Celine on Ennio Morricone tribute album

[VinnyT.]

(9:25 p.m. GMT) On September 27th the Las Vegas Review Journal announced that Celine Dion and legendary producer Quincy Jones were teaming up for the first time. "Dion and Jones got together at the Palms recording studios on Tuesday, September 26th for a special record." They were collaborating on a song for a tribute CD to Italian composer Ennio Morricone, best known for scoring Clint Eastwood's classic spaghetti western "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."

 

Oscar-winning lyricists Alan and Marilyn Bergman have written the lyrics for the song recorded by Céline, titled "I Knew I Loved You," which didn't have lyrics in director Sergio Leone's 1984 film. "I Knew I Loved You" will be part of a tribute album to Ennio Morricone scheduled for release in the SPRING 2007!!

Composer Ennio Morricone to receive honorary Oscar

 

Associated Press

LOS ANGELES - Ennio Morricone, the prolific film composer who has received five Academy Award nominations without winning, is finally getting an Oscar.

 

Morricone, who had original score nominations for "Days of Heaven," "The Mission," "The Untouchables," "Bugsy" and "Malena," will receive an honorary Oscar at the Feb. 25 awards.

 

In announcing the award Wednesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences cited the Italian composer's "magnificent and multifaceted contributions to the art of film music."

 

Morricone, 78, has composed more than 300 movie scores over a 45-year career. He composed for many of director Sergio Leone's spaghetti Westerns, most notably the coyote-howl theme from "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly."

 

He also composed memorable scores for a range of film genres, including "Cinema Paradiso," "La Cage Aux Folles" and "Bulworth."

 

Morricone said he was very thankful for the recognition.

 

"I certainly did not expect anything of the sort, by now with great tranquillity and peace of mind I had given up on this," he told Italy's Sky TG24 TV. "This is a great, very important recognition, which I deem of great value."

[orka]

it's sounds wonderful.... i don't knew him before, but i like him so much!

[VinnyT.]

Ennio Morricone was guest on Repubblica Radio TV, a news channel here in Italy. He said the album will be released in february/march and it will contain songs from various artists such as Quincy Jones and Céline Dion (he said just those two names! ). He said it's the first time he talks about this project to a TV show.

 

He was asked about who will award him at the Oscar. He said he would like Quincy Jones to award him.

 

He seems such a great fan of Quincy Jones, and I'm sure he loves Céline's rendition of his song!

Morricone Celebrations in February 2007

 

Renowned composer to receive honorary Oscar, make debut U.S. performance at Radio City and more by Jon Burlingame

 

NEW YORK – Legendary Italian maestro Ennio Morricone, who will receive an honorary Academy Award on Feb. 25, will make his first and only American concert appearance on Feb. 3, 2007, at Radio City Music Hall.

 

Morricone, perhaps the most prolific film composer in cinema history, having written more than 400 scores for films and television, will perform with the 110-member Rome Sinfonietta orchestra and a 100-voice choir including the Canticum Novum Singers of New York and University of Buffalo Choir.

 

The 78-year-old composer – whose famous scores include The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, Once Upon a Time in the West, Days of Heaven, Once Upon a Time in America, 1900, The Mission, The Untouchables and Cinema Paradiso – is expected to conduct many of his well-known themes.

 

Massimo Gallotta Productions is presenting the concert, which is to be recorded for possible future telecast and/or DVD release. Says Gallotta: "Morricone's first-time appearance here in New York City will mark an important musical as well as cultural exchange between Italy and the United States." (Tickets, $60-$200, are available through Ticketmaster or at the Radio City Music Hall box office.)

 

In addition to his Radio City Music Hall appearance, Morricone will conduct a private concert on Feb. 2 at the General Assembly of the United Nations to welcome incoming Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon of South Korea. That concert will feature Morricone's Voci dal Silencio (Voices From the Silence), a piece inspired by the Sept. 11, 2001 attacks on the Twin Towers.

 

Other New York arts organizations have joined in the Morricone celebration. The Museum of Modern Art will present a six-film retrospective Feb. 1-7: The Battle of Algiers (1965) Feb. 1, The Mission (1986) Feb. 1 and 2, U-Turn (1997) Feb. 2 and 5, Two Mules for Sister Sara (1970) Feb. 3 and 5, Once Upon a Time in the West (1969) Feb. 3, Once Upon a Time in America (1984) Feb. 4 and 7. Morricone himself will introduce The Mission on Feb. 1.

 

New York's Film Forum will present a three-week, 26-film festival of Morricone films Feb. 2-22. Among the notable films in this showcase: Investigation of a Citizen Above Suspicion (1970) Feb. 2 and 3, The Burglars (1972) and Danger: Diabolik (1967) Feb. 6, Four Flies on Grey Velvet (1972) Feb. 8, Burn! (1969) Feb. 11, Revolver (1973) Feb. 12, Days of Heaven (1978) and End of the Game (1976) Feb. 14, The Untouchables (1987) and Machine Gun McCain (1968) Feb. 18 and 19, White Dog (1982) Feb. 20 and Duck You Sucker (1971) Feb. 21.

 

More information on the screenings is available at www.moma.org and at filmforum.org.

 

SonyBMG Masterworks is scheduled to release a Morricone tribute album in the spring, featuring such stars as Renee Fleming, Andrea Bocelli, Il Divo, Yo-Yo Ma, Bruce Springsteen, Celine Dion and Metallica.

 

Morricone will conclude February on an especially high note. He will accept an honorary Oscar "for his magnificent and multifaceted contributions to the art of film music" at the 79th annual Academy Awards on Feb. 25 at the Kodak Theatre in Hollywood.

 

The maestro has received five Oscar nominations (for Days of Heaven, The Mission, The Untouchables, Bugsy and Malena) but never won. His will be only the second honorary Oscar given to a composer; Alex North received one in 1986.

[Céline's Blues]

Céline Dion, Andrea Bocelli, Chris Botti i... Metallica, to tylko niektóre z największych nazwisk muzyki rozrywkowej, których posłuchać będzie można na wyjątkowym albumie Ennio Morricone "We All Love Ennio Morricone" (premiera 26 lutego 2007). Znany na całym świecie, nie schodzący z czołówki najsłynniejszych kompozytorów muzyki filmowej artysta, spotkał się w studiu nagraniowym z topowymi wykonawcami, aby nagrać na nowo wcześniejsze, popularne motywy filmowe i po raz pierwszy wydać na płycie z dodatkowymi partiami wokalnymi!

 

Na "We All Love Ennio Morricone" nie zabrakło Céline Dion śpiewającej piosenkę "I Knew I Loved You" z filmu "Dawno Temu w Ameryce" (w oryginale utwór nosił tytuł "Deborah's Theme"). Andrea Bocelli wykonał utwór "Conradiana", nagranie to zarejestrowane w 1996 roku dopiero teraz ujrzy światło dzienne. Klasyki jak "The Tropical Variation" zostały zaaranżowane i nagrane na nowo, specjalnie na potrzeby płyty. Maestro dodatkowo skomponował początki i zakończenia do każdego zamieszczonego na płycie utworu tak, by łagodnie przechodzily jeden w drugi, stanowiąc zwartą, muzyczną całość.

 

Ennio Morricone za swój muzyczny wkład w historię filmu, pięciokrotnie nominowany był do nagrody Oscara. 25 lutego, podczas tegorocznej gali rozdania Oscarów, Ennio Morricone z rąk Roberta DeNiro i Clinta Eastwooda otrzyma statuetkę za całokształt twórczości.

 

"We All Love Ennio Morricone" stanowi dowód jak wielkim szacunkiem i cieszy się kompozytor wśród największych gwiazd muzyki rozrywkowej i jak orgomny jest jego wkład w rozwój światowej muzyki filmowej.
