Ennio Morricone at 90 Celebrating a Maestro

Ennio Morricone at 90 Celebrating a Maestro

by 

This week on “Picture Perfect,” we’ll stick a feather in our cap and call it Morricone.

Ennio Morricone, author of over 500 film and television scores, is perhaps the most prolific movie composer of all time. Tomorrow will mark his 90th birthday(!).

We’ll celebrate this extraordinary artist by revisiting some of his most indelible inspirations, including selections from “Cinema Paradiso” (1988), “The Good, the Bad and the Ugly” (1966), “The Mission” (1986), “Once Upon a Time in the West” (1968), “Navajo Joe” (1966), “The Untouchables” (1987), and his Academy Award winning music for “The Hateful Eight” (2015).

I’d hate for you to miss it. Join me this Friday evening at 6:00 EST, as we salute Italy’s maestro of the movies. It’s Morricone at 90, on WWFM – The Classical Network and wwfm.org.
