The Best of Ennio Morricone: Original Soundtrack Collection

(Piano). The great Italian film composer Ennio Morricone first came on the scene with soundracks for Sergio Leone's "spaghetti westerns," including A Fistful of Dollars and The Good, the Bad and the Ugly . Though his career has been primarily in Italian films, he has also composed distinctive, sophisticated scores for such American films as Once Upon a Time in America, Bugsy, Mission, In the Line of Fire and The Untouchables . This collection of 22 piano solos from 17 movies is a great introduction to Morricone's work, or a rare serving of some of the greatest movie music for the film buff. The companion CD has actual recordings from the film scores of the featured selections.
