About this Artist

Editorial Reviews

Few viewers are able to resist the charms of Cinema Paradiso, the coming-of-age tale that captured the Academy Award for Best Foreign Film in 1989. Celebrated composer Ennio Morricone's score captures the gentle-natured, nostalgic feel of the film masterfully. From the graceful title theme (which is revisited within most of the compositions) to the wistful "Visit to the Cinema" to the majestic "From American Sex Appeal to the First Fellini Film," Morricone manages to set the mood perfectly and unobtrusively. The orchestral score complements while it adds depth and subtle color to every scene. Andrea Morricone contributes the lovely "Love Theme," a sweeping piece of music incorporating flute and summarizing the entire proceedings. The soundtrack to Cinema Paradiso is another exceptional work from Morricone and the perfect souvenir to the film. Tom Demalon, All Music Guide

November 23, 2005: If you haven't seen the movie yet, run don't walk to your nearest video rental place and do so! Morricone's music is so perfectly woven throughout this movie it feels as if it were a character of it's own. The music swoons as it expresses youth, first love, and most of nostalgia in all it's variations on a theme. The music alone will have you tearing up and thinking of your own long lost first love. Magnifico! Bravo Morricone! PSIf you love this then you must get the soundtrack to "Il Postino" in which, in addition to the amazing score, celebrities such as Andy Garcia, Wesley Snipes and Madonna lend their voices to read Pablo Neruda's poetry over Morricone's music. Fantastic!
