I couldn't find an actual thread for this film or score (there was a 1900 aka Novecento thread or two).
Anyway. I recently bought this CD after viewing the opening title sequence in another thread.
The music spoke to me in the way certain other Morricone titles have.
I can blow a bit hot and cold with Morricone scores, but the ones I like, I REALLY LIKE!
The copy that arrived is only the original Sony 57 minute edition (although it was a Japanese pressing, which is nice). TG had indicated that the expanded release contained some impressive missing music from the film.
After a quick blast through, I already adore the lengthy opening titles cue (The Legend Of The Pianist), plus track 9 (Child), 12 (2nd Crisis), 15 (Before The End), 19 (Silent Goodbye) and 20 (Ships and Snow). I also love track 1 (1900's Theme), but will reposition that at the end cos it's a much better finale track. The song is okay, but Roger Waters' limited singing abilities doesn't suit the melody for me (which is strange, cos I usually enjoy Waters' Pink Floyd songs).
So, another lovely EM score added to my collection.
What do others think (and how's the film...worth a watch?).

I don't really know Thomas.
In the other thread (where I discovered the music) TG mentioned another version with a scherzo track that was very memorable.

Wonderful score kev. Great film you will enjoy too.
And have a listen/must see to all the tornatore/ennio films - from malena to cinema p, his most fruitful and complimentary partnership since Leone.

... I'm a bit kinder about "Lost Boys Calling" than Mitch - and in the event that Thor is a Roger Waters completionist, he needs to know that there are different versions of the track on the two releases.
Now that does surprise me (no, not the bit about you being less unkind ...  ): different versions on the two releases? I can't check as I sold the first first copy when I upgraded to the expanded release. However www.chimai.com suggests that the song featured on both releases, as well as on the compilation album We All Love Ennio Morricone, are the same.
Certainly I found - and do find - the song rather brain-numbing so did not distinguish the two recordings. At least on the compilation album it is not the least-interesting performance.

It seems the two versions are from a three hour cut and a two hour cut of the film from 1998 and 1999. In the second one the words to the song were slightly amended from first to third person (or vice versa, can't recall off the top of my head) and a more prominent guitar solo from van Halen. It's a song that I like for lots of reasons, not least the particularly moving line "you never took us fishing, Dad, and now you never will" which resonates strongly with me. It might look like doggerel and indeed could be in the wrong hands, but with Waters's gruff and slightly nasal delivery and a perfect Morricone melody it's a piece of gold.
