Thanks Peter, I'm going to enjoy watching this again.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Timmer, be aware that I edited my last post. It turned out the documentary was incomplete. It stopped after clip 4, which is quite the bummer.

I own the Italian tv documentary La Musica Negli Occhi. It's a film well edited film including clips from various films and, if I remember correctly, some footage of Morricone recording a score. But I would not recommend this film to anyone; there's practically nothing special about it.

Of course, i didn't take it seriously. I was just kidding.

The Maestro has turned 81 today! Incredible! I wish him good health and many more amazing scores! -

Buon compleanno, Maestro! I'm sure you still have at least 15 more years of hard work in you. Keep up the great work.

Just watched "Morricone Conducts Morricone" on the tv, a recording of a 2004 concert in Munich (performing the usual stuff) mixed with an interview. Very enjoyable. -

An interview? Which DVD is this? I have this one and there's no interview in it.
Oops. Never mind. Didn't notice that you said TV. -

BAARIA
Any thoughts on this new score by Maestro Ennio Morricone? Does anyone have this score? I am quite unfortunate that i am not able to find this score in any nearby music stores. However, i am waiting for it to come to my city. As of now, i read some positive reviews about this score. I am curious to know about the thoughts and opinions of Maintitles members.

I like it. Not a classic, but I like it a lot. There's some very strong material. You will probably have to order an import from Italy (or one of the soundtrack specialists in the US) - the Italian releases of Morricone scores don't seem to find their way around the world very well. -

A lot of us have it and we've been talking about it in the now playing thread, Sunil. The score is simply beautiful, sweepingly melodic and romantic like only Ennio can deliver these days. Along with AGORA and DISTRICT 9, my favorite scores of the year so far.Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders. -

Hmm, must hear District 9 if you like it that much. -

I like "Baaria" alot, though it's darker than I expected it to be. It has some great sweeping, heartwarming and nostalgic themes, plus a wonderful, upbeat march (similar to his famous piece "Anger and tarantella"). I rate it ****½.

As far as an infectous theme is concerned I certainly have to cast a vote for 5 Man Army.

Listening to Baaria now for a second time, what a great CD. I don't have many Morricone CDs at all so I bought this one for that reason - of course also on the strength of the film's trailer music and the Amazon.com mistake (got it real cheap ). It's really great, and it's also a very warm and lush recording so that's a plus, too.
But why did they put dialogue in that first track? I thought that was more an American phenomenon... -

The 5-Man Army score really has the addicting themes.

Thanks Tom. I really enjoyed this too (reviewed it here: http://www.movie-wave.net/titles/5_man_army.html). -

That's really saddening me for not included the 5 men army in Ennio Morricone: The Platinum Collection. OMG! am i having the perfect collection?Racism, Prejudices and discrimination exists everywhere. -

There is no perfect collection! There's a world of exploration awaiting you, though, as you get various full scores. -
- CommentTimeNov 19th 2009
Oh! yeah, you are absolutely right, Southall! in this world, there is no perfection. In fact, we have to eradicate the word "perfection" from dictionary itself. I know that philosophy behind that. However, i am quite satisfied with that collection.

I agree with James that there is no perfect collection. All the more so if we speak about Morricone. Even if the collection includes one or two tracks from a certain soundtrack, you can be sure that there are at least another 3-4 brilliant pieces on that same soundtrack that is missing from the collection.
Collecting Morricone is not an easy task but a very fulfilling one. -

Do you have many Morricone scores yet Sunil? I mean full score CD's.On Friday I ate a lot of dust and appeared orange near the end of the day ~ Bregt -

Full score CDs of Morricone? Whoa, let's not scare the guy! -
- CommentTimeNov 19th 2009
Morricone was certainly prolific and starting with a nice compilation and then expanding to the soundtracks is a good way to go forward.

I am listening to this now. My goodness, what a lovely opening! Lovely strings and haunting Mideastern-esque male vocals. Why on Earth did they have to add sound effects and dialogue towards the end?! Listening to the second track now, very classic Morricone with a little Kamen influence. Great stuff!
