Did we ever get the outcome of that? Incidentally, Marty Whelan on Rté Lyric FM interviewed him a few weeks ago about his upcoming concert in Dublin.    Posted:   Jan 24, 2019 - 1:46 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) I tried to get an interview when he gets here on Monday, but to no avail. Thats coz i wrote to him in italian and told him all about you, i explained you werent really an ennio fan but you were jumping on the bandwagon as he was in the neighbourhood and that you thought john williams was better! Ha, ha. Damn! When I got a negative response from the organizer, I actually spoke to the Italian Culture Institute here in Oslo (with which I've collaborated before) to hear if they had anything planned. They said they had tried, but that he would just be in Oslo for the time required and nothing more. And I can understand him. Oslo is freezing, with snow and ice everywhere, and that's not good for 90-year-old joints!    Posted:   Jan 25, 2019 - 12:47 AM     By:   keky   (Member) Keki, like Mathias I’d like to know what changes were exactly brought into the programme compared to previous concerts such as Paris or Brussels in November 2018. If he kicked off with THE UNTOUCHABLES, NOVECENTO and included the lengthy OSTINATO RICERCARE, I guess he had to eliminate the whole FOGLI SPARSI suite from the 1st part and then segued straight into NOSTROMO and The Leone suite, did he? Thanks in advance. I don't know about the 2018 concerts in Paris or Brussels but here's a setlist of what we heard: The Untouchables - The Strength of the Righteous The Red Tent – The Dreams Go On The Red Tent – They’re Alive The Red Tent – Others Who Will Follow Us 1900 – Olmo e Alfredo 1900 – Romanzo Tie Me Up! Tie Me Down! – Suite Ostinato Ricercare per in’immagine Nostromo – Nostromo The Man with the Harmonica The Good, the Bad and the Ugly -The Fortress The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - Main Title The Good, the Bad and the Ugly - The Ecstasy of Gold The Hateful Eight – Stage Coach to Red Rock La Luz Prodigiosa The Battle of Algiers Sacco e Vanzetti Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion Sostiene Pereira The Working Class Goes to Heaven Casualties of War Queimada – Abolicao The Mission – Gabriel’s Oboe The Mission – The Falls The Mission – On Earth as it is in Heaven Encores: Cinema Paradiso – Cinema Paradiso Cinema Paradiso – Love Theme Queimada - Abolicao The Mission – On Earth as it is in Heaven    Posted:   Jan 25, 2019 - 6:10 AM     By:   Mathias   (Member) Keki, like Mathias I’d like to know what changes were exactly brought into the programme compared to previous concerts such as Paris or Brussels in November 2018.

Nice programme even though I feel that the previous one like in Paris was as a whole better balanced. Indeed, I don't deem the lengthy OSTINATO as interesting enough to be featured, especially if it's the 12' version I know. Besides, the FOGLI SPARSI suite is a must, although Morricone didn't play MADDALENA and LE CLAN DES SICILIENS in his last venues and replaced them by two tracks from BAARIA. The inconvenient of the Budapest programme lies therefore in my opinion in the absence of Chi mai and METTI UNA SERA A CENA. Of course the beautiful main / love theme from ATAME / LEGAMI makes up a bit for it but still... And if I had to find an inconvenient in Paris, it's the absence of The strength of the righteous from THE UNTOUCHABLES. It's rather difficult to please everyone's taste to say the least...    Posted:   Jan 25, 2019 - 8:48 AM     By:   keky   (Member) Thanks Keky.

He played Chi Mai, Baaria and Metti una sera a cena in 2016 in Budapest. (I missed the 2017 concert so I don't know what were played then.) I must say I really enjoyed Ostinato. Believe it or not, I hadn't even known about it before. So for me it was one of the highlights of the evening. Also, hearing Romanzo from 1900 live was unforgettable. The four concerts I had attended before also didn't include Nostromo, so it was another new experience for me. The second part of the concert with The Hateful Eight and the quite lengthy Social Cinema segment was a bit more difficult listen for most, but I didn't mind because he chose the more musical parts from both The Battle of Algiers and Working Class Goes to Heaven. Also, he included Queimada, La Luz Prodigiosa, Pereira and Casualties of War in that segment, making it quite melodic and varied. I agree with you: Morricone has written so many great scores it is impossible to choose 20-30 pieces to satisfy every member of the audience.    Posted:   Jan 25, 2019 - 12:40 PM     By:   Mathias   (Member) Yes, we all have different tastes. I am very happy that Ostinato is part of the programme. I could be without The Untouchables. I was really looking forward to the main theme from Baaria, but Novecento will be a great substitute. I am not that familiar with Legami. I have a theme on a love theme compilation and that´s all. I don´t like jazz and It is a jazzy score, isn´t it? The best part of the Fogli Sparsi section used to be Come Maddalena in my opinion. I understand that the Social Cinema part gives a more varied concert although many pieces don´t suit my taste.    Posted:   Jan 25, 2019 - 1:55 PM     By:   Milan NS   (Member) Looking forward to reading reviews from Thor, Mathias and everyone else. Have a great time!    Posted:   Jan 25, 2019 - 3:24 PM     By:   First Breath   (Member) Oslo is freezing, with snow and ice everywhere, and that's not good for 90-year-old joints! LOL, I can almost see it, good old Ennio shuffling his feet through the icey winter streets of Oslo...on his way to meet Thor The Interviewer. It could indeed be the last thing he did.    Posted:   Jan 25, 2019 - 3:37 PM     By:   Thor   (Member) That would have been something for the history books, for sure. But alas....    Posted:   Jan 25, 2019 - 3:53 PM     By:   Dorian   (Member) The Prague concert was great! As always. The playlist was exactly the same as above except for a slightly different encores: Encores: Cinema Paradiso – Cinema Paradiso Cinema Paradiso – Love Theme The Good, the Bad and the Ugly – The Ecstasy of Gold Queimada – Abolicao Novecento suite was one of the highlights for me and indeed a big surprise to hear in a concert. I missed two of my favorites from the regular concert set, H2S and Metti Una Sera A Cena. I should be able to find the playlist from the 2017 Prague concert if there is any wish for comparison. By the way, looking at the playlist, where are the re-issues/expansions of TIE ME UP! TIE ME DOWN! and SOSTIENE PEREIRA?    Posted:   Jan 26, 2019 - 2:51 AM     By:   Mathias   (Member) Looking forward to reading reviews from Thor, Mathias and everyone else. Have a great time! Thank you very much! :-) Tonight there is a concert called "The best of Morricone" played by the Milano Festival Opera at Göteborgs konserthus (consert house) in my hometown Göteborg (Gothenburg) in the west of Sweden. I will visit that concert and travel to Stockholm yesterday for the concert there. So it will be a lot of Morricone concerts this weekend. The setlists seem to be quite different in the two concerts.    Posted:   Jan 26, 2019 - 11:44 AM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Listening to classic fm's film score programme tonight - the classic fm top 300 tunes, ennio has only 1 entry. Scandalous!!! Unsurprisingly its Gabriel's Oboe.    Posted:   Jan 27, 2019 - 1:29 AM     By:   Mathias   (Member) The concert last night was wonderful. It was very emotional to see parts of the films and lovely pictures with the beautiful music playing. The concert exceeded my expectations.    Posted:   Jan 28, 2019 - 1:56 PM     By:   knisper.shayan   (Member) for our german speaking members: https://www.kultur-port.de/index.php/blog/musik/15449-ennio-morricone-farewell-tour-2019.html    Posted:   Jan 28, 2019 - 2:12 PM     By:   Thomas   (Member) Listening to classic fm's film score programme tonight - the classic fm top 300 tunes, ennio has only 1 entry.

Let me guess - LOTR was No 1?    Posted:   Jan 28, 2019 - 11:56 PM     By:   Bill Carson, Earl of Poncey   (Member) Quite possibly thomas i didnt wait to find out. They do play it a lot Perhaps its the only CD theyve got!    Posted:   Jan 30, 2019 - 9:59 AM     By:   Thor   (Member) Here's my review (in English) of his Oslo concert two days ago: http://celluloidtunes.no/ennio-morricone-in-oslo/    Posted:   Jan 30, 2019 - 10:20 AM     By:   Milan NS   (Member) "Curiously, the harmonica that plays so famously throughout Once Upon a Time in the West (1968) seems prerecorded; there is no evidence of any solo performers onstage." - nah, it was just a bad camera work (when I saw the concert in Budapest 2016, they showed the female flute player!), the harmonica player can be clearly seen in videos from other concerts; for instance here - skip to last 10 seconds of this Paris 2017 video:    Posted:   Jan 30, 2019 - 11:17 AM     By:   Thomas   (Member) Here's my review (in English) of his Oslo concert two days ago: http://celluloidtunes.no/ennio-morricone-in-oslo/ Fine review Thor. Disappointing to read about the venue though. Surprised you weren't familiar with The Red Tent, one of Morricone's greatest themes in my opinion.     General Discussion: MORRICONE - the farewell - 90th birthday concert    << < 1 2 3  > >>  Go to page:  1 2 3   First Post    General Discussion • Trading Post • Non-Film Score Discussion  Profile • Preferences • Community Rules • Help/Contact • Search Board You must log in or register to post.   Go to page:  1 2 3
