Agreed, not bad at all.
Certainly is better than ennio live. Both the gbu theme and ecstasy of gold.
Somebody who did the orchestration certainly did their homework on how it should sound.
Nice that they did - correctly - two different singers for ecstasy.
And the lady doing the alessendroni wah wah wahs didnt make a bad fist of it.
Good find Mathias.
I liked the eastwood in poncho backdrop and even better - the dummy being hung from the ceiling! Superb.

Yes and that she was dressed for the part, and not in jeans and t shirt? Remarkable stroke of luck. Sign her up!

YES! I have spent all my life going to concerts done by my favorite composers and they all had one thing in common. They all believed that the concert hall was a different animal and watered down their music to fit that medium. John Williams, Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, Henry Mancini, Lalo Schifrin, David Grusin, Maurice Jarre, Georges Delerue, Johnny Mandel and a ton of others altered their music to various degrees beyond the constraints of a given orchestra. And that goes for what evidence we have from Miklos Rozsa and Bernard Herrmann. Not that any of them gave bad concerts but, as I said, watered down ones. So I have looked for other conductors to go to extra lengths to adhere to the idiosyncrasies of film music that makes it stand out. Among them David Newman, John Mauceri, William Stromberg, Thomas Wilkins, Steven Allen Fox and others have made efforts to move given arrangements toward the original sound and, man, am I grateful.
It is lovely to add Sarah Hicks to that list.
Great!

I'd be very happy if i went to a concert and that version was played. Wasn't expecting something so well done.
I wish they'd do Jaws. The concert version i heard at a John Williams music concert in Manchester in December was absolutely atrocious (though most everything else was great).

I ran across this last week. It's not the sort of thing you expect to be done so well live.

I agree with this completely. And Williams has done it not only with his own music, but also (to my dismay) others such as Bernard Herrmann. I remember David Newman conducted one Sunday night at the Hollywood Bowl after Williams had done a different concert program the previous two nights. Among David's choices was to do the entire opening sequence of Raiders of the Lost Ark live to film, and I found that so much more fantastically exciting than Williams's same old pop excerpts from the same score the previous evening.

Good points henry. I know i was really really lucky to attend the Allesandroni leone concert in castelfranco and they were the best live renditions of ennios western themes id ever seen. Historically some of it was posted on youtube. This one cuts the mustard though..
