Book Musik 004 - "Ennio Morricone: In His Own Words"

Tosh & Kimley discuss "Ennio Morricone: In His Own Words"
(Ennio Morricone in conversation with Alessandro De Rosa.) The
great Italian composer whose music everyone knows even if they
don’t know his name has scored literally hundreds of films, first
gaining fame for his scores for the spaghetti westerns of Sergio
Leone ("A Fistful of Dollars," "For a Few Dollars More," "The Good,
the Bad & the Ugly") and then working with a who’s who of
Italian directors (Pier Paolo Pasolini, Bernardo Bertolucci,
Giuseppe Tornatore to name a few) and eventually getting noticed by
Hollywood and beyond. Terrence Malick, Brian de Palma, Pedro
Almodóvar, and Quentin Tarantino have all been lucky enough to have
an Ennio Morricone score for their films. His IMDB page currently
lists 519 composer credits! And that does not include his
incredible output of “Absolute Music” and his work with the Gruppo
di Improvvisazione Nuova Consonanza where things get really
interesting.
