In ‘Land of Legends’ German composer Andreas Ludwig (what’s in a name) Schulte takes you along to the fictional world of legends myths and fairy tales. The introduction to the first part (The Castle) describes the majestic contours of the sceneof action. Its instrumentation (horns) immediately makes you imagine being in Medieval spheres. The addition of trenchant copper instruments even gives the part a heroic tinge. After entering through the gate a lot of hustle and bustle appearsto be going on in the courtyard. Pages squires and soldiers are busy attending to their arms. Beer is being brewed flax is being spun cattle are being tended and some craftsmen from neighbouring villages are busily at work. In the upperchamber of the round tower lives an old man (The Old Wizard). He hardly ever comes out and nobody knows exactly what he is doing. It is said that he is engaged in wizardry and magic. It is all very mysterious. There are also festivities some ofthem sober others exuberant. The wedding in the third part is celebrated in a grand manner. With a flourish of trumpets the bride makes her entrance at the hand of her father. Afterwards at the party there is dancing to the music played byminstrels and of course a plentiful banquet follows.

Né en 1928 à Rome Ennio Morricone a donné à la musique de film ses lettres de noblesse. Il collabore dans les années 60 avec Sergio Leone et ses compositions pour les westerns italiens feront sa gloire. De très grands chefs-d?œuvre comme Il était une fois dans l?Ouest ou Il était une fois la révolution lui ont permis de se faire connaître auprès d?un large public et de composer les bandes sonores de films de grands réalisateurs tels que Pasolini Bertolucci Brian de Palma (Les incorruptibles Mission to Mars) et Roland Joffe (Mission Vatel). Ennio Morricone est l?auteur de plus de 200 musiques de film. A Morricone Portrait rassemble trois mélodies de ce grandcompositeur italien : My name is nobody (Mon nom est personne) - Metello et Here?s to you (La ballade de Sacco et Vanzetti).
