J. Martin reviewed Ennio Morricone by Ennio Morricone
A Thoroughly Enchanting Conversation
5 stars
A conversation between Ennio Morricone and Alessandro De Rosa, two highly educated, perceptive, and sensitive composers, whose wide breath of topics is matched by each topic’s depth of detail and insight. Whether you come for Morricone’s biography, or the stories behind his “applied” (cinema) and “absolute” music, or the history and art of composing for the cinema, or the techniques of scoring and producing, or Morricone’s compositional techniques beyond theme, or his compositional methods from serialism and beyond, this conversation will touch upon it sooner or later in highly rewarding ways.
