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

 Excellent Performance, Excellent Recording Quality August 18, 2010
D. Sangree (Austin, Tx USA)
This album is stunning. In my opinion it is a must buy.
Pros:
>Excellent arrangement with absolutely stunning dynamic control.
>Masterful recording, mixing and mastering. One of the best sounding classical CDs I own.
>The accompanying ensemble is TOP NOTCH!
>Yo-Yo was just having a really good day and you can feel his emotion in the music. I know that isn't a quantitative argument, but it is true.
Cons:
I thought about this for a while and all I could come up with is maybe it is missing a solo track?
Really I can't come up with anything bad about it.
Best Buy EVER !!!! August 2, 2010

This collaboration is genius. A beautiful CD compilation you will enjoy and share for many years to come.
Perfect Combination July 28, 2010
Fable (The Garden State)
Morricone's amazing compositions and Ma's sensitive cello interpretations are the perfect combination. The film scores stand on their own played by an orchestra, but it is Yo Yo Ma's beautiful cello that takes them to the next level.

This is my most favorite CD. I loved the movie, "The Mission" and especially Gabriel's Oboe! I just wish it was longer. The whole CD is wonderful. Such feeling!
