In Tune

Time spent with the Maestro Ennio Morricone is time well spent. The six minutes plus of Una Lucertola Con La Pelle Di Donna (La Lucertola) were the highlight of the day for me, and I haven't even a clue what the title means.

When I first started really getting into Morricone I thought the recording techniques available to him back in the day put some kind of limitation on his work. I've come to understand how his extraordinary musical imagination exploited the constraints such that he created a wonderfully flexible language out of them.
