• Royal Albert Hall: ENN...
AT LAST! ~ FINALMENTE! ...This video, among ENNIO MORRICONE buffs, has almost become the stuff of legend. Now I know why! These seem the only videos of this event on KZread. I apologise for taking so long to get it online, and three attempts to get it as good as I could make it.
‘LEGEND’ was maybe appropriate given its subject-matter, a world-famous Composer of extraordinary technique, inventiveness and prodigiousness. (Big words seem better, given the posh, prissy venue as the Viewer/Listener hears in the 'warm-up').
SOME YEARS BACK I tried making a DVD in a limited-edition of 75 copies for Members of the now-defunct 'Ennio Morricone Discussion Board' but I only managed to package and produce about 10 copies. For the DVD I had designed menus with the TITLES of the pieces.
I LEFT TITLES OFF THE VIDEO because i wanted people to experience and enjoy this purely as Music ~ and not have them thinking of gunfights!
But here in the Description is the much-requested...

IT WAS WONDERFUL that, on his 75th birthday, the "grande maestro" as Quincy Jones calls Ennio; I call him Ennio Amadeus Morricone ~ he would be coming to London's Albert Hall, one of the world's premier venues for the performing arts ~ to present a 'Concerto' {{in English, 'Concert'}} of some of his known, well-loved and a tiny few of His lesser-known 'pezzi' or pieces.
My brother GORDON said, "Get two of the best seats, and I'll come down." And he brought down from Glasgow his little Panasonic camcorder, an NV-GS5. I did the 'establishing shot', and Gordon shot (superbly) ALL of Part 1, as shown here. I gave him discreet gestural direction. HOWEVER ::::Part 2 …was another story!
DURING THE INTERVAL one or more of the emblazored flunkies walkie-talkied-on-down the heavy 'security' geezer: NO VIDEOING!! What a shame!
NOW, the Quality of this film I made …is not technically 'top-notch' ~ this was the days before HD, let alone 4K, and it's not 16:9. KZread was a twinkle in its Fathers' eyes.
B A C K in Twenty-o-Three, not many people were sneaking camcorders into concerts. A graduate of the next-door Royal College of Art, I can honestly say: I did My best. (My brother commented, "Only the best for the best"). He is GORDON CARROLL, proprietor of The Glasgow Stamp Shop ~ and WE are happy to share this THRILLING Concerto with 'Whomsoever' {{Italian, 'CHI MAI'}}.
YOU WILL SEE The Beauty of a Great Master conducting his OWN Music …every note of which, HE has written. So refreshing, so contrasted too …with those 'Celebrity Conductors' [of Others' music] who pull faces and flail arms!
MORRICONE has said, "People who come for my 'gestures'… should stay outside."
It's been such a long time coming! But here it is, this third upload on Maestro Morricone's 89th Birthday. (All previous viewing numbers lost, alas).
Given that it was me who began the audience on the unforgettable evening singing 'Happy Birthday to You' [alas, not recorded] ~ well, somebody had to, and yes, it was ME. I remember vividly calling-out with cupped hands, in Italian; "BUON COMPLEANNO!!" …and the beautiful virtuoso pianist Gilda Butta' slowly turned to look directly at me.
NOW here I AM, again typing: "Buon compleanno, grande maestro!"
By the way, ALL the iMovies on my channels ' Hugh Hue Carroll ' and ' TheSundayShout ' (records of some of my speeches at Speakers' Corner in London's Hyde Park) ~ all feature little snippets of Music by ENNIO MORRICONE.
We all mourn the passing to Spirit of this Great Master of Music ...on 6th July 2020, aged 91.

It's a great experience, isn't it...
Must say your view was excellent as u saw the Maestro at an angle that shows his effortless control of the orchestra. Great selection in Part1. Even included my favourite piece, "The Legend of 1900"

Cheers John. Sorry I didn't post your appreciative comment earlier, but I couldn't get access to my KZread accounts for quite a while. "The Legend of 1900" (not to be confused with "1900") is indeed a wonderful piece. Can I say, though ~ although not so many view Part 2, I did use the fact that the videographer, my brother Gordon, wasn't allowed to video any more of the concert ~ I used that to put captions over it, about the films. Took a bit of work. So, it MIGHT be worth viewing Part 2 ...too. Cheers again.
Precious!
as much sublime as outstanding
Hello Hugh!! thx again for ur extraordinary passion in bringing Ennio's work to the forefront!!

You are right to be proud.
What a pity you were not seated on a front seat as to have a better balance of the orchestra. But you took enormous risks ; thx for uploading

Hello there. Well, if you frieze the video at 2:15 you'll see that you'd be looking up at the stage. You wouldn't really see that much of the orchestra from that angle. And I didn't want to be looking at the composer's back all evening. Where Gordon and I were, at least you could see something of Ennio's face ...and, of course, we were on the right side to get a good shot of the soloist. Thanks though for appreciating our efforts.

@@HughHueCarroll Mind you it's not a critic; personally i prefer to not to look at the conductor which prevents me from concentrating on the performance; as for the soloist if I can I take front seats slightly on the left as to be more or less able to watch his hands as I play the piano as an amateur and you can learn from the positions of his hands he takes.

jv ~ I understand better. This time, the pianist was a Woman ~ the superb Gilda Buttà. :::MIND YOU, you are not seeing an ordinary Conductor. ENNIO is not merely the Conductor... HE is also the Orchestrator ~ and, deeper than these... the COMPOSER! Morricone has ABOMINATED the use {perhaps the OVERUSE} of professional orchestrators, so prevalent in Hollywood and elswhere. MORRICONE SAID "a composer should finish his own music" /// Long since This historic Twenty-o-Three 'Concerto' ...Ennio had conducted a similar concert of his music in them, thar United States of America. A music critic reviewing the performance was WITHERING about Ennio Morricone's 'stick' technique. But EM withered right back ~~> "People who come for my 'gestures' ...should Stay-At-Home!" ~OR~ possibly "People who come for my 'gestures' ...should Stay Outside!"
Mozart still exists ...

Sorry MVE ~ I removed your comment by mistake. It came consecutively and independently after federico’s and said: “Mozart lives”. Interesting we all three think the same. But, strangely, I apparently accidentally typed ‘No’, meaning I was wrong. But I do speculate: Was it the dharma of ‘Mozart’ to return ...and have another highly creative musical life, but this time a LONG one? We all mourn the passing of certainly a Great Master, who died on 6th July 2020, aged 91. \\What an enhancement ‘Morricone’ has been (and still is) to My obscure life. Mille grazie maestro.
Can someone tell me the name of the song?? 40:33 I'm so inlove with it please please please.

Hello Nqobile. :::There is no actual song that I am aware of, but this instrumental piece by The Maestro is actually MY favourite ~ which, given the vast output by this great master, is no easy pick! :::It's called in English "Love Theme" from 'The Red Tent'::: However... You do need to acquaint yourself with the ORIGINAL Soundtrack Recording. Morricone regards the human voice as the greatest of the musical instruments ~ so hear it featuring (seemingly) His favourite vocalist ~ the soprano Edda Dell'Orso. (The lovely coda on viola is played by Dino Asciolla.) The Love Theme from The Red Tent is one of Ennio's most beautiful pieces. On the old defunct Ennio Morricone Discussion Board, Addie Smith [I dedicate this iMovie to Her] ~ she had asked, Which was Our favourite piece by Ennio Morricone... I conceded it was very, very hard to make such a single choice ~ but ~ I opted for Love Theme from 'The Red Tent'. Not at all surprised You are so taken with it! kzread.info/dash/bejne/o66ayqyHhKqTaM4.html
