Tribute to Ennio Morricone - Oscar-winning music
Orchestra Ensemble Le Muse conducted by M° Andrea Albertini - Teatro Duse, Nuovo Teatro Verdi di Montecatini Terme
Program Info: Orchestra Ensemble Le Muse conducting and piano M° Andrea Albertini with the extraordinary participation of Susanna Rigacci solo voice Angelica De Paoli
Ennio Morricone needs no introduction : with a showcase that boasts two Oscars, three Grammy Awards, four Golden Globes, six BAFTAs, ten David di Donatello, eleven Nastri d'Argento, two European Film Awards, a Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement, a Polar Music Prize and over 70 million records sold worldwide, he is undoubtedly the greatest soundtrack composer of all time. His music has crossed generations and genres, leaving an indelible mark on the history of cinema and music.
The instrumental protagonist of the concert is the prestigious Ensemble Le Muse , an all-female ensemble that represents Italian musical excellence. The Muses had the honor of inaugurating the semester of the Italian presidency at the European Union with concerts in Ankara and Istanbul and, during a performance at the Mohamed V theatre in Rabat, Morocco, they received the High Patronage of the President of the Italian Republic for this show.
The artistic direction is entrusted to Maestro Andrea Albertini , pianist and conductor, creator of the show and founder of the ensemble Le Muse. Albertini, fresh from the success of the previous editions of Homage to Morricone – Oscar Music , accompanies the audience by retracing Morricone's extraordinary career, introducing each song with stories and anecdotes that reveal its secrets and emotions.
To embellish the evening, the persuasive voice of Angelica Depaoli , who will bring back to life the magical atmospheres of the soundtracks that have marked the history of Italian cinema. In addition, the presence of the special guest Susanna Rigacci , Italian-Swedish soprano and solo voice of Morricone since 2001, makes the concert an event of the highest artistic value. Rigacci continues to interpret the Maestro's music exclusively with Le Muse and Andrea Albertini.
During the evening, re-workings of famous soundtracks taken from Sergio Leone's spaghetti westerns will be performed, such as Once Upon a Time in the West , The Good, the Bad and the Ugly , Down with the Head , but also the evocative melodies of Mission , the modern atmospheres of Malèna and Nuovo Cinema Paradiso . There will also be surprises with lesser-known songs, such as the unforgettable songs Se telefonando (made famous by Mina) and Here's to you (sung by Joan Baez).
