Info for Morricone: Cinema Suites for Violin and Orchestra

Zwanzig Jahre lang war Marco Serino der Geiger von Ennio Morricone, der Solist seiner Soundtracks und bei den Welttourneen, wenn sie für den Konzertsaal umgeschrieben wurden. Im Januar 2020, nach seinem letzten öffentlichen Konzert im italienischen Senat in Rom, beendete Morricone die Transkription, die seine berühmtesten Partituren in Suiten für Violine und Orchester in dieser großartigen und unveröffentlichten Sammlung festhält.

Das Werk entstand in enger Zusammenarbeit mit Marco Serino und ist ihm als Ausdruck der künstlerischen Partnerschaft zwischen den beiden Männern gewidmet. Die Sammlung besteht aus Stücken, die bereits im Konzert aufgeführt wurden, und anderen, die in dieser Fassung erstmals zu hören sind. Anderthalb Jahre nach dem Tod des Komponisten wurde aus diesem außergewöhnlichen Dokument, das von Freundschaft und professioneller Wertschätzung zeugt, nun in Zusammenarbeit mit Andrea Morricone, dem Sohn des Komponisten, der das Haydn-Orchester von Bozen und Trient dirigiert, ein einmaliges Album.
