The genesis for this recording began during the Academy Awards in 2001, when Yo-Yo Ma was performing the Academy Award-winning score for Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on the Oscar telecast, and met Morricone, who was also in attendance for his Oscar-nominated score Malèna.
Yo-Yo Ma collaborates with the acclaimed Italian film composer Ennio Morricone on a new Sony Classical recording, Yo-Yo Ma Plays Ennio Morricone, that features original cello and orchestra arrangements by Morricone of his most popular themes from such films as The Mission, Cinema Paradiso, Once Upon a Time in America, The Good, the Bad and the Ugly, The Untouchables and many more.

Their initial encounter ultimately resulted in Morricone reimagining many of his most famous melodies in new orchestral treatments that feature the cello.
