Musical Journeys with Movies

I remember the first time I was captivated by the background score of a movie. It was a serialised version of The Godfather being aired on local telly in India when I was 7. I distinctly remember stopping my father from changing the channel even though the end credits were rolling because I wanted to hear the haunting refrains of the music of that wonderful movie. This lens brings together all of my favourite movie scores composed by some of the musical maestros of our day.

Edzia's Top Three Movie Scores...of all time!

The Horse Whisperer, Schindler's List and The Piano

These are my favourite scores! I can hear them at any time of the day, month or year. I've even learnt to play them on the violin (which I dont play very well!)

The Best of Ennio Morricone

Some of the most memorable music sprung from the mind of another maestro. His music has become so popular that people have actually forgotten that all this started with some spaghetti westerns!
