[@bushhunter90001]

Ennio Morricone, by far one of the worlds best composers of the 20th century. Such emotion, such insight, it is a language all its own.

[@gerryderaspe8738]

He was.a messager angel sent by.our lord To hear the greatest music from the heavens. In him we live and move and have our Beings. Thank you lord.

[@stevec7770]

The best

[@abdoolkhan3265]

I was in awe...in heaven...when I first heard this misic in1969... when my older brother took me to the cinema , to see this great movie! I could never get tired of it❤❤🎉

[@jonathanward5213]

My hero died today 😔 One of the greatest. In his humility he believed his own contribution was minuscule compared to Bach’s. Imagine composing and orchestrating this! His music is a gift from God.

[@650gringo]

Morricone's talent is certainly a gift from God himself.

[@brittamozdzen5781]

Angel Musik ❤️🙏🎵🎵w

[@neilhobson3624]

I agree fully with you Jonathan. I’ve been watching so many versions of this and they are nothing but class. Every single one of them. No egos anywhere, just pure professionalism. If he thinks that he’s minuscule then I don’t know what that makes me.

[@mariasmith1016]

🌎 👍👍👍🙏😇

[@bokasanjo]

This divine music of Ennio Morricone has guided me through my entire life since I was 15. Thank you, Mr.Morricone. R.I.P.

[@davideaston6944]

Damn ... This music brings tears to my eyes whenever I hear it. From the greatest Western film ever made, too. The final scene, as Robards dies, and Harmonica rides off, the pan out over the future being built before our eyes, rips into me every time... Thank you, for the union of Leone and Morriconi !!!

[@rikster6753]

Ennio Morricone deserves a statue, not one but a whole group. What's better than waking up on Sunday morning listening to this brilliant music. Bravo Maestro!

[@luciaboasso4546]

Tienes razón Y no hacemos lo suficiente en Italia y luego nos arrepentiremos. Gracias por los cumplidos.

[@garrykennedy5484]

Waking up EVERY morning with this!

[@slyspy9819]

I've listened to so many versions of this piece with so many different Sopranos .....and all very good but for me Susanna capture what Ennio was trying to convey......simply breath taking ,hard to believe it's a human voice .

[@dantesvaljean1868]

RIP Ennio Morricone. The first time I heard this i was euphoric and that didn't wear off at all with time. It's just as amazingly haunting as when I first heard it.

[@normansmithers7631]

take a listen to patricia janeckova's version of this on you tube.

[@neilhobson3624]

It’s brilliant Dantes You’d never put it with the film. Henry Fonda plays the most evil part he’s ever played and Charles Bronson is just outstandingly cool. Utter class. 👍🇬🇧.

[@ryder536]

RIP Ennio. This music will be everlasting. Thank you.

[@arturosanchez6985]

a RARE confluence of geniuses in one setting: best director (leone), best actor (bronson) & supporting (fonda/robards/etc.), best actress (cardinale), best music director (morricone), among others...5 star award - might be too many ...but this movie truly deserves a 10!

[@TheBob242007]

Best score in all movies

[@machinemanbaltimore]

@Ural Motorcyclist yawn.....more America bashing.

[@machinemanbaltimore]

The music paints a picture. It is beautiful.

[@tonyroldan3477]

I never get tired of listening to that masterpiece ! THANK YOU KZbin!

[@sergioportugal7390]

Really Wonderful . Ennio Morricone is the best composer of the last 50 years. And the soundtrack of Once Upon a Time in The West was the best ever.

[@bkaprod]

Susanna Rigacci riesce a dare a questo brano un qualcosa in piu', se ancora fosse possibile. Ha la voce che porta i brividi in ogni parte del corpo, e insieme alla musica del Maestro, le lacrime sulle guance. Sempre, ogni volta che lo ascolto.

[@patriziavalentini4055]

Sempre

[@henry6354]

EDDA Dell'Orso is the best ever possible...

[@pedroluizviola3374]

Simplesmente maravilhosa

[@johnyasmin13]

I can't see with the tears in my eyes and I can't swallow with the lump in my throat and my heart can't beat properly as it is broken but thank God I still have my hearing to listen to this beautiful music 🎤

[@danielveiga4382]

Every time that I listen to this composition, I can't old the tears in my eyes... It's breathtaking! I hope that everything is gonna be alright with this covid-19! Be safe brothers and sisters A huge hug from Portugal

[@bazthehandyman]

So fantastic,it's beyond words....conjures up times in your mind when life was hard beyond comprehension...men did what they had to just to live everyday.Life was cheap and even though we have watched it on screen...it all has happened.Makes me miss my Dad so much.

[@Mr54nomore]

"Once Upon a Time in the West"...The greatest western in all of cinematic history...The greatest musical soundtrack that was written and composed by the genius that is Ennio Morricone...I wished the great Italian songstress/soprano, and voice of every Morricone movie score Ms. Edda Del Orso was singing here.

[@davehansen2255]

Goosebumps. Just a magnificent collection of talent.

[@mickeyhall2214]

Absolutely fantastic love from Mickey from oswaldtwistle Lancashire England

[@joeneighbor]

One of the best movie scores ever! Viva Ennio Morricone!

[@gedbramwell9863]

[@raysharp1969]

OMG!! This is absolutely breathtaking.

[@ynnot65]

The best movie theme, ever!!!!!

[@ding174]

ynnot65 I agree if it’s with vocals. Best movie theme is Cavatina from the deer hunter.

[@luz6097]

Llega al alma. Adios Maestro¡¡

[@TwistedPJ]

Ennio moriconne is simply a modern genious this is among his best known work but almost every theme he composed are unbielievably good.

[@AB-fm2zn]

Closing my eyes while listening to her voice.. WOW! Angelical...

[@peachogonzalez9669]

Ennio Morricone Once upon at time in the west is timeless, especially with Susanna Rigacci her beautiful powerful soprano voice makes me cry every time I hear it. Ecstasy of gold & Jill's theme & of course fistful of dollars. The whole soundtrack of both movies is totally leaves you speechless & in tears. Do others cry 😢 when you hear Susanna's voice. Those high notes knock my 🧦 off 📴.

[@jnelson16701]

I do.. every time.

[@72babuzzi]

.....opera magistrale.... eterna e senza uguali.

[@freyaredfox9510]

Goodbye, Ennio! You will be always in our hearts ❤️😭

This music is so hauntingly beautiful.

[@ZitaMenyhart]

What a moving performance!!! It is breath-taking...

[@tawjackson7338]

I play this soundtrack, along with the soundtracks of The Good The Bad @ The Ugly, and "For a Few Dollars More", and "A Fistfull of Dollars" during long road trips. It gets me to place in life that I cannot explain. Simply a miracle to one's ears. Enlightens my soul with peace.

[@user-mw8um6mc3v]

Greatest western ever made. A perfect film. And this music is just sublime!

[@edgar22452]

The Good The Bad and The Ugly is the greatest western of all time! Bar none.

[@kenzielola2297]

All his music is just mesmerising and so deeply profound you can't help but open up your heart to it💜💜💜 Grazie Dio per il grande dono di Ennio Marricone 💜

[@boomerrob9223]

.....plus, it has to be admitted, Susanna is truly easy on the eye.

[@adrianadovgobrod1328]

What a wonderful soundtrack! This man is a genious.

[@robertawilson142]

Mr. Morricone was one of the greatest whoever lived… right alongside Max Steiner. Their themes will forever be etched into our hearts!!!!!!!

[@johnskinner1119]

Probably the best film music score of all time. A classic film deserved this classic theme score. We miss you Ennio, rest in peace.

[@joetred]

In the latter half of the 20th century, Italy had two of the giants in film music: Ennio Morricone and Nino Rota (who passed away in 1979). One could never get tired of listening to their film music. Morricone will have his 90th birthday celebrated at a special concert on November 10 in Rome. Morricone also just announced that he will no longer compose music.

[@josephupton3601]

I first heard Morricone's music while working as a movie theater usher during "A Fistful of Dollars". I was young and dumb but I knew the music was very special.

[@MrGashden]

I must have listened to this 1000 times. It makes me well-up on every listening. This is just perfection.

[@PeterJ001]

One of the first tunes I heard as a child and this magnificent piece of music has nurtured me...and will forever live in my soul, Grazie Maestro

[@PauloSantos-io5rc]

Ennio Morricone was a genius! The world lost one of the best human being... Rest in peace Morricone. #Morriconeforever

[@robertawilson142]

I found Max Steiners star on the Hollywood walk of fame in Los Angeles, California.. I felt so proud to take a picture of it!!!

Susana Gigacci voice of an angel.

[@johnfresen1013]

Exquisite rendition of this beautiful song.

[@joessnds3829]

Such beauty

[@toddhahn9701]

Seldom is there a theme that is so heart wrenching and beautiful that it transcends the film scored for. Make no mistake, these pieces are both true masterpieces, as were the films they were composed for. The performances in this video are absolutely exquisite.

[@chrismca]

Well said sir.

[@Magicspirit11]

One of the best themes ever written and composed for the silver screen. This combined with the crane shot over the train station house when Claudia Cardinale is arriving at the town is an epic, unparalelled moment in in the history of motion pictures.

[@willnichlas6317]

@Magic Don't forget the last scene-we hear it again as she carries water to the men, and if one of them pats her on the rear she'll pretend she didn't notice. --Hank Eason, on a borrowed keyboard.

@@willnichlas6317 the significance if a scene like that is utterly lost now...I wonder if forever?

[@larryleonard5872]

I once had an out of body experience and this is the music I heard as I felt I was floating into heaven. I cry tears of happiness every time I hear it.

[@heftic]

Ruhe in Frieden Ennio Morricone. Danke für alles das du uns hinterlassen hast. Du hast die Welt zu einem besseren Ort gemacht. Rest in Peace Ennio Morricone. Thank you for all that you left us. You made the world to a better place.

[@p.b.5131]

Ich werde es überleben müssen, dich nicht mehr auf der Bühne des Lebens zu sehen. Du hast mit deiner Musik mein Herz und meine Seele getroffen.

Want to change your life? Listen to Morricone's soundtrack to Once Upon a Time in America. Absolutely incredible.

[@wishmaster7438]

I have the movie on DVD, Bluray and I bought the soundtrack on CD. Great inspirational music to listen to but it never had changed my life. That's how I remember watching the movie on VHS tape. It was the haunting music by EM. The Mission musical score is by far the best work he has composed.
