Once Upon a Time in the West专辑介绍 莱昂内于1968年拍摄的《西部往事》(Once Upon a Time in the West)中,“好坏丑结构”保留了下来。色厉内荏的大胡子夏延的主题,由幽默调侃的班卓琴演奏。世界观众很难忘记那凄厉哽咽、刺人心肺的口琴声,更难忘那牵动着人类共有的怀旧情结,仿佛飘过了无限时空的女高音无言哼唱。在使得莱昂内——莫里康内的代表作《西部往事》成为不朽名作的诸多因素中,音乐所起的作用再大不过了。“往事主题”具有的穿透力和强大感染力,为一般影片配乐不能相提并论。那辽阔宽广、舒缓动人、含义深刻的旋律是无法用语言来形容的。“住事主题”是莫里康内的代表作,又是世界电影音乐的颠峰之作。在用各种文字书写的有关这位作曲家的介绍或评论文章中,它是人们必然要涉及的一段音乐,同时又是上至影评家、下到普通观众以及无数音乐爱好者永远怀着赞叹和敬畏之情去聆听、去谈论的一段音乐。其迷人的音色、流畅的旋律和隽永的风格,对世界各国的许多影片产生了影响。

After deconstructing the classic American Western by way of The Good, the Bad & the Ugly and A Fistful of Dollars, director Sergio Leone distilled his intentions with 1968's Once Upon a Time in the West, arguably a milestone for both Leone and his musical cohort, Ennio Morricone. For his part, Morricone framed Leone's meditative camera work and mythic narrative with a mix of hauntingly spacious pieces and reconfigured snatches of old-timey tunes. Just within the stretch of the first four pieces here, Morricone evokes the endless expanse of the West with a Copland-esque aria (the main title theme), weaves some twisted grit into the showdown theme with loads of guitar fuzz ("As a Judgment"), ingeniously combines whistling and a clippity-clop rhythm for a respite piece ("Farewell to Cheyenne"), and conjures the surreal end of the cowboy mythos via a wonderfully disjointed serial-style number ("The Transgression"). And whether sounding upbeat or stark, Morricone informs it all with the dry and windswept vacancy of the West. Beautiful and stunning.
