Film composer Luis Bacalov has died. Many of the obituaries I’m seeing lead off with the credit for his Oscar-winning work on “Il Postino;” some prefer to front-load Quentin Tarantino’s repurposing of his music for “Kill Bill” and “Django Unchained.” I prefer to remember Bacalov from the original spaghetti westerns, back in the day when Django was played by Franco Nero. R.I.P.
