Product Description
From Amazon.com
One of the most lyrical western movie scores from one of the all-time greatest movie westerns. Unlike the slightly more cartoonish music (in the Raymond Scott sense) for Sergio Leone's earlier "Man With No Name" westerns starring Clint Eastwood (Fistful of Dollars, For a Few Dollars More, The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly), Once Upon A Time in the West is epic in scope and elegiac in tone. Composer Ennio Morricone uses a haunting, wordless female vocal on the main theme (and in the equally beautiful soundtrack for Leone's companion gangster epic, Once Upon A Time in America, many years later) that sends chills down your spine and may even bring tears to your eyes. --Jim Emerson

This is such a wonderful soundtrack. It is full of such beautiful music some of it slightly haunting. I discovered this soundtrack when my boyfriend was watching the film. I was working on our laptop and not watching the film but each time a piece of music came on, it made me stop in my tracks and look up. This has not happened to me before and it surprised me that I was so captivated by what I was hearing. The 'finale' really is an amazing piece of music. Go to Amazon.com to hear samples of the CD.

On time, perfect condition and most importantly, its the real deal - dont fall for the fake remakes - this was genuine with the actual tracks from the film, and at a good price. If its too cheap its for a reason.

Having bought the marvellous original soundtrack for "Once Upon a Time in America" I was reminded of how much I loved the soundtrack for "Once Upon a Time in the West" and Morricone's music in general, so bought this album.
It is as good as I remembered and expected although I could not recall ever hearing track 4 ("The Transgression") in the movie. My only disappointment is, with a running time of less than 40 minutes, the album is a tad short, but it is still worth buying and great value - definitely worth 5 stars.

The original score !
This is the original score which made the film into the classic that it has become. Hauntingly beautiful music. In my opinion, Morricone's best work. Beware imitations!
