An audiophile-grade LP transfer for evocative transcriptions of hits from the Ennio Morricone catalogue of classic film scores.For his own selection of highlights from Ennio Morricone's music, Enea Leone has arranged the themes from the Leone/Eastwood 'dollar' trilogy (inevitably finishing with The Good, The Bad and the Ugly) alongside no less definitive westerns as Once Upon a Time in the West and Once Upon a Time in America. He has also ventured into the film composer's later career, with the unforgettable theme from The Mission, starring Jeremy Irons, and a four-movement suite from La leggenda del pianista sull'oceano, a 1998 romance directed by Giuseppe Tornatore, in which a baby boy discovered on an ocean liner in 1900 grows into a musical prodigy, never setting foot on land. With it's subtle pastiche of Mozart and long-limbed Romantic melodies, this score lends itself to Leone's sensitive transcription for guitar.Enea Leone has enjoyed a 20-year career as a performer and teacher and made several well-received recordings for Brilliant Classics such as the complete studies by Fernando Sor (94791), which attracted a glowing review from Classics Today: 'These pieces are both technically beneficial and musically rewarding, and Milan-born guitarist Enea Leone's suave execution, keen ear for tone colour, and steady yet flexible rhythmic sense befit the music.' Another album of studies by Castelnuovo-Tedesco drew this praise from Fanfare magazine: 'Adding to a strong recommendation for the music itself is the beautiful playing on a lovely, mellow-sounding guitar by master guitarist Enea Leone.' This LP transfer of the original 2020 album is accompanied by full sleeve notes.- The LP version of one of the beautiful recordings in the Brilliant Classics catalogue, Morricone's greatest film-scores arranged for solo guitar.- Ennio Morricone (1928-2020) is without doubt the most successful, popular and influential composer of film music of the 20th century. He wrote over 400 film scores which received numerous International Awards, including Grammy Awards.- This new recording presents arrangements for guitar of his most iconic melodies from the films Once Upon A Time in The West, A Fistful of Dollars, The Mission, Inglorious Basterds and many more.- Played by Enea Leone, a pupil of the great Alirio Diaz, who already recorded for Brilliant Classics works by Castelnuovo-(Appunti, BC 95219), Sor (Complete Studies for Guitar, BC94791) and, with bandoneonist Roberto Bongianino, Music from Argentina (BC95527) (with bandoneonist Roberto Bongianino).
