4.0 out of 5 stars Great soundtrack, but if you want the full version..., May 13, 2003

This review is from: The Legend Of 1900: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This "Legend of 1900" Soundtrack isn't the version with the entire soundtrack on it. Some of the best pieces weren't included in this non-Italian version, which has 29 songs. It's missing (among others) "Magic Waltz" (the song he plays for his seasick friend with the waves crashing outside) and "Enduring Movement" (the piece that won the contest with Jelly Roll Morton).

Go to intermezzomedia.com. Once there, you'll have to search by Composer for "Morricone", and scan through the many pages of his until you get to "La Leggenda del Pianista sull'Oceano".

The company is from Italy but the site has English (as well as their confirmation emails). If you decide to buy it, the e-commerce bank they use for purchases is all in Italian, so I'd suggest going to freetranslation.com - that site does a decent job of translating the Italian phrases you enter into English. I bought from Intermezzomedia and didn't have any problems, got the CD just a few days later (using FedEx, which was a bit expensive but nice to have the tracking capabilities). The Italian version is awesome. I would NOT recommend buying the U.S. version...sorry Amazon but you really should also sell the Italian one.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great, but look for the foreign version also, May 9, 2002

This review is from: The Legend Of 1900: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This CD has most of the good solo piano songs from the movie on it. Unfortunately, it is missing some great ones. These include: Tarantella in 3rd Class, Enduring Movement (the song that wins the contest), Magic Waltz, and Portraits (when he makes up themes for individuals to his friend). The import version from Italy does contain these songs, but it is very hard to find. Also, it's almost twice as much when you do find it. So, if you're looking for all the solos, and are willing to pay more for it, look around on the net and you'll find it...

This review is from: The Legend Of 1900: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack (Audio CD)

This soundtrack is absolutely incredible! However, I just wanted to put a word in about the Italian version. I found the 29-track version while I was in Italy this past summer. I was ecstatic! I bought it and listened to it every chance I could get. It is well worth the amount on the site refrenced to in another review. I highly recommend making the purchase. You'll be glad you did!
