Yes, but be sure to see the Director's Cut, as some versions have parts cut from the movie, which is a travesty.

[@bobinscotland]

I'd say it was the best undisturbed 4 hours I ever watched in any film. Sometimes it would take 20 minutes for a scene to unfold, such was the slow pace of the film, but it held you all that time as you didn't want to miss a single scene of the story that was being told. Fantastic performances, especially from the lead actors.

[@bobinscotland]

@@whazzuphere Some scenes from the director's cut had been damaged or had incomplete audio, so they had to get an older Eli Wallach and Clint Eastwood back in to re-voice the scenes... you can hear the difference of 30 years or so in the voices of the old and new parts. Sadly, Lee Van Cleef had passed away by then, but they managed to use a voice actor to impersonate him on his scenes with some success.

[@whazzuphere]

@@bobinscotland I'm glad you got to see the film in its entirety. I have seen televised versions, cut due to time constraints, which deleted key scenes, such as the scene with Lee Van Cleef at the hospital and Tuco's epic running through the cemetery. Not one scene should be cut from this masterpiece!

@bob smith - it is. There is usually just slightly over 100 of them. But yeah, they are the best, performing music from movies too. And I'm sure that almost everybody loves Tuva :) Just a note: A lot of orchestras go for a slightly different kind of approach to music now. Not just a classical ones, but also playing composition/scores from movies (and some of them have been written by masters too, such Hans Zimmer, John Williams, James Horner for example). Then you may have a combination of a classical approach, and modern music - such as "Accept - Symphony No.40", done together with Czech Philharmonic Orchestra, and Ava-Rebekah Rahman (world renowed solo violinist). And the score was written by Wolf Hoffmann, based on the classical music (in this particular case, Mozart). All in all, an insteresting time to listen to "this kind of music".

"Tubular bells (also known as chimes) are musical instruments in the percussion family. Their sound resembles that of church bells, carillon, or a bell tower; the original tubular bells were made to duplicate the sound of church bells within an ensemble. Each bell is a metal tube, 30-38 mm (1 1⁄4-1 1⁄2 in) in diameter, tuned by altering its length. Its standard range is C4-F5, though many professional instruments reach G5. Tubular bells are often replaced by studio chimes, which are a smaller and usually less expensive instrument. Studio chimes are similar in appearance to tubular bells, but each bell has a smaller diameter than the corresponding bell on tubular bells."

[@herbyragan7801]

My second favorite Spaghetti Western. My favorite is “Once Upon A Time In The West” also directed by Sergio Leone.

[@bryanwilliams1288]

Very true... Not to nerd out, but if you watch GBU, about three quarters of the way through, you see where "Blondie" gets his classic green poncho that you see in the other two films of the Dollars Trilogy. This makes me think that GBU is actually the first film. I believe it goes The Good, The Bad, And The Ugly, A Fistful of Dollars, and finally For A Few Dollars More if you wanted to watch in chronological order. However, Richard is absolutely correct about the order of the theatrical releases. Any which way you watch, it's awesome!!! And then, if you have time, I highly recommend watching Once Upon A Time In The West (my personal fav). All great films directed by Sergio Leone, all fantastically composed by the late, great Ennio Morricone!!!

When you go see an Orchestra live you can even feel the music. Amazing! I highly recommend it.

[@stephencox4224]

Naturally sound after all is Vibration and an Orchestra is all about the sound and the variety of sound from different instruments, Including an Ennio trait using the human voice as a musical instrument. One thing I noted is the score for Ennio's Music is mind blowingly complex and nobody recognised the amazing job Sarah the conductress did this was something seriously complex to conduct as well as to perform well done to all involved even as professionals they must have rehearsed so much to nail this the way they did . This performance alone I have no doubt has probably added millions of new Symphony Orchestra fans alone because it has been viewed well in excess of 100 million times from the various people who have covered and posted reviews online

You have forgotten- the voice is the very first instrument that humans employed, and will always be an integral part of what is considered "instrumental" music. The piece doesn't require that many, but when you have a full choir at your disposal, you use them.

Italian film director Sergio Leone produced what came to be known as “Spaghetti Westerns” most starring Clint Eastwood.

I’m glad you got to experience the genius of Morricone.

@@richardsmith5477 nope, the movie was primarily filmed in Spain (for a simple reason, it cost less, the same reason why a lot of American movie are nowadays filmed in Czech Republic or in Hungary). Only few scenes was filmed in the Elios Film studios in Rome. Fun fact: in the movie Tuco found a skeleton. That is the real skeleton of a Spanish actress who wanted to continue to act even after death. Anyway, this version sucks, listen to a version directed by Morricone himself, a lot more powerful than this.

The moment I saw your mind blown by the soloist singer, gave me a tear

[@davewildermuth7519]

Hey! Music Librarian here to answer your questions. I'm a big fan, and I loved this reaction! It's important to note this is pretty non-traditional, as symphonic performances go. You don't often see singers making that weird "wah" sound, a soloist on the balcony, or that strange hanging thing; I don't know what was up with that, either. What you do see is dozens of musicians, playing in flawless unison, under the direction of the conductor. The orchestra is truly Europe's crowning contribution to world music. The first instrument you asked about was the ocarina, a very old instrument, probably of Mayan or Aztec origin. It's very exotic for an orchestra; you don't normally see one played. The second was a more traditional symphonic percussion instrument, the tubular bells. You made a very important observation, that movie music is in fact made by people. Most of us take movie music for granted, but it's actually an important genre of American music. As movies became big in the mid 20th century, composing for movies developed rapidly, and led to some amazing works. Standouts include John Williams, Elmer Bernstein, and this piece's composer, Ennio Morricone. Your final observation, about how the soloist sounded identical to the original singer, highlights an important difference between this kind of music and what you've listened to so far. In rock, jazz, R&B, hip hop, and just about every popular style, you're trying to sound like *yourself.* Most of the music we like is about expressing what we intend to express. Orchestral music (and fine art music, generally) is about expressing what the *composer* intends to express. You're not trying to sound like you; you're trying to sound the way the composer wants you to sound. So the soloist would be highly complimented by what you said about her performance. If there's ever a chance in this new world for you to see a live orchestral performance, there's nothing like it; you owe it to yourself. If you'd like a suggestion for another orchestral reaction, I recommend The Brandenburg Concertos, by Johann Sebastian Bach. Keep up the great work! I tune in every day for your message of positivity, and to keep going on this journey with you!
