For twenty years Marco Serino was Ennio Morricone's violinist, the soloist on his film soundtracks and on world tours where they were reworked for the concert hall. In January 2020, after what proved to be his last public concert, at the Italian Senate in Rome, Morricone finished the transcription of this magnificent and unpublished collection, which recasts the themes of his most famous scores in suites transcribed for violin and orchestra. The work was carried out in close collaboration with Marco Serino and dedicated to him as a fruit of the artistic partnership between the two men. The collection alternates between pieces already performed in concert and others that are heard in this version for the first time. A year and a half after the composer's death, this extraordinary document, a testimony to friendship and professional esteem, now becomes a recording project with the collaboration of Andrea Morricone, the composer's son, who conducts the Haydn Orchestra of Bolzano and Trento.
"those haunting theme tunes [are] given subtle orchestration and new colour…A must for film music devotees but interesting, too, as a testament." The Guardian
'There's an air of great respect and humility in the performances, conducted by Morricone's son, Andrea, while the music bears all the hallmarks of the man himself. Themes from the likes Cinema Paradiso, The Mission and Once Upon a Time in America are rich in emotional colour and unforgettable melodies.' BBC Music Screen Choice April 2022
