio Morricone in his long and prolific musical career: Love Theme, from Nuovo Cinema Paradiso Gabriel's Oboe, from The Mission La Califfa Love Affair Main Theme, from Nuovo Cinema Paradiso Playing Love, from The Legend Of 1900, ft Mauro Di Domenico Come Romeo e Giulietta, from La Cosa Buffa Un amico, from Revolver Deborah's Theme (solo), from Once Upon a Time in America Infanzia e Maturità, from Nuovo Cinema Paradiso Once Upon a Time in America Il Clan Dei Siciliani Questa Specie di Amore Rabbia e Tarantella, from Inglorious Basterds Read a full review of the album in Italian, English and French languages here: 2023Danese For details email: info@organetto.info |
