Reply To: What are you listening to now?
Ennio Morricone’s scores for the Italian Western could be quirky or idiosyncratic, but this one, The Guns for San Sebastian, is among his more conventional, but also simply beautiful. This is a lush, romantic and epic score by the Maestro.
Or course, one may rightly point out that it is neither really a western (it takes place in Mexico in the 18th century, so time an place are slightly off) nor Italian (it’s actually a French film), but who cares, it’s often on Morricone Italian Western compilations. At least parts of it. But the whole score is beautiful worth listening to.
