Ricordare

Artists from around the world perform songs by the celebrated Italian maestro.
This edition in Ace Records’ highly regarded Songwriter series is devoted to celebrated Italian film soundtrack maestro Ennio Morricone. Few composers can rival the diversity, magnitude and huge influence of his work. In addition to the 500-plus motion pictures Morricone has scored, he has arranged, conducted or written popular hits records, supplied the music for many television series and composed at least 100 classical pieces, which he describes as “absolute music”. While he is best known for his orchestral or instrumental recordings, many of his film soundtracks include actual songs. It’s songs on which this collection focuses.
