An Essential Guide to Ennio Morricone
When it comes to soundtrack maestros, few are esteemed as Ennio Morricone. The Italian cinematic legend’s musical legacy is filled with more high-water marks than seems humanly possible, and not just by reapplying the same old tricks ad nauseam. Amongst his decades-deep catalogue, you’ll find everything from chilling horror-score weirdness, to outer-reaching free jazz, to refined classicalism, to buoyant bossa-nova pop and psych-loaded rock, to the very foundations of what became spaghetti western — sometimes all within a single album.
But have a cursory look at his discography on Discogs, and it can be overwhelming, to say the least, with pages upon pages full of a mind-boggling array of albums. Where do you even start? And then where do you go from there?
With soundtracks seeing a massive burst in popularity in recent years, this luckily has led to more than a few Morricone reissues, making his music — some of which was impossibly rare until just recently — once again thrive amongst a booming vinyl resurgence. Really, there’s been no better time to open your mind to one of the 20th century’s finest composers.
