Ennio Morricone is one of the most famous and influential composers of the twentieth century! With over 500 film scores he has accompanied every conceivable musical genre. Morricone's innovative soundscapes for Sergio Leone's mid-sixties spaghetti westerns changed film music forever.
A combination of eclecticism, sensuality and playfulness. The arty erotica of Giuseppe Patroni Griffi's 'Metti, Una Sera a Cena' is perfectly complimented by Morricone's cool jazz score and his music gives humour and great beauty to such offbeat period pieces as 'Forza G' and 'Il Gatto' and the abstraction that is 'L'assoluto Naturale'. Arguably the most impressive of the set are the composer's scores for the early 'Argento Giallos', 'The Bird With The Crystal Plumage' and 'Four Flies on Grey Velvet'. In the former, Morricone's ominous, haunting music establishes an almost unbearable suspense and for the latter combines bracing atonality with a send up of progressive rock (the director's first experiment with such music and a prelude to Goblin)
