Well, yes, Morricone was already a size after Leone's films (by the way, it is not clear why the best film composer of the 20th century was ignored by the American Film Academy, we will only award him an honorary Oscar already in the 21st century ... This is nonsense ... Well, or is there some kind of conflict, which is unknown to us yet It’s more strange to me that why did they invite Zatsepin to the film at all, they could perfectly use Morricone’s music in the Soviet box office, especially since this is quite logical, since the main lyrical musical theme is the love of a Swede and an Italian ... "Thank God" that the film did not take the "Oscar", then it would definitely be a shame to the composer "second")) As for the "waltz", .. I really love Morricone, I was at the concert of his orchestra in 2007 - this is a delight ... But I do not like all of his works, due to my musical preferences ... As the size of the waltz suits me , lyrical music, not symphonic ... Well, if a bel canto is added there, like in "For a Fistful of Dynamite" or "Once in the Wild West" ... I can listen and watch endlessly ... Separately there is the theme of "Harmonics" from "Once Upon a Time in the Wild West", a scene of Bronson's duel with the Fund - it's brilliant But the favorite melody forever is the theme from Death Among Icebergs. I watched the film dozens of times ... And the music from it always makes me cry ... Well, in the fatal processing, it's generally magic (for me personally) Here's the guitar version

WooHoo, you know a lot about this guy. In the early days of owning my first ever HIFI system with CD player, I purchased this Live recording on CD (https://www.discogs.com/Ennio-Morricone-Live/master/424059) which I listened to a whole lot. Whenever I heard something else of him, I seemed to return to this CD. I have no idea if this one belongs to one of his best. Maybe quality doesn't have to do anything with my choices, but more like this was the first Ennio CD I owned. I remember a family friends lend me another CD with studio recordings of all his western movie music when I just got my HIFI system, quickly followed by the purchase of my goto album.
Since a few years, my CD player is stored, and dont seem to listen too much Morricone anymore. Have the Godfather and Once Upon a Time in America soundtracks in my favourite list. Wasn't able to find my goto CD on Spotify though. Seems someone spammed Spotify since he past away; Gazillion albums uploaded in 2020.
Sorry for the amendment, but "The Godfather" is still Nino Rota)) Although Roth has my favorite sound for Zefirelli's film "Romeo and Juliet" And I have a compact Morricone always at hand)) Sorry for the quality, filmed the laptop

Thanks for the correction. What do I know then hahaha... I lived for a long time in the wrong universe when it comes to the Godfather. The good thing: I tasked myself to check out Nino Rota since I never don that in my life, and the soundtrack I really love.
Thats really cool! A booklet and all. Also a live session 🎶🙃
