大师级作曲家恩尼奥·莫里康内的配乐与西方电影的理念齐头并进。莫里康内通常被认为是世界上在世的伟大的电影作曲家,广为人知的是他为《好、坏、丑》以及塞尔吉奥·莱昂内的其他电影《使命》、《天堂电影院》和近期的《八恶人》所做的创新配乐,莫里康内在过去60年里一直在重新塑造电影的声音。在Ennio Morricone: 在Ennio Morricone: In His OwnWords中,作曲家Ennio Morricone和Alessandro De Rosa对生活、音乐以及这两者之间奇妙而不可预测的接触和影响方式进行了长达数年的讨论。
Master composer Ennio Morricone's scores go hand-in-hand with the idea of the Western film. Often considered the world's greatest living film composer, and most widely known for his innovative scores to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly and the other Sergio Leone's movies, The Mission, Cinema Paradiso and more recently, The Hateful Eight, Morricone has spent the past 60 years reinventing the sound of cinema. In Ennio Morricone: In His OwnWords, composers Ennio Morricone and Alessandro De Rosa present a years-long discussion of life, music, and the marvelous and unpredictable ways that the two come into contact with and influence each other.
The result is what Morricone himself defines: "beyond a shadow of a doubt the best book ever written about me, the mostauthentic, the most detailed and well curated. The truest." Opening for the first time the door of his creative laboratory, Morricone offers an exhaustive and rich account of his life, from his early years of study to genre-defining collaborations with the most important Italian and international directors, including Leone, Bertolucci, Pasolini, Argento, Tornatore, Malick, Carpenter, Stone, Nichols, De Palma, Beatty, Levinson, Almodovar, Polanski and Tarantino. In the process, Morricone unveils the curious relationship that links music and imagesin cinema, as well as the creative urgency at the foundation of his experimentations with "absolute music".
Throughout these conversations with De Rosa, Morricone dispenses invaluable insights not only on composing but also on the broader process of adaptation and what it means to be human. As he remindsus, "Coming into contact with memories doesn't only entail the melancholy of something that slips away with time, but also looking forward, understanding who I am now. And who knows what else may still happen."
Ennio Morricone graduated in trumpet and composition from the Conservatorio di Santa Cecilia in Rome. Throughout his career, he mastered a wide range of musical expressions, first as an orchestrator and conductor in the recording industry, then as a composer for theater, radio, television, and cinema. He has composed over four hundred and fifty film scores and over a hundred absolute music works. He received an Academy Honorary Award in 2007 and won an Academy Award for Best Original Score in 2016, for The Hateful Eight by Quentin Tarantino.
