Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone
Performer: Gilda Buttà
Orchestra: Roma Sinfonietta
Conductor: Ennio Morricone
Composer: Ennio Morricone, Ennio / Tommasi, Amedeo Morricone
Label: Sony
Description:
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
