Ennio Morricone in Mexico
By noticias • May 22nd, 2008 • Category: EVENTOS & NOTICIAS
The Italian composer Ennio Morricone (1928) will show on May 27 at 20:30 pm, at the “Auditorio Nacional” in Mexico City. interpreting his film scores with the Rome Symphony Orchestra.
Morricone, awarded the Honorary Oscar last year for his distinguished career, is perhaps the best composer who has managed to incorporate orchestral music to the movies. He has worked with great directors like Pasolini, Tornatore, Bertolucci, Palma, Almodovar….
Morricone’s music, far from being a mere accompaniment, a prelude or reinforcement of the images, has offered us a beautiful synthesis of the general tone of the films that has musicalized, themes which can reflect the fabric and style of the films. Who does not remember the moving music of Cinema Paradiso and Malena? How many times has the theme of The Good, the Bad and the Ugly been covered? Or the urban music of The untouchables? Definitely this concert is a great opportunity to relive those great coruscations in music and images that have walked hand by hand.

Me declaro fanatico de este señor. Todos los musicos que componen para cine son musicos que admiro. Philip Glass (dando toques minimalistas para solo reforsar las actuaciones), John Williams (manejando la composicion wagneriana con un tema por personaje), Alberto Iglesias (me gusta como abarca musicas tradicionales que hacen perfecta armonia con los contextos de las escenas). Michael Galasso (que temazo para In the Mood for Love). Y claro esta que no voy a dejar pasar al indiscutible Yann Tiersen (Amelie, Good Bye Lennin). Lastima que no voy a estar este verano en México.
