Editorial Reviews

Three CD collection featuring some of the finest music composed by the legendary Ennio Morricone, recent recipient of the Lifetime Achievement Oscar at the 2007 Academy Awards. Features 60 tracks from his early 'spaghetti westerns' to Hollywood blockbusters like The Mission. A stunning, emotional musical trip that can stand on it's own without the listener ever having seen any of the films these tracks were composed for. EMI.

5.0 out of 5 stars Pure Majestic Morricone Musical Magic, January 19, 2010

This is an outstanding collection of Maestro Morricone's finest musical themes. From his legendary Spaghetti westerns to other classic Cinema genres he flow effortlessly from emotion to emotion like the 21st Century movie Mozart he is.
I recommend this to anyone who enjoys great Cinema music like I do. Some of my favorite works were music I'd never heard before but that I wished was a little longer in time so I could relish the spell he casts.
A great value for two CDs of great music.

All of his great works are in here, and all are of great quality. I was left in awe to learn of all of his works, sadly I only learned after hearing his movie scores. He is so very much more, and this edition proves it.

I'm not a fan of western movies, my husband is. But I had to admit the music is awesome, classic but everybody knows it.
