Marian Schedenig 8,172 Posted July 17, 2020 Share Posted July 17, 2020 Apparently, Rome is renaming its Auditorium Parco della Musica (according to Wikipedia the second most visited cultural music venue in the world) after Morricone: https://www.cinematographe.it/news/ennio-morricone-auditorium-parco-della-musica-intitolato-al-maestro/ My purely fragmentary Italian and Google Translate are not sufficient to confirm if "intitolare" means they're really *renaming* it or "only" dedicating it to him; perhaps @TownerFan can clarify.

It means "renaming". The previous name was "Auditorium Parco della Musica", the new name is "Auditorium Ennio Morricone". It is written a bit more explicitly here: https://www.ansa.it/sito/notizie/cultura/musica/2020/07/17/campidoglio-dice-si-lauditorium-si-chiamera-morricone_0a2922ce-3dc3-41d7-bc62-aea29e80ea57.html Marian Schedenig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 903 Posted July 21, 2020 Share Posted July 21, 2020 A Morricone concert was just announced in Seoul on August 1. I really didn't expect to attend a concert until way into the future, but with low Corona numbers here - around 50 a day throughout the whole country, I feel ok going. No word on the program yet:http://www.sac.or.kr/SacHome/perform/detailE?searchSeq=43571 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boreli 1 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 Hi, guys. I'm new here. I have a doubt: I listened yesterday the Fistful and Dollars More extended soundtracks from the Italian GDM record label, but I found both to have poor sound quality. Is it just me or the CD's really do have a bad music production? Many thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 7 stereo tracks were probably recorded separate, for the LP only. Films of that era were almost always mono releases. The scores themselves were often recorded on 3 tracks- then mixed down to mono. They didn't always save the three track masters, sadly.

Thor 7,463 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Since Morricone's passing this summer, my rather meager EM collection has exploded! Probably some 70-80 new titles in my iTunes (aided, in large part, by some friendly EM collectors on FSM and Maintitles), and sampling even more on streaming services. Guess I've listened to some 200 Morricones in total, that were unfamiliar to me before. And to think I still only own some 1/5th of his entire output. Anyone else had a Morricone resurgence after his passing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's still available at an affordable price. https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B00002470Q/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_image_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thor 7,463 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 Thanks, but I'm content with my shorter version with a nicer cover. I wasn't even aware the Italian version differed in content. But each Morricone score has so many soundtrack versions, with different covers, it's a jungle to get lost in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jurassic Shark 12,024 Posted September 30, 2020 Share Posted September 30, 2020 I did a comparison, and the original OST has some exclusive tracks that I consider essential. Shortly before the man's passing, I purchased this CD of arrangements for the guitar. As I've told you before, it's great! 5 minutes ago, Thor said: Thanks, but I'm content with my shorter version with a nicer cover. You shall not judge an OST by its cover!

No, it doesn't appear so. Just a coincidence. Sergio Leone only had two kids, AFAIK, Raffaella and Andrea. And they were both born in the 60s (Enea, no relation, was born in 1978): I don't mind a single instrument or solo instrument adaptations of 'bigger' pieces, like in this case. I don't know why it didn't connect with me. Perhaps the dynamic range, or virtuosity, wasn't pronounced enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Holko 9,499 Posted July 6, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted July 6, 2021 1 year has passed... we listened to a short 100-minute selection of his stuff on the Discord in remembrance. So many of his melodies have parts that can feel like they have a bittersweet tinge, you can flip a switch in your head from "hell yeah, let's go kick ass" to "play this at my funeral", so a lot of it fit the occasion. The brain that came up with all these iconic, gorgeous melodies, these instrumentations, these cheekily playful elements, that wrote 23 scores in a year twice, is rotting below the ground.
