heart0less Posted July 7, 2020 Share Posted July 7, 2020 Really sad to hear this.. He was a living legend. Still being able to produce mesmerizing tunes after having worked almost 50 years in the industry.. Themes from "Cinema Paradiso" and "La migliore offerta" are my all-time favorites. At least his legacy will live on. PannySVHS 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And has 2020 credits. The "almost" should actually be followed by the number 70. Over six decades; legendary talent and career. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry to have to write here but this man is part of myself and I am simply very, very sad with his physical death : ( No other chance to see his legendary work in a live performance or a new work by his hands, it's enough to figure out that with his disappearance there's the end of a golden age marked by this living legend.

( : But just to clear it up: I didn't try to underrate his achievements in any way. Like I said - Ennio is and always will be the guru of film score composers in my mind.

A career that lasts 65 years is pretty cool. We all should be so lucky. Not knocking your appreciation for Ennio, just giving him credit for all the years devoted to the craft.
