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

5Yo-Yo plays Morricone  Apr 17, 2009
I was a little concerned about this purchase, but was pleasantly surprised at both the music and the quality of sound on this CD. Very highly recommended!
Spaghetti Western music with a classical twist.

5YoYo  Apr 09, 2009
It doesn't matter what you buy by this cellist, this guy is the greatest. I kept one CD and gave the other to another YoYo admirer. YoYo is terrific!!!

5Superb Performance  Apr 03, 2009
I can't say enough about this wonderful instrumental. What an accomplishment! The music of Yo-Yo Ma has captured my artist heart. A great accompaniment for my work at the easel. I never tire of listening to the sweet/at times haunting sounds. I thank you,YO-Yo Ma, for your God given talent...your beautiful music. I highly recommend this CD,"Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone."
