Well, I obviously didn't see that (not having these kinds of channels), but I do have all six scores Ennio wrote for Sergio Leone (+ one that has a story by Leone) which of course I love very much. But I do find Leone's output fascinating.

BTW, check this one out. It's a real corker!

I bought Barbers Adagio having fallen under the spell of it a while ago. The Cello and Violin concerto's that accompany it are also brilliant but the choral version of the Adagio itself at the end of the CD is breath taking. Without wanting to sound too poncey, I have to agree with a review I found somewhere which said that "this is what heaven must sound like"...still I'll probably end up in the other place anyway with the furnaces and the rock music.

Indeed, it is perfect funeral music (testified by many US presidents).

I quite like the First Essay for Orchestra op.12, too, that came right after the String Quartet the Adagio was arranged from. Of the three Essays, it's my favourite and one of my favourite Barber compositions. If you get the chance, you might like to check it out Dave.

Can you believe this will be getting an expanded 2-CD re-release around June or July?

Well, I wasn't expecting it and I'm Exstatic!!!!

Another childhood Holy Grail about to be purged from my list.

Now, to just get the two Indiana Jones sequel scores expanded, and my life will be complete.
