Stavros Lantsias Quartet My Ennio Morricone (2 LP)
Acclaimed Cypriot pianist and composer Stavros Lantsias introduces audiences to the musical universe of his beloved composer Ennio Morricone, presenting some of the most memorable soundtracks of film classics such as "Lolita", "Cinema Paradiso", "Once Upon a Time in the West", "The Good, the Bad and the Ugly". Imaginative arrangements and inspired orchestrations by charismatic soloists form an evening passionately dedicated to the music of the Italian composer.
Experienced and sensitive, Lantsias approaches the work of Ennio Morricone from the ground up, grasping its multiple dimensions and exploring each composition down to the smallest detail. With his own creative vision and accompanied by his accomplished instrumental colleagues, he creates an intriguing film that evokes a variety of emotions.
The album "My Ennio Morricone" was completed in the summer of 2023 with the permission of the composer's family.
