Something for Thursday

There is an orchestra in Prague that specializes in concert performances of film music. I did not know this! It is called, appropriately enough, the Prague Film Orchestra, and they have a YouTube that is loaded with their performances. Here is one of them: a bit of Ennio Morricone, from Once Upon a Time in the West. I don’t know much about this film at all, but I do know that the Morricone score for it is highly regarded, even among Morricone’s general output. The setting is also interesting for this performance: it looks like they literally set up camp on the set of a movie musical to perform this.
