Ennio Morricone to perform Film Soundtracks in London

Morricone is the legendary Italian composer noted for his film scores,
particularly the Spaghetti Westerns like ‘Fistful Of Dollars’, ‘For A Few Dollars More’
and ‘The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly’.

Ennio Morricone will return to London in April to perform his Classic Film Soundtracks
as part of the 5th anniversary of ATP Concerts' Don't Look Back season.

Born in 1928, Morricone has composed the score for over 400 films and TV productions,
making him the most prolific composers of all time in this field.
Amazingly, despite being known for his spaghetti western themes,
these account for just 30 of his works.
He was also responsible for the music accompanying ‘Cinema Paradiso’, ‘Lolita’,
‘The Untouchables’ and ‘The Mission’.

He is one of just two composers to be awarded an honorary Oscar
for lifetime achievements. In all, he’s been nominated four times for
Oscars, including for ‘Bugsy’ in 1992.



Metallica have used ‘Ecstacy Of Gold’ from ‘The Good, The Bad And The Ugly’
as an intro tape since 1983 and even lent their own version to 2007’s tribute album
‘We All Love Ennio Morricone’.
