Once upon a time in the west - Ennio Morricone (live in Cortona)

[wingtanks]

Verranno altri esseri da altri pianeti. Forse ci distruggeranno. Ma questa musica non potranno mai distruggerla. Piacerà anche a loro. Grazie Ennio, grazie

[Gablirik]

Hermosooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!

[crobilly19]

what a beautiful set.... the streets of Italy????

[snico]

Shame the orchestra over powered the vocal.....still brilliant!

[hennie23]

Its very beautiful, thanks for uploading this

[Jennarino00]

Bravo Carla Maffioletti

[steveg8r1]

When i first heard this music while watching the movie...i thought how odd to find such a soaring masterpiece in a dusty, dirty violent western....but since then i see how it really is a perfect fit. it captures all the hope and all the despair of a people trying to make their way in a desperate place and time. Amazing.

[mspepita]

Bravo! Carla maravilhosa voz.

[worldcoup]

the truth is an angel. All that separates Morricone from the greats is a couple of centuries.

[bossanova2jazsingers]

So warm, so lovely, the orchestra, the choir, the mass of strings, Carla Maffioletti's voice, & André Rieu's violin solo lifting the melody to ethereal heights. You can feel the audience's riveted attention and appreciation. I concur with the rest of the positive comments here and I thank you from my heart for posting this video.

[glifetto]

Grande Ennio, GRAZIE Ennio. Questa è l'Italia che vogliamo venga conosciuta nel mondo. Grazie.

Great Ennio, Ennio THANKS. This is Italy that we want to will be known in the the world. Thanks.

[QrtOpus1]

The marvellous movie about the end of The West as we know it (The ideas of Mr. Choochoo won out in the end) - and the marvellous music to put The West to rest!

[9waterfall9]

Fantastico!!!

[MattCorleone]

7 people are deaf

[EshkaronsEngine]

Now that I live in the West I live this music every day. OMG the Romance in my heart bellows forth from every orifice.

[bonaccca]

I can't STOP crying! Just like a baby! ENNIO, thank You for every note, you ever write!

[DRAMAQUEENCAT]

Also worth listening to is Patricia Janeckova [czechoslovakia got talent] 12 years old - absolutely stunning performance, pure vocals - amazing!

[sherbert500]

ennio is the only one that makes me close my eyes and takes me to another world with his music.......god bless him

[lovethediscogirls]

It still brings a tear to my eyes when Bronson says at the end of the movie, ""someday" and the sunlight hits his face as he walks out the door. What a haunting melody this song is. Morricone was is a genius..........!!!!!!!!!!! Probably one of , if not, the best western ever made.

[HeyMcmillan]

@lovethediscogirls

Yes, music by Enio coming from heaven in the film Once Upon a Time in the West, the masterpiece of Sergio Leone. Sergio told that 40 percent of a movie is made up by music; whatever the percentage in this case, the synergy of music and story is just fabulous. Bringing fantasy and dreams to our lifes.

[worldcoup]

@lovethediscogirls You have witnessed the light.

[lovethediscogirls]

What a priveledge this must have been for those in the audience. To actually hear the original music by the great Morricone and in Italy, where the movie was made. We don't get much of that here in America. All we seem to have is Justin Bieber, Lady Ga Ga, Brittney Spears and Celine Dion. Not much to choose from. What an outdoor setting for this concert. The Europeans have it right when it comes to certain music. I'd love to visit for a concert like this before I die !!!

[TheChinaRider]

@lovethediscogirls Nice comment. But as italian, i'd like to give you another prospective of America. Because I thought your same thoughts travellin' across Alabama and listening to John Lee Hooker :)

[MrAldahl]

Hochsztapler potworny!!!

[LiamK54321]

ennio's music is brought to emotional life here by Rieu and his orchestra .... brought tears to my eyes in the film and as the lady in this video does ..it brings a tear to my eye when i watch this ...

music as emotion is a wonderful thing ... thankyo eliasz1982 for this posting

[LINOCINO2]

grande  ennio morricone

[kimbo8501]

lo mas imprecionante que e visto ¡¡¡¡¡ y mis oidos cerraron mis hojos y calleron lagrimas ¡¡¡¡¡ gracias ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[scottmackeen]

They butchered it. The femal vocal should be much more prominent, and they did not capture the power of Morricone's crescendo at 1:55. The original is soul-stirring. This is merely adequate.

[fisichella78]

@scottmackeen Maestro!!!!!! You're a genius.....I'm sure you wld've captured it fabulous.....too bad you're stuck somewhere in Ohio eating pizza straight from the keyboard......

[jfrascati]

simply outstanding

[Jayen4]

Aah,so this is the original ?? Excellent music.......but have you heard 'Gattobus' version ??........Oh wow !  Awesome.....

[pedrofski]

There are certain times during your life when you see or hear something that you will never forget. This was a truly fantastic piece of music, beautifully performed. Peace to everyone.

[goofywilly]

what is it that causes "goosbumps" listening to certain music?? LOL!

[sharos1234]

My Goodness. THANK YOU.

[mickeytiler]

Oh my god this is amazing!!!!

[123agosto]

bellissimo, grazie

[narutofan9tf]

He also did the Godfather

[sexandgromit]

Beautiful. But I did chuckle when the soprano chick appears the first time. lol

[Rioghal10]

Thank you Ennio for making something so beautiful in my life time!!

[mixiepaddy]

Beautiful..

[mixiepaddy]

Beautiful..

[annrath]

tears for music for the first time in an age

[mikes1271]

K tomu není co dodat, kdo umí tak umí,

[MrConundrummer]

i know these two girls would reach the high notes better after a night with moi ...

[bad351w]

i dont know how he came up with souch a piece but wowAL ROGERS

[billoakesattablthree]

Ennio Morricone is a gift to the world - this piece touches the heart of the toughest -

[tubeMSGR72]

Music never corrupts. A corrupted world needs its music to find its soul. But music, all music, is above all and eternal.

[dcr1tch]

The music to the spaghetti westerns is excellent - and this composition stands with the classics - what a piece - I'm having this for my funeral ;)

Nice presentation - Andre and his orchestra are going on my 'must see list'...

[TreaserTeaser]

Outstanding!

[rieneetje1]

Mijn god wat een top muziekkanten.

ik heb met open mond gekeken.

En gelukkig is het ook nog een Limburger.

Ik vindt het zelfs beter dan het origineel.

Thats Live

[digiroad]

That is some of the most beautifull music I've ever heard!! It brings tears to the eyes.....It feels like Angels weeping, and somehow, a tribute to those brave men who made the West!" And to believe it took an Italian composer to speak for the heart of these men!

[capttheo1]

Gee, you can alllmost actually hear the singer! Since she's part of the song, it would have been really nice if they had actually put a mic anywhere near her.

[herne2]

@capttheo1 Its meant to be this way

[jen70]

i think i want to kill myself now..

[HuginnG]

@jen70 what? this is good music you douchebag!

[Jennarino00]

Bravo Ennio.

[De0rach]

Superb

[MATASEREANU]

JESUS !!!!!! IVEN THE EVIL STALIN WOULD CRIE LISTENING TO THIS ..... :O

[cdavmix522]

A hauntingly beautiful theme song. Everytime I hear it I think of all the brave people who went West with just a dream and a prayer. If you have not seen the movie for which it was written you should. It is a classic. One of the few film than Henry Fonda played the bad guy.

[skyjuke2006]

che brividi! goosebump!

[bonefaith]

suggestiva e commuovente , ennio è un genio .

[kcaviationltd]

BEAUTIFULLY HAUNTING MUSIC......SPEAKS TO YOUR SOUL.....AND YOUR HEART !

[JulUSN]

LOVE THIS SO MUCH! THANK YOU! 

BRAVO!

[0Myles0]

If you've never seen "Once Upon a Time in the West," go see it soon! Each of the four main characters has their own song... this song is for the widow McBain. Beautiful!

[1080tomas]

It is a magical.

[Jitiku]

so check this out....you wont be sorry...."

[7liisaa]

Ihana, loistava, suuremmoinen, amazing, gracias!!!

[schw33k]

excellent

[LekkerFilmen]

rieu really knows how to screw up and flatten good classical songs.

[trevorbaldwin1]

@LekkerFilmen what are you on about? i have only seen acouple of his performances and i think that he is a gifted player but then what do i know?

[cantiello73]

@LekkerFilmen why are you saying that????

[comeonfolks]

This makes me wanna go back in time....

[gusrooster]

Todo perfecto gracias a la música de Ennio Morricone...

[MrHDtom]

Why in C ? Is it the original tune??

[mmaybrown]

@MrHDtom Andre Rieu is playing in the original key. The original arrangement starts in C and modulates to Db, just like Andre has done here.

[CUTlVA]

This is amazing... this is the actual music i like , i hate the new kind of music it corrupts the world... everyone ones to be a ganster or a bad guy.. because of rap and that garbage music... amazing Ennio Morricone

[loswaldo666]

@CUTlVA

Couldn't agree more. How has it come to pass that it's become 'glamourous' to be a heartless street thug. Bring back some civilisation and respect for each other before it's too late.

[iownage4youi]

@CUTlVA 7 people here are part of it

[titoxungo]

@CUTlVA Yeah, the old time were better, when only Charles Bronson was a dangerous motherfucker, beautiful song.

[apmatrix2007]

@CUTlVA What a contradiction

His music is found on the soundtracks of Gangster movies and Westerns where violence prevails!. While I agree there is no need to promote 'gangster or bad guy' in music, anyone with an once of brain matter would realise that rappers make money from story telling and are NOT gangsters just like and actor plays a gangter in a film is not a real gangster!

Think about this- Parents unable to discpline children efficiently due to laws or Dads alienated from families!

[MsMimi49]

the best, and saddest movie ever, i love it so much , it still makes me cry,. wonderful music,

[ImOnWelfare]

damn, that girl can reach a high pitch O.O

[rodder1932]

is a big,,,i'm proud to be Italian!!

[TheRuiMartins]

I dont understand but this music makes tearfull...I do not have the story of the music on my mind but still feel the sadness....!

It is just divine!

[musikalskevenner]

If you se the film, you will feel the sadness.

[trickythemicky]

very well done

[SadClownMovies]

love that!

[edro3111]

My God this song brings tears to me every time I listen to it. What a wonderful presentation!

[Schaschlick112]

@edro3111

me too, it's just so full of feelings, so beautiful.....i can't describe the feelings while i listen to this track!!!!!

[kimbo8501]

@edro3111 lo mas impresionante que e visto me hiso llorar ¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡¡

[easyrider211]

A great version of the music from the master that is Ennio Morricone, and the fabulous voice of Carla Maffioletti.

[RaikenXion]

Nice to see people still show some love for the great "Ennio Morricone." His music was beautiful in the "Spaghetti Westerns."

[theaterboythefirst]

André Rieu from a distance has a striking resembelance to Henry Fonda (as Frank) in the "Once upon a time in the West" movie.

[jld19brownbomber]

ahhhhhhhh i dont no wat ppl r sayin!

[tinmontin]

Naturalmente Italiano.... phhh

[blackhawkwxfan]

Very nice, but Ennio Morricone's orchestra does a better job IMO...Carla's vocals/mic could be louder.

[feuerw112]

Das Live zu erleben wäre mein Traum. ECHT STARK

[lovethediscogirls]

Heartbreaking !!!!!!! Makes me weep like a baby each time I hear this.

[tsvmeitingen]

gänsehaut

[parmyster]

comment to Prizm4 if you look closer you will see a head mike on right side of opera singers head and also same on choir singers. All the same its a fantastic piece of music from a brilliant film

[Vexed34]

Beautiful! Once upon a time in the west music like this was more appreciated. :(

[NewYorkBattleCat]

vafaculo!

[tekilamarco]

@NewYorkBattleCat VAFFANCULO

[NewYorkBattleCat]

@tekilamarco

no im not italiano, i wish, beautiful people and culture, i only know few words, bambino? vaffaculo lol, im Latino, from Ecuador =) i live in New York!

[switchstand]

I always wanted to see this song played by an orchesta. WOW!

[Prizm4]

I don't think she's singing live. She has no mic, and her timing and timbre are exactly the same as the CD version.

[switchstand]

Sure looks like she has a little mic on at 3:13 to me.

[mmaybrown]

@Prizm4 You're correct. Most of his DVD's are pre-recorded. More or less you're hearing a CD but watching the concert.

[cloudidogz]

@Prizm4 her mic on by her right cheek

[Cuntzenegger]

Good cover-version!

[65Dart]

Luciana Paluzzi...

[tekilamarco]

da non scordare i Romani il colosseo Alberto Sordi,leonardo da vinci che è Italiano comela giocnda

Not to forget the Roman Colosseum Alberto Sordi, Leonardo da Vinci is Italian as La Gioconda =) e poi il macellaio sotto casa mia pure la moje

[csmoniz]

É fantástico ver uma artista BRASILEIRA de Santa Catarina, jovem e bela fazer sucesso ao lado de um expoente maestro! Que voz!!!!!

[crobilly19]

[arthur131313]

This was the high water mark of the spaghetti western

[stripemister]

When the gates of heaven open, this is the kind of beautiful music we will hear for eternity. Can't wait.!!!

[leafmutt]

dangerous to think like that

[stripemister]

It's only dangerous if your down in hell looking up. Hopefully, you never reach that low.

[chairmanofthebored1]

This has got to be one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard in my life.

[rmo18]

ASTONISHING!
