I like Donaggio’s PASSION a lot too, just like I enjoy all the Donaggio/De Palma collaborations. PASSION is of course heavily influenced by lots of works, most notably Ravel’s Pavane Pavane pour une infante défunte, but also Jon Brion’s MAGNOLIA and Morricone’s THE THING among other things. But Donaggio fuses it all together into one highly listenable album.
