Once in a plane to romania a very old man sat next to me. after while i realized it was georghe zamfir, the great romanian pan flute solist of this soundtrack, probably the best pan flute player ever. i was touched to sit next to him later - waiting for the lugagge i dared to talk to him. he was very nice and i told him, that my wife and i are big fans on ennio and by the look onhis face it was obvious, that this soundtrack must have been also the highlight in his career. he smiled so beautiful when he heard morricones name. i was touched to meet him , because i this music just is a part of my life .
Close your eyes and look back !! There is surely one moment of your life where this wonderful music has a place !!!!!!!!!! It thrills me........................
This song reaches deep into my soul and ignites a nostolgia of my past. My mistakes and triumps. My mistakes with my children and also the good times. My lost loves and all the what ifs. Some that after 40+ years I still miss. I thought I was trying my best but in retrospect,I could have done better. It makes me want to go back in time and correct my mistakes and savor the fond moments of my life. I feel a tear running down my cheek and a smile also forms on my face. Grazie,Don Ennio. X
If that beautiful piece of music doesn't make you shed a few tears, or bring back memories of years and people from your past, I don't know what would. Amazing.
Played that in an orchestra with my friends at just 17, just now I understand the power of that music and that makes me proud of being Italian. Thank you maestro.
I have admired the work of Ennio Morricone since I first heard the score for 'The Good the Bad and the Ugly.' I think that his score for 'Once Upon a Time in America' is his greatest work. In 'Deborah's Theme' he evoked depths of loss and heartbreaking nostalgia which had never been so well expressed in music before. This is the theme of every man looking back upon his life and wishing he had done better and been better for the people he cared about. It makes me think of the first girl I ever loved and how I could never fully express my love to her or be what she wanted. It also makes me think of America and American history, of how common the story of disappointed ambition and empty success is in this country. It makes me have compassion for Noodles and for Deborah, two people who have much in common with me and with all of us. Many thanks, Ennio, you said in music what I could never express in words. RIP.
Once Upon A Time was his major breakthrough, just before The Mission. Both scores should have received an Academy Award. They received a BAFTA award instead. At least the British had good taste. Morricone's best score in my opinion is also the one that was rarely, if ever performed during a live concert: Lolita.
One of the best movies of all time, and such a sad, evocative song. The tragedy of human existence. The inevitability of failure, in spite of the American dream of optimism and success.
This reminds me when I had many friends used to gather in one restaurant in nearly city back in times in late 80s. They all went away and I remain visit this restaurant whenever I go there, but physically and mentally alone :( Strange how life turns back to your dreams :(
This kind of movies and musics are the ones who made us ( italians) proud of our Nation, please always remind about Sergio Leone and Morricone when you have to think about modern italian art.
es asi caro connazionale casi que solo los italianos pueden hacer algo tan inmenso como este film y su banda sonora , insuperable....nostalgica, melancolica, brutalmente vital, emocionante, CLARO QUE SI ORGOGLIOSISSIMO....
Un connubio tra forza & dolcezza, un genio che fa musica con ingredienti semplici e complessi come fosse pane, sentirlo è pericoloso perché crea l'estasi e la trascendenza dalle cose pratiche, quando lo senti devi smettere di fare qualunque cosa, cerchi di ridurre al minimo anche il suono del tuo stesso respiro per evitare di contaminare L'Arte, poi ti rendi conto della potenza e ti spaventi perchè senti l'emozione arrivare così forte che quasi ti pare di ascoltare la voce di Dio. Grazie di esistere Maestro
Not many things in life give you goosebumps.This does. Personally to me it touches my soul.Makes me smile in a world where a smile is so underrated and precious.
Ennio Morricone, live 100 years more, your music is full of sensitivity, moves my heart, my feelings and transports me to a beautiful place "life" because music is life as long as it is as good as yours, I love you, from Spain Rosa Sempere.
It baffles me why anyone would give this a thumbs down 🤷🏼. This is perfection. An absolute genius piece of work, this score. I get goosebumps listening to it. And it gives me the warmest feeling, like I'm home.❤
В непроходящей скорби слышу светлое начало.... на небосводе тьмы луч робкий пробивает мглу... нет, не проходит жизнь бесследно, вы маэстро показали ... есть истина для всех.. она в любви...ей и живу...
Ho sempre studiato i grandi artisti, geni della musica a scuola, con te ho avuto l'onore e il privilegio di poter vivere e apprezzare i tuoi capolavori assoluti quando tu eri ancora in vita. Grazie di tutto quello che mi hai dato e continuerai a darmi. Ogni tua composizione rivive in un periodo della mia vita. R.I.P.
This music is so emotional to me. We played this track and another track from the movie on the funeral of my dad. He past away 20 years ago. It was his favorit movie and music. I still play this track several times every year. It is awsome.
I watched once upon a time in America with my mum a few years back & she loved the soundtrack & now it breaks my heart as she passed away & her sister my aunty & 12 of my closest friends all gone in the last few months so when I hear this beautiful music I breakdown as I feel so lonely & empty inside & I feel like a shadowman who is just existing now.
Most emotional song in the world, i always remember my grandma, she past away 25th January this year, she was my heart, my soul, she loved everybody and everybody loved her, she was a HEART of a woman, bigger than Earth, i really miss her, i love her with all my heart and soul,rest in peace and may the angels keep you ! :'-)
Gracias por haber entregado tanta música a nuestros corazones. Música que recordaremos siempre y que ejecutarán futuras bandas sinfónicas. Gracias maestro fui y seré un gran admirador de su extensa obra y he derramado lágrimas al escucharlas. Estarás en el Olimpo de nuestros compositores.
Greatest ever soundtrack to accompany such an iconic film..... Makes this my favourite ever film I have ever seen and a film I will watch at least a million times and will never tire of...... x
La musica, quella che si puo chiamare Musica, ...È quando fa vibrare il cuore e subito purifica l'anima e senti dentro che misteriosamente ti corrisponde come un desiderio di assoluto!.
there are so many things that you should be proud of...Ferarri, Ducati, Ferragamo, Al Pacino, Robert Deniro, Roman Empire, the list can go on and on and on!
Ich glaube in Italien gibt es viel mehr Dinge auf die Du stolz sein kannst. Morricone ist Italiener, Beethoven Deutscher und Mozart Österreicher. Mir ist es egal wo die Musik herkommt und von wem. Sie muss mir gefallen. Vielleicht ist es viel wichtiger Europäer zu sein, wenn uns das eines Tages gelingt, können wir stolz sein!
I'm Booked to see Mr Morricone in November at the o2. I can't wait ! If this piece is played i will be in heaven...content forever....My "Once upon a Lifetime"
MAESTRO Morricone. You are Italy's pride. I am grateful to be Italian, like you Lei è l'orgoglio dell'Italia Sono orgogliosa di essere italiana, come lei.
"Genius" and "Hero" are slung around so often that they lose their punch. Music is spiritual--with the ability to manipulate emotion. This piece moves me on so many different levels. Love is an understatement.
Just when I thought I would never live to see a human being create such a very very beautiful piece of music I stumbled across this video & wow!!! Pure talent & truly gifted!!!
Never heard of this movie until I watched it with my dad over 20 years ago on tv, great film, now I have it on Blu-ray dvd. Also have this soundtrack on CD and iTunes. Rest In Peace, Ennio Morricone.
今現在62才。この曲を聴いていると62年間の人生が走馬灯のようにぐるぐる巡ります。This song makes me cry.
Me too ❤
God bless

Morricone's music, is part of Universe, it touches our hearts, our souls, RIP MAESTRO
Beautiful music.
Beautiful. Thank you for sharing this.
When, 'where and how? and Why?
When the orchestra performers are moved by the piece they're playing, that's good music.
Agreed!
Yes!!

+Andy Arciga You and I, both. And I'm certain that many share in your reflections.

There you see? I'm weeping already!
You perfectly described what I feel about it. Movie and music are going through my life like a red line.
Futuro - Passado = Presente
Andy Arciga what was meant to be will be please don't look back and regret. I know it's hard not to..
Это шедевр, и музыка и фильм!!!
RIP Ennio - Genius will never fade
NaffOffIves I had no idea of his passing until CBS Sunday Morning.
God bless him...
Un pezzo dell’Italia che ammiro oggi se n’é andato.
RIP Italian genius....sad day indeed
Once Upon a Time in America is one of the most emotional crime movies ever made....
If that beautiful piece of music doesn't make you shed a few tears, or bring back memories of years and people from your past, I don't know what would. Amazing.
a true genius and for me the greatest ever film composer
Yep
9 years ago 😮
Played that in an orchestra with my friends at just 17, just now I understand the power of that music and that makes me proud of being Italian. Thank you maestro.
This is a sample of what a human can do.
How wonderful

If I had the chance to choose a soundtrack for my life, I would certainly choose this one.

well said!
Leone believed that Once Upon A Time In America was his best work
Once Upon A Time was his major breakthrough, just before The Mission. Both scores should have received an Academy Award. They received a BAFTA award instead. At least the British had good taste.
Morricone's best score in my opinion is also the one that was rarely, if ever performed during a live concert: Lolita.
Sometimes all I need is this music and the air that I breathe, only then am I at peace with the universe!
It's criminal to have not won Oscar for this
Even for The Mission, Nuovo cinema Paradiso, Once upon in the west
THE greatest composer of the 20th century.Emotion,beauty,power and passion.and he had the art of motion pictures.
One of the best movies of all time, and such a sad, evocative song. The tragedy of human existence. The inevitability of failure, in spite of the American dream of optimism and success.
Richard Koenigsberg couldn't agree more that's my funeral music !!!
you are so right
Да:)
To live is a tragedy but to live an epic tragedy is the key
shogunzac- wow, profound !

I miss him.
Once Upon A Time In America, just one of the many great movies Ennio composed music for. R.I.P my friend.
This reminds me when I had many friends used to gather in one restaurant in nearly city back in times in late 80s. They all went away and I remain visit this restaurant whenever I go there, but physically and mentally alone :(
Strange how life turns back to your dreams :(
This kind of movies and musics are the ones who made us ( italians) proud of our Nation, please always remind about Sergio Leone and Morricone when you have to think about modern italian art.
We do
Francesco Iavazzo si, ma non c'è bisogno sempre di tirare fuori l'orgoglio nazionale.... :D
fabrizio zambuto non è orgoglio, è solo che se vado all'estero e dico di essere italiano, non mi piace sentirmi dire sempre le solite frasi stupide...

Great Music and Humans' of Our Time.... Sergio Leone and Ennio Morricone... Peace wherever you Are.
La più grande colonna sonora di tutti i tempi!

懐かしさと、あこがれと、青春の思い出と、もの悲しさで、思わず涙が溢れてしまいました。

The Emotion in this piece is spectacular, when you have seen the film and think about the different scenes it has such great meaning
It baffles me why anyone would give this a thumbs down 🤷🏼. This is perfection. An absolute genius piece of work, this score. I get goosebumps listening to it. And it gives me the warmest feeling, like I'm home.❤
Well the movie was butchered in America when it came out there
В непроходящей скорби слышу светлое начало.... на небосводе тьмы луч робкий пробивает мглу... нет, не проходит жизнь бесследно, вы маэстро показали ... есть истина для всех.. она в любви...ей и живу...
Очень хорошие слова
Best movie of all time... Music is just outstanding.
Dusan Markovic Absolutly YES

This music is so emotional to me. We played this track and another track from the movie on the funeral of my dad. He past away 20 years ago. It was his favorit movie and music. I still play this track several times every year. It is awsome.

Brilliant piece of music, by Ennio Morricone, touches me, within, love it, and best every movie made, Great Actors. Want the Poster
One of the finest movie scores written. A true genius.
We will remember you as one of the most important creators of the 20nth century. Thank you.

a incredible film and incredible music........ morricone for ever. And still, it never got an Oscar...... how come??
Magnifique , musique très belle vue sur tout les angles , très romantique j'adore
Honesty, Purity, Unselfishness, and Love
Слушая эту музыку я застываю на месте и не могу даже пошевелиться.
Сумашедшая по красоте мелодия

I saw this movie over 100 times! And I'm looking for my DVD in my room now. I can't find it...
And it deserved 100 Oscars because it is an immortal work of art...
I feel you!! At least a hundred times 🤣
Greatest ever soundtrack to accompany such an iconic film..... Makes this my favourite ever film I have ever seen and a film I will watch at least a million times and will never tire of...... x
Riposa in pace, Maestro, grazie di tutte le emozioni che mi hai dato nella vita.
Every emotion enacted in the film is captured in this glorious music.My favourite film ever.:)
Grazie per esserci stato e per averci trasmesso queste frequenze superiori. 🙏
italians have always been the best in art whether its in music or movie or architecture
How about paintings on ceilings?
but italians have a bad economy xD
@@marvinsilverman4394 Actually Italy is still one of the G8 members and among the first 10 world's economies.
no one has yet surpassed the Russians in any field
Another pretentious idiot
Morricone foi e sempre será um dos maiores compositores de todos os tempos, seguindo uma tradição italiana. Um Gênio !
This score is going to drive me crazy - it's so hauntingly beautiful - can't handle it!
La musica, quella che si puo chiamare Musica, ...È quando fa vibrare il cuore e subito purifica l'anima e senti dentro che misteriosamente ti corrisponde come un desiderio di assoluto!.

watched the film many times but this piece is better than the movie just a liverpool lad who really appreciates good music!
Forza Italia!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Questa è l'Italia. Grazie Ennio!
"Genius" and "Hero" are slung around so often that they lose their punch. Music is spiritual--with the ability to manipulate emotion. This piece moves me on so many different levels. Love is an understatement.
Un Maestro a partido !! Dejándonos su música instrumental para por siempre escuchar . Gracias por ese legado Maestro !!!
the best Music ever ... the best movie ever.... Maestro i must cry for your mastership..
simplement indescriptible ! que d'émotions ressenti en écoutant cette musique, du grand art ! l'impression de vivre chaque note merci Mr Ennio !!!!
Karim Kiko 😄
Es sin duda mi película favorita,su música la engrandece más aun
Ma che meraviglia... Come tutte le sue composizioni... Un genio, il piu' grande compositore contemporaneo!
I just listened to this again. For about the fiftieth time. Wonderful.
John Williams is a genius for his art. But. Ennio just tugs the heartstrings. How? I don't care. I'm glad he does.
Rest in Peace Grande Maestro ❣❣❣
I was fascinated by his music, This is one of my favourites!
Who after he passed away?
An absolute masterpiece
Sadly from the far west down to the Bronx suburbs there is only silence now. Thank you maestro.
Maestro muito obrigada pela tua sensibilidade e genialidade suprema. Hoje a Terra e os Céus se unem com a tua música
I’ve never really appreciated the work that goes into creating such wonderful piece. In future I shall watch the movies and think of the musicians!
Just when I thought I would never live to see a human being create such a very very beautiful piece of music I stumbled across this video & wow!!! Pure talent & truly gifted!!!
Never heard of this movie until I watched it with my dad over 20 years ago on tv, great film, now I have it on Blu-ray dvd. Also have this soundtrack on CD and iTunes. Rest In Peace, Ennio Morricone.
How he does it. Morricone's music makes me cry every single time...what is it!!
tears galore again....never fails.....
Iam an American and have to hear anything this beautiful come from my country!
Ennio Morricone, is italian, like art, culture, history, music and football...
A sound track that opens your soul and surrounds your emotions into pure bliss
Maestro mi mancherai! Grazie per tutte le meravigliose emozioni che la tua musica mi ha regalato. Non ti dimenticherò mai.
good people are attracted to good things.... this is wonderful.
I would have loved to have been one of those persons sitting playing an instrument 🎻 along with them.
talented and inspiring
Lovely music 🎶 ❤
Never heard more lovely music - thanks, Ennio, this music will be played at my funeral.... and I will be shakin' of joy somewhere :-)

Wow!!! What an amazing piece. I get chills just hearing this. Once in a life time someone comes along like Ennio and composes something like this .
