It's sampled from the music where Angel Eyes enters before the final standoff

Just did a quick check on that and yeah so there is. A small motif of less than 10 seconds, reason why it's not on the albums and why I've missed the detail.

Hey, there are some nice links in here. Cheers for the listening.

I don't know much about classical music but I know what....

I stumbled across Aram Khachaturian's Waltz from Masquerade, and it hasn't left my itunes ever since. I could listen to it on loop all day. I should really get hold of the suite.

And incidently I stumbled across it whilst looking for Mussorgsky's Hut on Fowl's Legs, which is also fantastic.

Just thought I'd further add two of my favourite piano pieces (insanely difficult).

La Campanella

Grand Galop Chromatique

You know with the recent Eurovision horror still too much in memory, I think it's time to calm down with a gem of an anime theme tune I just discovered. I can almost unreservedly say this is the finest opening music for any anime I've yet heard. Enjoy.

Elfen Lied: Lilium

POTC3's musical score includes a homage to Ennio Marricone's spaghetti western pieces, Jani. I thought you should know this.

Yes, I know, The Man with a Harmonica from Once upon a Time in the West (one of those pieces I just love for its uniqueness). And as many probably know that I have not been especially kind towards the POTC music thus far, you might be surprised that I'm actually interested in the third film's score. I've yet to pick it up from the stores (not seen it around yet), but I've heard quite a lot of positive feedback on it, which is reinforced by some persuasive clips I've heard. Will have to see how it plays out (has to be better than the previous two piles of crap).

The wonderful "The Man With a Harmonica" can be downloaded for free using the above link. For other Ennio Morricone music from the spaghetti westerns of the past, try http://www.clinteastwood.net/ which features music from "A Fistful of Dollars" etc.

'Tis brilliant stuff

The Royal Philharmonic Orchestra are playing a concert in my local park in June. Who'd have thought it? Maybe they're a tribute orchestra?

That's cool. The RPO is one of my favourite orchestras. Is that like an outdoor performance, or is the "park" some kind of a fancy venue down your ways?

No, they are playing a local venue in Northampton which happens to be my local park - literally. I'm pondering whether to buy tickets. £20 for adults and £5 for children, I think, and it's a comprehensive programme of music and it is outdoors.

Sounds like something you should definitely go to if the programme is at all good. Could prove to be very enjoyable.

It's actually 6th/7th July per link below. Get yer flight tickets and I'll book the gig, Jani

Anyone see the programme about Sergio Leone's life and times on Sky Arts yesterday? Featured a lot of Ennio's music.

nope, but I can't believe all these old faces are popping up in the last few days. Must be Christmas, waking everyone up!
