Music from'The Good, The Bad And The Ugly' & 'A Fistful Of Dollars' &'For A Few Dollars More'.......2007-06-13

I grew up with the Spaggetti Westerns and these were my favorite, so when I had a chance to purchase on CD what I had on vinyl I grabbed the chance. The music gives on the sense of power, suspense, and feeling macho of being there and standing down an oppenent.

Has No Pizzaz.......2007-04-12

This is pleasant enough listening, but after hearing the original performances, this is a watered-down version that has none of the haunting, sharp and unique sound that the originals had. I remember this album cover very well when it was first released as an LP record and a lot of copies must have sold. I am not sure why. Just buy the original soundtracks instead of this poor substitute.

NOT the original motion picture soundtrack ........2007-02-22

This is not the original motion picture soundtrack . I felt disappointed , and a little bet insulted when I first listened to this album . the wild cries in the good , the bad and the ugly theme got replaced with flutes , guitars and drums - not the marching band drums but the beach boys drums - are included in all the tracks , and the macho chants muffled .

This is , shall we say the danceable version , the tribute version , the lounge music version , the politically correct version , an elevator music version and to sum it all up , not the original motion picture soundtrack.

It still manages to give the illusion of listening to the original, but that's it .

Should've paid more attention to other customer reviews , not just the ones on the top.I wouldn't have bought it if I new it was a tribute album .

Pick up the originals if you want to relive those wild and fresh scenes from the trilogy.

Customer Reviews:

Not My Style.......2007-05-11

This CD has a lot of good songs on it, but it just too bland for our taste. We prefer Western music to sound as though genuine cowboys are singing it - not a fancy chorus!

Rockin' Western Collection.......2006-08-28

For anyone who likes movie/tv music from westerns should purchase this CD. What a wonderful collection of both film and tv with great renditions of each piece. I'm about to purchase Vol. 1 to complete my collection.

Hard to Find Great Western Themes .......2006-03-16

This CD has a number of great western themes that are not in some of the standard lists. For example it includes "The Hallejuah Trail", "Blazing Saddles", and "Giant". This CD also has what I consider the true theme of "The Comancheros". I have been disappointed with some other CDs I have purchased listing "The Comancheros" which had a song rather than this theme. Many of the tracks on this two disk CD go beyond the main theme music and are actually suites. The "Big Country" and "How the West Was Won" are just a couple of examples. It may be a little more expense than some CDs, but not bad for a two disk set. I am really happy with my purchase.

Western Music.......2005-07-29

I enjoy this CD. It has many familiar melodies. Good background for reading, nice to listen while driving. It is also the only CD I've ever found that has the great theme from the movie "Giant."

A great follow-up.......2003-08-29

This is the second collection by SilvaScreen, who are also responsible for "The Wild West: The Essential Western Film Music Collection" (see my review). And it's just as good as the first. There are themes in here that everyone will recognize ("Bonanza," "A Fistful of Dollars"), themes that may not be so familiar ("Duel in the Sun," "The Hanging Tree," the lively "Blazing Saddles"), and even themes you may not associate with Westerns at all ("The Friendly Persuasion"). And no duplication either: when this disc includes a piece from one of the same sources covered in its predecessor, it's a different piece. One great treat: the full lyrics to "Gunfight at OK Corral," which I've never heard outside the soundtrack of the movie itself. The arrangement from "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid" includes not only the familiar song "Raindrops Keep Fallin' On My Head" but an overview of the music--seguing almost seamlessly into Bernstein's magnificent "The Comancheros," a rare find indeed. An expensive item, but if you love Western film music, well worth it.

The Greatest Western Themes.......2007-04-01

Great songs, I always loved cowboys shows and this just makes you remember them.

Great Stuff...Just, Not Enough.......2006-03-17

Well, I not only love films from the Western genre, but I also love the music that goes along with it. Morricone,Tiomkin, Bernstein,Rose...if you are also a lover of the themes and songs from the great Westerns, you know you could hardly go wrong when all those names turn up on the same album. "The Greatest Western Themes" performed by The Ghost Rider Orchestra includes all those guys mentioned above on this album. And not only that, but the renditions and performance is terrific. The sound quality of this little album is also very good. The only problem is there's just not enough!

There are 10 tracks of mostly instrumental great stuff.(okay, 'The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly is not entirely instrumental, but who has ever understood the words anyway?).
Opening with the Theme from "The Magnificent 7"(Bernstein), right away it gets you in that Western mood. Three great from Morricone include, "For A Few Dollars More",G,B&U, and a real treat for spaghetti Western lovers, "Once Upon A Time In The West". A rousing rendition of "Bonanza" will make you want to saddle up with 'Pa' and the boys, and a sweet sounding "Shenandoah", may bring a good nostalgic feeling. Also included is "Ghost Riders In The Sky", "Streets of Laredo", "High Chaparral" and the beautiful theme from "High Noon"(Do not forsake me...)

These are a pretty good selection and representation of the Western themes from films(and TV) we loved, but at only 25 minutes, it's just not enough. This album was originally produced in 1986(most recently 2004), so let's just stick with some that could have been added from before the original production. A few that come to mind are the sentimental Green Leaves of Summer" from John Wayne's "The Alamo",theme from "Red River", "Oh My Darling" from "My Darling Clementine" for Ford fans, and even along more recent lines, anything of Bob Dylan"s from Peckinpah's "Pat Garrett and Billy The Kid", would have been a nice addition as well.

So a short but sweet album for Western lovers. Might get the mood right for a Western style party or Bar-b-que, or nice to take you away for a little bit while stuck in traffic(those who live in So. Cal will know what I mean when I say..stuck on the 405 Freeway!)

Saddle Up and "Happy Trails To You"(Oh - That would have been another good one!)...Laurie

Excellence!.......2007-04-22

These recordings range back to 1994, with a number of tracks being from Silva Screen's "Music from the Films of Clint Eatwood" compilation, with Derek Wadsworth conducting the City of Prague Philharmonic.

Those tracks are: "The Good, The Bad and The Ugly", "A Fistful of DOllars", "For a Few Dollars More", and "Two Mules for Sister Sara". "In The Line Of Fire' also appeared on that CD, performed electronically by Mark Ayres.

The next bunch of tracks is from Silva Screen's 1996 compilation, "Cinema Paradise: The Classic Film Music of Ennio Morricone", which included the majority of tracks here such as the extensive The Mission Suite, The Untouchables, Casulaties of War, Once Upon a Time In America, 1900, Chi Mai, Marco Polo, Once Upon a Time In The West (two tracks), Cinema Paradise, and The Good the Bad and the Ugly - Ecstacy of Gold, mostly being conducted by Paul Bateman, with Nic Raine doing some of the conducting duties as well.

Hamlet is from Silva's 1997 "Cinema's Classic Romances" compilation, while "The Thing" is from Silva's 2001 "Essential John Carpenter".

A Fistful of Dynamite - Duck You Sucker is from 2002's Way Out West: Essential Western Film Music Collection Volume Two.

The remaing tracks were newly recorded in 2004 for this release:
Days of Heaven, Exorcist II, Guns for San Sebastian, Moses the Lawgiver, My Name is Nobody, The Five Man Army, The Red Tent, The Men From Shiloh and The Sicilian Clan.

Highly recommended.

"his domain of film scoring is legendary ~ Ennio Morricone".......2004-10-07

Silva America once again has outdone themselves with "Once Upon A Time:The Essential Ennio Morricone Film Music Collection", a double disc collection worth their weight in GOLD! ~ Morricone creates visual moods for each film he scores...action, adventure, mystery, romance, sentimental and suspense...the list could go on.

Ennio Morricone was born in Rome on October 11, 1928...attended the Santa Cecilia Conservatory...worked in various jazz bands, later a staff arranger and composer...an orchestrator in the '50s...scored films in the early '60s, then the WESTERNS and his name became a household word in the film industry ~ a new kind of western was on the horizon and Morricone was commissioned to score "A FISTFUL OF DOLLARS" [1964] for Sergio Leone featuring Clint Eastwood, spaghetti westerns were born ~ next "FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE" [1965] ~ and a bigger budget film "THE GOOD, THE BAD AND THE UGLY" [1966], again featuring Clint Eastwood, Lee Van Cleef and a third Eli Wallach whose performance was magical to watch on the big screen ~ violence and revenge gives Morricone an opportunity to feature electric guitars, flutes and jew's harp blending with a non lyrical chorus mixed with brass, strings, percussion with full orchestration that simply took your breath away...example is "ONCE UPON A TIME IN THE WEST" [1968], featuring Henry Fonda, Claudia Cardinale, Jason Robards and our hero Charles Bronson the mysterious harmonica player, director Sergio Leone's tribute to the American Western, pulled out all the stops ~ the Western was just a small part of Maestro Morricone's career, in the next paragraph take a gander of just what our icon of film music accomplished.

Our composer didn't stop there as "ONCE UPON A TIME IN AMERICA" [1984], featuring Robert De Niro, James Woods and Elizabeth McGovern, another Sergio Leone film..."THE MISSION" [1986], featuring Robert De Niro, Jeremy Irons and Aldan Quinn, is probably one of Morricone's crowning scores receiving an Academy Award nomination, very haunting and classical genre in substance..."THE UNTOUCHABLES" [1987], featuring Kevin Costner, Sean Connery and Robert De Niro during the Al Capone '30s crime organization, Morricone conjures a powerful and dynamic arrangement of his unmistakable theme..."CINEMA PARADISO" [1988], featuring Phillippe Noiret, Antonella Attili and Pupella Maggio from director Giuseppe Tomatore as he recalls his early childhood, the score immediately captures your heart, so tender and compelling as Morricone can only deliver.

City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra featuring conductors Kenneth Alwyn, Paul Bateman, James Fitzpatrick, Nic Raine, Derek Wadsworth ~ Crouch End Festival Chorus featuring Choir Master David Temple ~ vocals performed by Charlotte Kinder, Marie Kopecka and Jill Washington ~ guitar, percussion and keyboards performed by Gareth Williams ~ all in all did a magnicent job in bringing the music of a composer who wrote for over 250 films, receiving recognition from the industry and fans which was long over-due ~ his work is in constant demand, scoring as many as over a half dozen films as year.

This collection contains an overlay of each cue in Morricone's distinctive style of legendary scoring ~ the man who made this possible, a tremendous asset to every project he undertakes is James Fitzpatrick [producer of the album] ~ symphonic suites with full orchestra fullfilling the "film-score-buffs" cravings for more of the same, just the way we like 'em!

Where did you get that cd???.......2007-05-07

I operate a transport service and everytime I have a customer in my truck with me and this cd is playing while we are driving down the road, the customer will ultimately ask me (every single time), "Where did you get that cd?". People who have heard this cd love it!

Its worth a Few Dollars More.......2007-03-11

For years, all I had was the U.S. release of The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly. I picked this up as it was a 'suggestion' after I bought a Japanese release of TGTBTU. And I am glad I did! The sound quality is high, and this contains tracks that I heard in the movie but am not that familiar with. If you like either Morricone or are a fan of this trilogy, you won't be dissappointed.

Drive Peak Hour Listening to "For a few Dollars More"!.......2007-01-24

For fans of Ennio Morricone, Clint Eastwood, Sergio Leone, relive the magic of 'For a Few Dollars More' through this terrorisingly fantastic soundtrack music of moods.. You'll know what I mean! Includes music from "Fistfull of Dollars."

A classic.......2007-01-09

They don't make soundtracks like this anymore. The entire CD is amazing! My boyfriend and I like to listen to it on his awesome stereo in the weight room at home along with other Clint Eastwood sountracks. Another must have is "Two Mules for Sister Sara", that CD is hard to find but worth the search and the money.

Actually 2 soundtracks.......2006-07-22

From the titles of the tracks on thsi CD, I can tell that this is actually tracks from both "A Few Dollors More" and "A Fistfull of Dollars" soundtrack albums with tracks from the second film (FAFDM) first. I don't think the soundtrack album from the second film was ever released in the US (I knew someone in the early 70's who got one is Asia), but is available on a compilation album as well as several versions of this album.

Yes, but is that all?.......2004-08-22

First the good news. This is the real deal -- the great music I first heard as I sat waiting in a little theatre lobby for the next showing of FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE in 1966. It is NOT one of the imitations of the film soundtrack by somebody-or-other and his orchestra which appeared on the market after the movie became a hit.

Now the bad news. There's less than 17 minutes of music on the CD, and actually just 13 if we exclude the two tracks of drum rolls and trumpet blasts Morricone wrote merely to add drama to something happening on the screen. I could hardly believe the lovely, elegaic "Goodbye, Colonel" is only 1:42 long.

Customer Reviews:

Great movies! Great Soundtracks!.......2001-01-26

Both movies, "A Fistful of Dollars" and "For a Few Dollars More" are represented on this CD. There isn't a movie "A Handful of Dollars" much less one with a soundtrack on this compilation. The discrepancy is that the music is in the wrong order. The music from "Few" comes before the music from "Fistful" which is not what you would expect given the title of the CD and the release dates of the movies. What you would expect is great, dramatic music and you get that here. Get the CD. And get the movies as well as the third part of the trilogy, "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly." You won't regret the purchase.

IT DOES HAVE "FOR A HANDFUL OF DOLLARS", AS WELL.......1999-06-10

I just wanted to add to the review above (or below for that matter) that the CD does contain the music of "handful", evn though it is 28 mins.Just look at the titles; track 7 is "per un..." meaning "for a handful of dollars".Tracks 7 to 12 are from that movie.You may even want to check out "handful" here in Amazon...its tracks have the same names ...if only they had added "square dance" in this compilation of the movies...there sure was room for it!

Only A Few Dollars More.......1999-04-12

Note, the title on the CD is misleading: this CD does *not* also have the music to "A Fistful of Dollars."

At ~28 min, this CD is short but perfectly to the point. All the themes from the movie appear to present, and are exactly as heard in the film. If you love the music from this film, this CD will not disappoint.

This soundtrack is a remarkable example of how the music composed for a film can be as integral a part of the creative whole as the directing or writing. It's impossible to think about this movie without the music running through your head!

English is an asset and a drawback.......2004-07-20

The best thing about this recording of Carmen is the libretto. Conductor David Parry penned this facile and dramatic English translation. He avoids the pitfalls of literal translation to achieve an idiomatic flow that matches the rhythm of the original lyrics. I use this as a reference libretto for any of the French Carmens.

Unfortunately, the performance suffers from being sung in English. The singers declaim their parts with such proper British diction that Carmen comes across as a school marm. The spoken dialog is delivered beat for deliberate beat and is dripping with reverb. It makes the plaza, tavern and mountain pass all sound like a sewer pipe.

This is a good first Carmen for someone trying to understand the work. The libretto itself is a good investment for further listening. For an enjoyable performance with an emphasis on character and action, I recommend Regina Resnik on the London Double Decker set.

You Will Love Opera After Hearing Carmen In English.......2004-02-09

What a perfect introduction to opera. This newly released recording will surely get you hooked into opera. Carmen, a French opera by Georges Bizet, is the most recognizable and most popular in the opera world. It's famous melodies- the overture, the Habanera, The Toreador Song have all been featured in everything from cellular phone ring tones to Superbowl Commercial (last year's Superbowl with The "Opera In English" label has been making Italian operas into English for a number of years now. Also on the market are Verdi's La Traviata in English (with soprano Valerie Masterson as Violetta) Handel's Julius Caesar with Janet Baker and even Wagner's epic Ring Of The Nibeling sung in English. This is a terrific recording and I highly recommend it if you want to get into opera. Listen to this version first and then try the real, original French version Bizet had written. Patricia Bardon is sensational, sexy and dramatic as Carmen.

The real strength of this version is the dynamic drama. With the advantage of being sung in English, we get better insight on characters' emotions and motives, and we understand the drama a lot better. Carmen is all about great drama. Bizet drew the plot from the French writer Prosper Merimee's dark short story. Carmen is the ultimate femme fatale- a devil-may-care, sexy Gypsy living in Spain, seduces the conservatively raised soldier Don Jose, stealing him away from his fiancee, the passive Micaela, living a life of underground smuggling and rowdy taverns. "Habanera" and "The Gypsy Song and Dance" are very expressive of Carmen's extraordinarily liberal lifestyle. Don Jose, however, has fallen deeply in love- as he shows us in his song/aria "The Flower Song". But Carmen soon becomes tired of his constancy. Don Jose wants a committed, monogamous relationship with Carmen. But Carmen will not submit to love, since she is first and foremost a carnal creature. Eventually, she falls for the handsome Toreador Escamillo. Don Jose, consumed by jealousy, stabs Carmen at a bullfight after Carmen declares her love for Escamillo and rejects Don Jose's love. Don Jose's crazed, obscessive personality shines through in the English version as well. This tragedy has been done in English before so don't think this is the first time. Back in the 50's, there was a film, starring black actors "Carmen Jones" which was treated the same way as this opera- more like an English Broadway musical and with the dubbed singing voice of Marilyn Horne as Carmen. All in all, this recording is excellent.

A wholly credible "Carmen" -- finally!.......2003-09-17

This recording really sells "Carmen" as a drama. Although I have two other recordings of this opera and have seen it performed several times, it never quite worked for me dramatically. But thanks to the fine performances, conducting, and translation here, I've become a "Carmen" convert. Producing a good English-language performance of a foreign opera, especially a warhorse like "Carmen," is much more difficult than it might appear. You need performers who not only can sing the parts (of course) but also can sing *English* and make it halfway intelligible and make it sound like English and make it dramatically convincing to English-speakers. The singers on this recording do an excellent job all around. Don't be put off if you don't recognize their names -- they are up to the task musically and (especially) in their acting. Admittedly, as with *all* English-language recordings, some passages are very hard to understand without reading along, but most of the time the words are clear and effective. I would recommend this recording to any opera beginner or opera lover, even those who normally turn up their noses at performances in translation.

I love Carmen!.......2003-08-15

I do. I can think of no other opera with more melodic inventiveness, and few others with so sure a dramatic pulse. Carmen is popular and it thrills me to say that it is also a very good opera - not always true of popular things.

And what of this recording? Carmen sits well in English, so it is good to hear in translation, although some of the detais in the text jar. Escamillo refers to Jose as "my dear", which sounds rather peculiar, and the guide's line to Micaela: "it's not exactly inviting, is it?" sounds distinctly Middle England rather than Rural Spain. Some of the performers, not least Carmen herself, make the words work, although there are long tracts, especially with the chorus, where the language is distinctly indistinct.

The soloists are, by and large, strong. Patricia Bardon's deep, Handel-friendly voice adapts well to Carmen and she colours the music with phenomenal detail, sounding sexy and provocative from the start with an edge of pride and anger that emerges as the show goes on. She is out of her depth above the stave, though, and some extra top notes in the second act don't show her off to her best advantage. I have previously said that Julian Gavin is poorly served by recordings, though here he sounds much more even and gives a thrilling and musical performance (but his wooden spoken lines let him down). Mary Plazas is a lovely Micaela, rich-voiced and sincere (and word-perfect), but Garry Magee sounds miscast as Escamillo, lacking the ballast at the bottom of the voice to do justice to this tricky role.

The supporting cast is good (Mary Hegarty seems to do nothing but Frasquita these days!) but the really treasurable thing is the conducting. Stepping out of Italian Ottocento, David Parry turns his hand to this French Comedie with an appropriate lightness of touch. His pacing and handling of the set pieces is exemplary and the enrtractes go with a real swing.

A pleasure, then, for the Carmen naive or a novelty for the Carmen-acquainted. I nearly wrote Carmen-weary - but I don't think it's possible.

this is REGGAE.......2007-01-23

To the *people* who brought the rating of this great CD down by giving it one star, YES, THAT'S RIGHT, YOU SHOULD HAVE READ THE SLEEVE... Anyone looking for the movie soundtrack should know that it's by ENNIO MORRICONE and it probably wouldn't say "28 shots of western-inspired reggae" on the sleeve... Geez... You should give yourself one star out of five for observational skills and leave the reviews to the real buyers

Should have read the fine print........2000-10-01

It is packaged to look like it is the movie soundtrack. It is really a collection of bad reggae. I was very disappointed.

For a few dollars more.......1999-12-14

How could some one give this anything less than 5 stars! It's so original and fresh! By far the coolest fusion of reggae and the West! Bravo!

Grace pace and space.......1999-09-07

An excellent compilation. Nice

RIP OFF.......1999-02-10

People looking for Ennio Morricone's classic soundtrack are going to be shocked (as I was) when they discover that this CD has NOTHING WHATSOEVER to do with the movie "FOR A FEW DOLLARS MORE." It seems they have just ripped off the title to market a CD of "Western Inspired Reggae." GIVE ME A BREAK!!
