    It's time for a little Ennio Morricone. (it's always time for a little Morricone 😀). While he is probably best known for his wonderfully quirky Spaghetti Western themes, Morricone is also a master at creating achingly beautiful melodies.

    Here is my performance of Ennio Morricone’s passionate “Love Theme for Nata” from the movie “Cinema Paradiso.” Morricone won a British Academy Award for this score.


    The panning of the various sections in the original soundtrack recording is a bit unusual (with the violins on the right), but I decided to follow it anyway. What do you think of his unexpected panning choice?

    Hi Jay,

    a really wonderful, very musical and expressive performance. The emotion of the music is well audible. And the different placing of the instruments I didn't recognize at first. I don't know if that placing really does effect the expression of the music as a whole, but I doubt if that is so.
    Well, thanks for this performance!

    (And VSL made impressive VSTI's, that's for sure! Strings, woodwinds, brass, piano, we are lucky that we can use such great instruments on our computers at home!)
