I saw that. Yes i think dolce and gabbana have used Ecstasy before, among other brands. When you are in italy and tv is on, you hear bursts of Ennio stuff on lots of adverts, gameshows, all sorts.

Thanks milan - i think Hue and his brother were too busy starting the singing of happy birthday to keep recording!
Previously we have seen a track listing where Happy birthday Ennio was given a track number, havent we! I loved that the clarinet and bassoon guys started accompanying the crowd spontaneously and the rest of orchestra joined in. Brill moment.

Seemed appropriate to put this in here in an ennio thread. Maybe old news to some but i found out long-standing Morriconian David Bunn died last year. Id know his name for years although never met him. Lived in the west country, huge Ennio collector since LP days. I seem to recall seeing his posts on the old Michael Caletka ennio board. Dont know if he had a moniker here. Im sure Henry, Gary, Laurent, Addie, Didier and one or two of our older Ennio fans know the name. Perhaps if anyone knew him better they could tell us more. Rip david.

Some Morricone news, just published -- good to see he is still active.

Thanks for this info. Google translated version...
You can not say no to the pope. The Italian composer Ennio Morricone, who celebrated his 91st birthday on 10th November and said he did not want to conduct any more, changed his mind. He will conduct the Christmas Concert 2020 in the Audience Hall Nervi in ??the Vatican.
"I just could not say no," said Morricone in an interview with the Roman newspaper "Il Messaggero" (Saturday edition). The Roman Maestro is busy at the moment. So he composed a piece that his son Andrea will conduct in early 2020 at a concert on Milan Cathedral Square. At the same time he wrote music for a TV commercial.
Morricone no longer composes film music, which has made him world famous. He now devotes himself entirely to concert music. Throughout his career, the Roman collaborated with world-renowned directors such as Roman Polanski, Oliver Stone and Margarethe von Trotta. But he has also composed classical music and television tunes.
In 2007, Morricone crowned his career with an Oscar for his life's work, having previously given up hope for the coveted trophy. Five times, the Italian had been nominated, but ended up empty-handed. In 2016, at the age of 87, he received the first Oscar for his film music for Quentin Tarantino's Western "The Hateful Eight".
