Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

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) in Sergio Leone's "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

5.0 out of 5 stars A modern classic, 8 Oct 2000
By A Customer
Although I have owned this album on vinyl for almost 30 years I still never get tired of listening to it and have finally bought the CD in order to preserve the original. Even after listening to it for so long the main theme can still make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up ....never have I encountered such haunting and beautiful music. Even if you have never seen the movie this CD will reach parts of you that no other soundtrack can. Morricone is truly a master of his art.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Haunting Music Score, 17 April 2003
By E. A. Redfearn "eredfearn2" (Middlesbrough) - See all my reviews
(TOP 50 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)      
Film scores have been evolving since the days of Erich Wolfgang Korngold who along with Max Steiner and Franz Waxman, composed much of the finest music for films from the 1930s onwards. Ennio Morricone made his name quite a few years ago now with the emergence of the so-called "Sphagetti" western from the mid 1960s, culminating in the classic "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". This is Morricone at his best though. The music is beautiful and haunting. A long film even by Sergio Leone's standards, the music itself holds the film together, particularly in the slow scenes where nothing much seems to happen. I first heard this score many years ago even before I saw the film, and it remains one of my favourites. If you like movie scores which sound "symphonic" in its scope, then you must give this a try. Be prepared for a listening experience.
