I bagged this CD as part of a recent order I did with Quartet, spurred on by their sale.
As others have said, what truly beautiful music.
Like Correspondence, the first track is lovely but can be a bit repetitive, although at least it's only 9 minutes and not 14 (like the Correspondence cue).
There's a nice diversity to this score, with some slight suspense/sneaking around music and a lovely nostalgia-styled track featuring harmonica/accordion(?).
But from track 7 til track 10, Morricone just batters the hell out of your heart and soul with some of the most gorgeous music to be heard in film today.
There were literally tears in my eyes in work today, while I listened to those last 4 tracks, on my CD Walkman.
With Morricone and Williams still writing film music, we are truly blessed indeed.

Great to read this Kev! I also got EN MAI FAIS CE QUI'L TE PLAIT in the wonderful Quartet Sale, but haven't listened to it yet. As regards Mr. Morricone's score for Correspondence, I absolutely love the first two tracks, I'm not too keen on the rest of it, but boy those first two tracks really hit the spot with me!

Hope you enjoy it Niall.
As one of the reviews say above, it's nothing new under the sun as regards Morricone music, but just like you would buy an album by REM and not want it to sound like Coldplay, that's a major part of the charm.

Very well said Kev! For the multitude of us who love his music and have been following his career and film scores right from the mid 60s, and even more recently, we know (more or less, lol) what to expect, and I personally am happy with that. He really is a great composer, and great man to keep up the pace and high standards that he does.
