Plays Ennio Morricone - Yo-Yo Ma

We DO all love Ennio Morricone!

Advantages: Great tribute to a great composer.
Disadvantages: Not suitable to anyone who isn't familiar with Morricone's music.

I think the title of this album should be considered a solid fact. We do all love Ennio Morricone! He's easily one of the best composers of recent times, and hundreds of films would be lost without his music. Despite not giving a full picture of Morricone's work, i think this is still a great tribute album. The fact that artists from Celine Dion, to Bruce Springsteen, to Metallica, ahve come forward to pay their tributes shows the extent to which Morricone has touched the world. I found out about this tribute from the Metallica website when they announced they'd recorded their own version of "Ecstasy Of Gold", and I immediately bought it. Ecstasy of Gold, and Bruce Springsteen's "Once Upon A Time In The West" are my favourite tracks on the album, but they all have their strengths. At that, I wouldn't say that any of the artists ...

Review of We All Love Ennio Morricone - Various Artists

If you know Morricone do not purchase this

Advantages: A good intro to Morricone's work
Disadvantages: Is it really his most significant work? "the very best"?

Like most compilations, this is a slanted album that shows just the most popular (rather than "the very best") of Maestro Morricone. How dangerous it is to reduce such a prolific composer to one single CD! Certainly a good intro for someone who doesn't know anything about him, but still in that case, I´d rather listen to a complete soundtrack of his. If you are a Morricone fan, you would agree that Morricone's eclectic spirit could suit any music lover... yet this album cannot offer an eclectic picture of his genious. Please take a look in online databases at his filmography and you'll find over 500 soundtracks. He has virtually touched every style of music except for rap (or am I wrong?). Fundamentaly Morricone is all about emotions. Thus his work is varied and eclectic as an unfolding life that nurtures itself from ...

Review of Very Best Of Ennio Morricone, The - Ennio Morricone

Revolving Cheese and a Yo-Yo

Advantages: Heights and Sights
Disadvantages: Price is twice

the One Langham Place Shopping Mall, an actual 10 story shopping mall with big brands like Nike and Adidas shops, L?Occitane, the unfeasibly expensive soap shop, alongside electrical outlets and a shop that for 50GBP would make a miniature cartoony model of you, after a 3 day wait for manufacture all attached to the hotel by a glass bridge ? how posh does a hotel have to be before a souvenir shop or two just won?t do anymore?. We had no time to explore these things now though as, in case you forgot, it was my 30th Birthday on this day of diverse transport (Car to Maglev to Aeroplane to *shudder* Bus) and after corking the complementary champagne and polishing off most of the posh looking but not-so-posh tasting complementary chocolates, plus a doomed and short-lived play on the mysteriously complementary hotel branded Yo-Yo, we headed down ...
