Title: Not quite
Product review: Ennio Morricone has time after time proven himself as one of the greatest composers of all time, inside or outside the realm of film. And Yo-Yo Ma is undoubtedly an accomplished cellist. But their styles just don't blend.Yo-Yo Ma puts something of a 'classical sheen' on the music, and effectively it brings out the worst in Morricone. Of course his compositions and arrangements have always been meticulous, but they also had a quirky, ramshackle quality that is lacking on this recording.I'd say try John Zorn's 'The Big Gundown' for a more interesting and adventurous take on Morricone, or Triology 'Plays Ennio Morricone' for a string trio interpretation, similar in theory to Yo-Yo Ma's but with so much more life.Or better still, go for the Morricone originals - 'A Fistful Of Film Music' is a great start.
