Ennio Morricone. The Man Behind the Music

Description

One of the most celebrated composers in international cinema, Ennio Morricone has written scores for more than 400 classic and contemporary films. In this timeless program, Morricone describes how he got his start in show business, the challenges of composing for film, and his experiences working with big-name directors and musicians. Directors Brian De Palma and Bernardo Bertolucci, producer David Puttnam, and many others offer insights into Morricone's genius for composition-scoring, conducting, and mixing his own soundtracks-and his lifelong fascination with music and sound. Scenes from numerous films, including Oscar-nominee The Mission, provide vivid examples of his art in action.
