The teacher says goodbye to the cinema with one exception
for Tornatore
Ennio Morricone, born in 1928, played jazz in night clubs
as a boy. Today, which is about to turn 90, he is preparing to direct three of
his pieces with the Orchestra of Santa Cecilia, in Rome. On that occasion, on
stage, he will alternate with Carlo Rizzari and Nicola Piovani. Morricone will
continue to direct because he says "I do not mind being on the podium two
hours", but he withdraws from the cinematographic scenes because writing
soundtracks is very tiring. "At the cinema, music must be fine for me and
for the public, there are many responsibilities and prejudices", explains
the musician. The only exception that Morricone will make is for Giuseppe
Tornatore, who defines "a son and a father". To those who tend to
associate him with Sergio Leone, he always replies "being identified for
the seven films I have made for him, or more generally for my 30 westerns,
seems ridiculous given that I composed over 500" of soundtracks.
