Ennio Morricone is well-known to moviegoers. His soundtracks for The Mission, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in America, Cinema Paradiso, and others are invariably warmly melodic and superbly suited to the films they grace. They not only add atmosphere; they help tell the story. For this CD Morricone has created new orchestrations for many of his scores, adding a solo cello part for the indefatigable Yo-Yo Ma, whose musical curiosity seems to be endless. Outside the films, these pieces tend to be lovely melodies, mostly pretty sentimental stuff, and, in the best way, gorgeous aural wallpaper. The most moving are the two selections from The Mission, but fans of Morricone's music will find plenty to enjoy here. Ma's playing, as always, is exquisite---warm, deeply felt (given the circumstances), and entirely idiomatic within the context. Perhaps not quite for the classical music lover, but an affectionate reworking of music by an important film composer. --Robert Levine

 Fantastic! March 11, 2010
Rocky (USA)
This CD by Yo-Yo-Ma is fantastic. Lots of energy in the music. The movie themes are great, love it!
Praise for an unknown composer March 9, 2010
F. Talbott Barnidge (Valdosta, GA)
I first heard Mr. Morricone's theme from the movie "The Mission", was awe-struck by it. Such beautiful music! Searched for the entire movie music and found this one which showed Yo-Yo Ma's super accompaniment to all of Mr. Morricone's selections. This will be treasured!
If you like Morricone, this is a must have March 1, 2010
Jason M. Lind
I fell in love with Ennio Morricone's music when I saw the Mission twenty years ago and have been a fan ever since. Mr. Ma does an excellent job putting his stamp on the music, while not dominating it. Truly a beautiful work of music and a must own if you are a fan of Mr. Morricone's work.
another masterpiece from Yo Yo Ma February 12, 2010
JRay (Wisconsin)
I can't get enough of Yo Yo Ma. I am not offically addicted to his music, and he has alot of it out there. What beautiful music this is...I can't say that I recognize the scores but I love the music. The music is whimsical, soft, and flows so nicely from one piece to another. I will be going back to the downloads for more. I would highly recommend this cd for the classical or anyone looking for something more contemporary.
 Yo Yo Ma's playing is very passionate February 8, 2010
David H. Bean (Illinois)
Yo Yo Ma brings passion and musicianship to Morricone's music. This is a great CD for that wind down on the commute home from work.
