Editorial Reviews

2003 Digitally Remastered Reissue of One of Ennio Morricone's Most Stirring and Most Beloved Soundtrack Compositions. While it was Technically Released in the USA in the 1980's, Supplies of the Disc were Quite Scarce, Prompting Collectors to Value it as Something Rare. It also Introduced the Sound of Gheorghe Zamfir's Panflute to the Rest of the World, Creating an Entire New Audience for his Career. This Edition is Plentiful and Includes Four Tracks Not on the Original.

For more than twenty years now, I've been listening to this haunting music and it has never dulled. Revisiting it now, in my forties, I find it overwhelmingly sad....tracks #2 "Poverty" and #3 "Deborah's Theme" crystallize what I think is the theme of the movie: how a group of young people coming of age just when the country itself is coming into its own can, like the leadership of the country, make choices that impact the rest of their lives. Can they....can the country...find redemption? Like great fiction, and, many would say, like the movie, it has different meanings as you listen to it at different stages in your own life. I call that music for the ages. This one will be regarding as a classic long after my generation has left the earth.

Of all the soundtracks I own, this is probably the best. Morricone's skills and talent are evident on this CD. The information in the included leaflet give even more insight into the filming and composing of this classic film.

You will not go wrong with this album. Every track is a masterpiece. If you loved the movie, you must have the accompanying soundtrack. I've had it for 15 years and when the mood strikes, there is nothing like it. Now, this version also comes with a few unreleased tracks. You can't lose!
