1. "My all time favorite composer" In response to Reply # 0
Everybody knows the classics (even though they don't always KNOW that they know), but dear lawd this man had a catalogue like no other. In addition to scoring over 500 movies throughout his long and admirable career, he released tons of music and toured the world an infinite number of times. It's safe to call this man a genius and a true legend. The score for The Mission (Gabriel's Oboe) still gets me every time... damn. Thankful I got to see his last show ever in Mantova in Italy with the Rome Philharmonic Orchestra last year.... RIP Ennio
