A REVIEW
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------

-platinum-collection/
As most people know, Ennio Morricone is one of the most widely praised and
admired composers of film scores of all time. He first came to the attention of
many American morriconemovie watchers with his score for Sergio Leone’s “The
Good, The Bad and the Ugly” which starred Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef, and Eli
Wallach in the title roles. The main theme of “The Good, The Bad and the Ugly”
featuring the whistling of Alessandro Alessandroni is thought to be one of the
two or three most recognizable movie themes ever written. The more than 400
film and TV scores that Morricone composed and arranged include “The Mission”,
“Once Upon a Time in America”, ”Once Upon a Time in the West”, “For a Fistful of
Dollars”, “For a Few Dollars More”, “Cinema Paradiso”, and “La Cage Aux Folles”
. Music from all of these films and more is included on “The Platinum
Collection”.
It’s remarkable how the musical signature that is often used to evoke the
romanticized historical American west is the sound of Morricone’s film scores
for the “spaghetti Westerns” directed by Segio Leone and others such as Clint
Eastwood’s dollars trilogy and “Once Upon a Time in the West”. Alt country and
indie rock groups who write songs that are sometimes described as “widescreen”
such as Calexico are usually riffing on Morricone’s ideas.
“The Platinum Collection” is a three CD set that includes 60 tracks taken from
Morricone’s film scores. All of his well known themes are here and the
collection often includes more than one theme from a film. In particular, three
tracks from Morricone’s award-winning score for “The Mission” are included (”The
Mission”, “Gabriel’s Oboe” and “The Falls”). The material is not arranged
chronologically or by film so that listeners who want to hear just the tracks
from a particular movie will have to jump around over the three CDs to do so.
This can be a royal pain in the ass but it has the benefit of encouraging you to
play each of the three CDs. Familiar themes appear on each disc and you will
discover many other tracks from films you may not be familiar with that you
enjoy as much as the ones you know. Listeners who only want the music from one
or two films can buy the individual soundtracks.
As far as I now, “The Platinum Collection” is only available in the US as an
import on a German label. The copy I have only includes a brief listing of
tracks with copyright info by way of written material. And it’s in Italian
which I don’t read. No matter, though, the music speaks for itself.
When you think about it, “speaking for itself”, is a good characteristic for
film music to have because many times the music in a film must speak for a
character, a time, a place, or a situation by conveying complex emotional
information in a brief yet memorable way. Morricone is a master at this and
many of the tracks on “The Platinum Collection” speak eloquently indeed.
There’s a reason why Morricone is so widely admired and that reason is on full
display across these three discs.

IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ (A REQUEST)
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
It's usual to post comments only to attack a torrent which doesn't work in your
configuration. It's normal, after a few hours/days downloading and expecting a
release, to feel deceived if it doesn't work properly, and expressing this is
legitimate.
I've often found one comment (negative) on a movie/CD downloaded by 2000+
people, and since that single negative feedback, people simply stop downloading
and therefore, sharing. But a few times it was due not to the torrent itself,
but to some issues on the downloader side (not updated codecs, misused
tools...), and that's unfair for the person who took the time to share it for
free.
IF YOU FIND THIS RELEASE DESERVES TO BE RECOMMENDED TO OTHERS, HELP BY DROPPING
A LINE AFTER YOU'VE CHECKED IT. This way, You'll help in keeping the torrent
alive, almost as much as keeping it in your HDD until a 1:1 ratio is
reached.
Thanks
