"BELLISSIMA! Probably the greatest composer in film, Ennio Morricone is best known for other soundtracks including Once Upon a Time in the West, The Good, The Bad, and the Ugly, Cinema Paradiso, and The Untouchables. His best soundtracks have rarely been considered for the Oscars, but La tenda rossa (misspelled in Amazon.com as of this writing, aka The Red Tent) and C'era una volta il west (aka, Once Upon a Time in the West) are his finest and among the best soundtracks ever composed. Inspiring, beautiful, and elegant, this CD flows with viola soloist Dino Asciolla and Edda Dell'Orso (I suspect but she is not listed in credits) who has that famous wordless soprano voice. The first seven tracks seem hauntingly not of this world but of one we can only dream about. A must have for anyone who appreciates beautiful music."
