„Una Donna Da Ricordare“ (Ennio Morricone, 1971)
„Maddalena“ Jerzy Kawalerowicz: „A Woman To Remember“ (1971)

JON PARELES „The Maestro of Spaghetti Westerns Takes a Bow“ (January 28, 2007): “ … Maestro Morricone is a flinty, pragmatic character, but one who marvels at what he called „the strange miracle of music“. He looked like a bespectacled businessman, wearing a sport jacket, dark trousers, white shirt and tie. He greeted any generalizations about his work with a shrug, or a terse, „That is up to the audience to decide“. But through the years he has created music that is as memorable as the films it accompanies, and sometimes more so. … His extensive background in classical music can be heard in his swelling love themes and in his meticulous orchestrations, which can suggest the stateliness of the 18th century or the eerie dissonances of the 20th. Unlike younger film composers who create their music as studio recordings rather than manuscripts, or who hand off their themes for others to arrange, Mr. Morricone writes full scores and conducts them himself. … His approach, he said, reflects his education and his era. „I have studied the expressive methods of the entire history of musical composition“, he said. „At times I turn more toward light music, at times I turn more toward serious music. I mingle things, and sometimes I turn into a chameleon. We are living in a modern world, and in contemporary music the central fact is contamination, not the contamination of disease but the contamination of musical styles. If you find this in me, that is good“. …“ | http://www.nytimes.com/2007/01/28/arts/music/28pare.html?pagewanted=all&_r=0
