Spaghetti Western Playlist

Is this different from your Ennio Morricone playlist?

Spaghetti, macaroni, Morricone, let's get pasta that!

I cannelloni imagine where this will lead.

It's always leads to down in the gutter, O Krafty one!

It is indeed - Morricone has many of his other soundtracks (like The Mission)

Spaghetti Western playlist has songs from fun flicks like 10,000 Dollars for a Massacre, Ringo Comes to Fight and Sabata (with Lee Van Cleef) by other composers (true there's tons of Morricone on too)

Of course. The Mission and Cinema Paradiso are two of my favorite soundtracks.

I think we've discussed this before.

It's been awhile, tho'.

Carl Seemann, Dietrich Fischer-Dieskau, NDR Symphony Orchestra (Hans Schmidt-Isserstedt, cond.) - Fortner: The Creation, Mouvements (comp. 1954-5, rec. 1958)

Wolfgang Fortner's music can be as difficult to comprehend as his life story. His advocacy of "New Music" between the wars earned him the label "Cultural Bolshevik" from the Nazis. Yet he became director of the Hitler Youth Orchestra before being drafted into the army. After WWII, having been safely "denazified", Fortner went right back to teaching and creating angular masterpieces like this pair.

Canadian Brass ~ Echo: Glory of Gabrieli (2009)



Along with several works from Gabrieli, this disc contains the Suite from Monteverdi's L'Orfeo.

It's more enjoyable than I figured it would be.
