The initial effort in what's become an ongoing collaboration between filmmaker Giuseppe Tornatore and composer Ennio Morricone (in this instance assisted by his son Andrea) remains one of the Italian musician's most internationally beloved works. The bittersweet tale of a young boy's friendship with the local cinema projectionist and the profound, almost magical influence the movies have on both their lives won the Grand Jury Prize at Cannes and the Best Foreign Film Oscar, and netted Morricone a BAFTA (U.K. equivalent of the Oscar) for Best Score. In the late '90s, the music also received one of America's other great "honors"--it was adapted for a car commercial! The score is among Morricone's most elegant and memorably melodic, effectively evoking a rich cinematic legacy; it's a virtual musical love letter to the power of films and their music. --Jerry McCulley

A Great Soundtrack November 22, 2007
Dan R. Beto (Bryan, TX USA)
This is a great soundtrack, with a haunting melody that weaves throughout the various tracks. Ennio Morricone has produced a masterpiece.
 Cinema Paradiso is Not Paradiso for All May 12, 2007

I adore the music of Ennio Morricone in any shape or form. I prefer his more emotional soundtracks like "The Good,The Bad, and The Ugly" and "The Mission." This CD has its moments but not enough to suit my tastes. I've never seen this film but knowing Morricone and his mastery of musical emotionality I don't believe this movie would have been my cup of tea. It is still Morricone the Maestro of the movie soundtrack just a little weak in spots for me. For a audio delight buy the Ennio Morricone Anthology a truly great listen.
Great soundtrack March 9, 2007
CD searcher (Columbia, SC)
I love this soundtrack. Really beautiful. Of course the same two themes are repeated over and over but who cares?
20 years later and I still want Toto to be with Elena September 26, 2006

When the Italian film made waves I was still a schoolgirl but it did make me want Toto and Elena to be together back then and now. This soundtrack is haunting and draws out the intense longing and yearning for a love long lost ... and the marks of our youth that propell our creative destinies.
One of the best soundtracks! July 15, 2006

This is the soundtrack for the award winning Cinema Paradiso, a brilliantly photographed cinema treasurer. This is one of the most beautifully written scores that fits the movie perfectly. I strongly recommend seeing the movie and experience Cinema Paradiso!
