Spotlight customer reviews: Customer Rating: Summary: divine music and divine performance Comment: I have grown up listening to Morricone's music, and I have always found it intensely moving, from the spaghetti western to the maybe less well known - outside Italy anyway - but equally epic scores for "Moses", "Secret of the Sahara" and "Marco Polo". Combine it with Yo-Yo Ma's exquisite cello and you have a recipe for moving me to tears. Truly divine music from two masters of their art. Customer Rating: Summary: A thing of beauty Comment: I was quite ignorant of Ennio Morricones work, Thanks to this album I now appreciate what a great composer he is. Worth buying for the segments from 'The Mission' I always picture Jermy Irons strapped to a cross cascading down a waterfall, there is so much more to admire on this album. Beautiful music, beautifully played. Customer Rating: Summary: A Work of Art & Beauty Comment: This is probably one of the best records I've ever heard in my life, Morricone's music blended with YO-YO MA's feeling is something that will always be bigger than your expectations. The compositions in this record can easily be one of the best works from any generation. Morricone man can bring tears into your eyes faster than taking an onion and squeeze it into your eyes... the music has so much passion, silence, melody and rhythm that words can't get anywhere near to what this music will do to you. Customer Rating: Summary: "Irena Tully, Impulse Productions" Comment: One of the great film music composers, Ennio Morricone, and one of the best cello players in the world, Yo-Yo Ma, have joined their refined forces to record this album. The power and the beauty of the music is mind-blowing and Yo-Yo Ma's performance is astonishing. There is a mixture of gentle and emotional tracks beside some high-energy numbers. Altogether, this is a remarkable musical & artistic feast for anyone who wants to recall some eminent movies while listening to this music, or just enjoy and explore the wide range of emotions. Either way, one is always inspired by this album. Customer Rating: Summary: Moving Music Comment: On recent visit to USA visiting our family my son played this album. Once upon a time in America literally stopped me in my tracks. Stunning musicianship and interpretation moved me to tears on the first hearing. Morricone's music captured magnificently. Compelling listening. Unforgettable. Simple words cannot adequately describe the wonder of this album More Reviews
