Ennio Morricone in conversation with Alessandro De Rosa ; translated from the Italian by Maurizio Corbella

in his own words

"Master composer Ennio Morricone's scores go hand-in-hand with the idea of the Western film. Often considered the world's greatest living film composer, and most widely known for his innovative scores to The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly, Sergio Leone's movies, The Mission, Cinema Paradiso and more recently, The Hateful Eight, Morricone has spent the past 60 years reinventing the sound of cinema. In Ennio Morricone: In His Own Words, composers Ennio Morricone and Alessandro De Rosa present a years-long discussion of life, music, and the marvelous and unpredictable ways that the two come into contact with and influence each other. The result is what Morricone himself defines: 'beyond a shadow of a doubt the best book ever written about me, the most authentic, the most detailed and well curated. The truest.'"--Publisher
