La música y el cine lloran la partida del maestro Ennio Morricone

Decenas de personalidades han usado sus redes sociales para despedir al compositor Ennio Morricone, fallecido este lunes a los 91 años. Desde importantes cineastas y actores, hasta altas autoridades a nivel mundial: todos tuvieron palabras de adiós para el Maestro.

"Siempre lo recordaremos con infinita gratitud. Nos hizo soñar, sentir emocionados y reflexionar con memorables notas que permanecerán en la historia de la música y el cine", dijo el Primer Ministrio italiano Giuseppe Conte.

"Su música seguirá sonando en nuestra memoria", indicó el actor Antonio Banderas, mientras que el músico francés Jean-Michel Jarre lo calificó como "una gran influencia y una fuente constante de inspiración".

El grupo Metallica, que desde la década de los 80 abre sus shows con "The ecstasy of gold", dijo de Morricone que "su carrera era legendaria y su música inmune al paso del tiempo".

Incluso el chileno Jorge Coulon de Inti Illimani recordó una anécdota que vivió con el compositor, cuando el grupo estuvo apunto de trabajar en la banda sonora de "La misión". "Finalmente hubo problemas sindicales en Inglaterra y no se pudo", dijo el músico nacional.

Where to even begin with iconic composer Ennio Morricone? He could make an average movie into a must see, a good movie into art, and a great movie into legend. He hasn't been off my stereo my entire life. What a legacy of work he leaves behind. RIP. https://t.co/qZX6qE10ke

Se fue el gran Morricone... Grabábamos en su estudio en Roma con Sergio Marcotulli, su ingeniero de sonido. Grandes personas, romanos hasta los huesos...
Nos quería en la música de La Misión, pero finalmente hubo problemas sindicales en Inglaterra y no se pudo...

"I saw with great sadness that one of my musical heroes, Ennio Morricone has passed away today. His music introduced me to albums and the first album I ever bought was one of his. He made beautiful emotional music and was the master of melody."

Oscar-winning Italian film composer Ennio Morricone has sadly passed away today at the age of 91. Morricone, who was simply known as "Maestro" in his home town of Rome, scored more than 500 films over seven decades, receiving an Oscar in 2016 for his score to Quentin Tarantino's ‘The Hateful Eight’.⁣ ⁣ We were honoured to have Morricone record the score for the film in Studio One with The Czech National Symphony Orchestra. Watch the maestro conduct the orchestra for the chilling track ‘L’Ultima Diligenza di Red Rock’.

Over the next few days, a lot of good people are going to tell you how great Ennio Morricone was and how much he meant to film music.

But I would like to invite you to just listen to this for yourself.https://t.co/J4jF1p1H11
