Free Music Review: "Blue-Ribbon performances by Morricone & Yo-Yo Ma"
Hit: 5 Stars

Sony Classical presents another "film-score-buffs" dream come true "Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone", featuring two of most popular musician and composer on this planet...wonderful concept as two gentlemen completely mesmerize the listening audience ~ remember the music world lost three legendary composers Elmer Bernstein, Jerry Goldsmith and David Raksin all in a short period of time...so why not bring to the forefront Ennio Morricone with some of his greatest and memorable suites and film themes.

Celebrate the career of indelible musical impressions courtesy of the most renowned film score composer of our time Ennio Morricone [conductor], Yo-Yo Ma [cello], Gilda Butta [piano] and Roma Sinfonietta Orchestra...each cue released into six film and director categories by "The Mission", "Giusppe Tornatore Suite", "Sergio Leone Suite", "Brian De Palma Suite", "Moses and Marco Polo Suite" and "The Lady Caliph"...Maestro Morricone creates visual moods for each film he scores, Yo-Yo Ma taps into each track with brilliant performances that will leave you spellbound.

Ennio Morricone was born in Rome on October 11, 1928...attended the Santa Cecilia Conservatory...worked in various jazz bands, later a staff arranger and composer...an orchestrator in the '50s...scored films in the early '60s, then the WESTERNS and his name became a household word in the film industry...all in all Yo-Yo Ma has done magnificent job in bringing the music of a composer who wrote for over 250 films, receiving recognition from the industry and fans which was long over-due ~ his work is in constant demand, scoring a half dozen films as year...well worth a five star rating review!

This collection contains an overlay of each cue in Morricone's distinctive style of legendary scoring ~ Yo-Yo Ma made this possible with the blessing of Sony Classical...enriched and fullfilling for all the "film-score-buffs", but still craving more of the same, just the way we like 'em!

Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone Poster

Ennio Morricone is well-known to moviegoers. His soundtracks for The Mission, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in America, Cinema Paradiso, and others are invariably warmly melodic and superbly suited to the films they grace. They not only add atmosphere; they help tell the story. For this CD Morricone has created new orchestrations for many of his scores, adding a solo cello part for the indefatigable Yo-Yo Ma, whose musical curiosity seems to be endless. Outside the films, these pieces tend to be lovely melodies, mostly pretty sentimental stuff, and, in the best way, gorgeous aural wallpaper. The most moving are the two selections from The Mission, but fans of Morricone's music will find plenty to enjoy here. Ma's playing, as always, is exquisite---warm, deeply felt (given the circumstances), and entirely idiomatic within the context. Perhaps not quite for the classical music lover, but an affectionate reworking of music by an important film composer. --Robert Levine
