This is a live concert by the Danish National Symphony. Quite a few of the numbers are Morricone from films such as Once Upon A Time In America and the Clint Eastwood westerns. Included as well are some numbers from Zimmer as well as others. If you enjoy this style of music (unlike the other reviewer who seemed to think he was going to watch a JCVD film) or have any real taste in music this is a nice way to spend just a tad over 1 hour. Ignore the other review , if you get the chance this is worth it either to watch such incredibly talented musicians perform or as background on laundry day. You wont be disappointed. Well , unless you expect explosions , plane crashes , bales of cocaine and supermodels : )

The Most Dangerous Concert Ever: The Morricone Duel
CinemaSerf26 May 2024
This isn't really a film - indeed it probably shouldn't be on here at all, but once we get the opening bars of Morricone's "Big Gundown" followed by a slew of fantastic cinema scores from himself, Bernard Herrmann's memorable "Taxi Driver", Nino Rota's "Godfather" and even a bit of Sonny Bono, it becomes one of those concerts that any film fan can just sit back and wallow in. No "Gabriel's Oboe" was curious, but the Danish National Symphony Orchestra and it's choir do justice to the powerful efforts of the likes of acclaimed mezzo-soprano Tuva Semmingsen. I wonder if it's easier to sing words or just to emanate tuneful sounds - like in "Ecstasy of Gold"? So many movies are brought to life by their soundtracks and the original works celebrated here are well worth a listen, more than a watch, to illustrate that well.
