The initial effort in what's become an ongoing collaboration between filmmaker Giuseppe Tornatore and composer Ennio Morricone (in this instance assisted by his son Andrea) remains one of the Italian musician's most internationally beloved works. The bittersweet tale of a young boy's friendship with the local cinema projectionist and the profound, almost magical influence the movies have on both their lives won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes and the Best Foreign Film Oscar, and netted Morricone a BAFTA (U.K. equivalent of the Oscar) for Best Score. In the late '90s, the music also received one of America's other great "honors"--it was adapted for a car commercial! The score is among Morricone's most elegant and memorably melodic, effectively evoking a rich cinematic legacy; it's a virtual musical love letter to the power of films and their music.

European pressing of the soundtrack to the classic 1984 film, with music from the legendary master Ennio Morricone, features exclusive artwork. Acqu.
| Lovely but repetitive | 2010-02-14 | 3 / 5 |

| Wonderful music but the lovely theme is developed repetitiously --- not a lot of variation here. Once you hear the theme, you hear it again and again and again. |

Ennio Morricone's music is Classic and will live on. It is the perfect complement to a truly GREAT film.
It is never tiring and I listen to this daily! |

JUST BEAUTIFUL! There are several lovely themes. Ennio Morricone is
truly a gifted composer for film music. This soundtrack comes very
close to comparison with his work for the film: Legend of 1900. I'm
happy to say that I now own both soundtracks. This man's music comes
from the heart. Just sit and listen......it is enthralling. |
| A Great Soundtrack | 2007-11-22 | 5 / 5 |

| This is a great soundtrack, with a haunting melody that weaves throughout the various tracks. Ennio Morricone has produced a masterpiece. |

| I adore the music of Ennio Morricone in any shape or form. I prefer his more emotional soundtracks like "The Good,The Bad, and The Ugly" and "The Mission." This CD has its moments but not enough to suit my tastes. I've never seen this film but knowing Morricone and his mastery of musical emotionality I don't believe this movie would have been my cup of tea. It is still Morricone the Maestro of the movie soundtrack just a little weak in spots for me. For a audio delight buy the Ennio Morricone Anthology a truly great listen. |
