More Morricone

"More Morricone", a tribute to Ennio Morricone recorded last year in septembre 2019 at the Studio de Meudon (France).

Ennio Morricone is a film music composer like no other. His compositions stand out for one reason: one often has the feeling that the film for which the music was composed is a visual illustration of such music, rather than the opposite. On this matter Pierre Darmon, who conceived this tribute album, recalls the time when he

discovered Morricone: "I used to spend my summer vacation in Viareggio, which is one of the most beautiful seaside resorts in Tuscany. One evening in August 1972 my uncle took me to the open air cinema in Lido di Camaiore. We watched "A Fistful Of Dynamite" by Sergio Leone. I was 13 years old and beyond this superb film I remember having experienced one of my first musical shocks, my first encounter with the music of a sacred monster, Ennio Morricone."
