Once Upon a Time in America

International superstar Andrea Bocelli returns with his eagerly-awaited new album ‘Cinema’, celebrating the greatest movie songs of all time. The album marks Bocelli’s first new studio recording in two years and has partnered with global superstar Ariana Grande on the heart wrenching duet ‘E Piu Ti Penso’ from ‘Once Upon A Time in America’/‘Malena’ and Nicole Scherzinger on the epic musical anthem ‘Don’t Cry For Me Argentina’ from ‘Evita’ (only on the deluxe version).

The Italian saxophonist pays tribute to the great Ennio Morricone, who passed away last summer. The album features Morricone’s most famous works (Once Upon a Time in America, The Mission, The Great Silence etc.) as well as an unpublished song dedicated to Stefano, who had the chance to work with the Maestro in his later years.
Ennio Morricone’s film music provides an infinite treasure trove of creative thinking, associated with the most varied of images. It is also extremely versatile, just waiting to be delved into, reworked and rediscovered - his compositions would still be equally enjoyable and perfectly recognisable performed by a Bulgarian choir or a quintet of ocarinas.
