Spectacular western movies, and moments to remember from and with Maestro Morricone himself. Since 1961, Morricone has composed over 400 scores for cinema and television, as well as over 100 classical works. He was not only well known for iconic western soundtracks but also for the film music for socially critical films and spheric movies like “Cinema Paradiso”, “The desert of the Tartars” and “The Working Class Goes to Heaven”. Ennio Morricone was interested in a variety of things and socially committed. Morricone cannot be reduced to Western music as he surely is one of the most successful composers of all time.

This concert from 2004 with the Münchner Rundfunkorchester is one of the very few recordings where he conducts his own music. It has been the first public appearance of the Maestro conducting his own music in Germany and is now available on all DSPs and physically for the first time ever on CD. The album contains a representative collection of his most famous film music including The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, A Fistful of Dynamite, Once Upon a Time in America, Cinema Paradiso, The Untouchables and many more.
