Novecento

This is the Soundtrack to Bernardo Bertolucci’s (Last Tango in Paris, The Last Emperor, The Dreamers) 4-hour Italian epic historical Drama film “1900” (Novecento) starring Burt Lancaster, Robert de Niro, Gérard Dépardieu, Donald Sutherland, Dominique Sanda and many others.

The soundtrack (originally released in 1976) was composed by Ennio Morricone, and also includes several melodies from Verdi operas. ‘Romanzo’, the opening track is a typical example of Morricone’s majestic musical style.

According to many reviewers this is one of the most sumptuous and beautiful scores of maestro Ennio Morricone.
