Includes liner notes by Jerry McCulley.
Whittling the output of a composer with approximately 500 soundtracks to his credit down to two CDs rules out the possibility of a truly definitive career retrospective. Still, with 45 tracks spanning the mid-'60s to the early '90s, this is the best Morricone compilation of its sort available, though Film Music Vol. 1 & 2 certainly have a lot of worthwhile material. Disc one is dominated by highlights from the '60s soundtracks, particularly the spaghetti Westerns, that remain his most famous; disc two is more eclectic, with a greater concentration of both his orchestral works and compositions utilizing a greater variety of electronic instruments, although the hints of electro-pop and Europop on some of the tracks can be aggravating. Comes with an excellent 36-page booklet of biographical liner notes. ~ Richie Unterberger
Editorial Reviews
...includes the kitschy twang of his spaghetti Western scores, experimental textures, bittersweet melodies, and lush romanticism....an adventure in lovable campiness and stylistic sweep. Hundreds of scores into the game, he's still going strong. - Rating: A
