    Amazing that he hadn't gotten his own thread before now. shocked

    Of course Luis Bacalov is probably most famous for his Academy Award for "Il postino" in 1995 (which James Horner probably deserved), but imdb lists 142 flicks he's scored, so there's no doubt much more great stuff to check out. He's also famous especially for "Quién sabe" and "Django", and a buttload of other westerns. I'm also sure he gained a few more fans due to Tarantino using one of his wonderful spaghetti western themes in "Kill Bill".

    I just uploaded this wonderful Bacalov spaghetti western theme on YouTube, so I could share its coolness with the world.

    Here's the great theme used in "Kill Bill".

    Very nice! punk
    I'm not familiar with his scores for westerns. My fave Bacalov is Ilona Arriva con la Pioggia (Ilona Arrives with the Rain), followed by The Love Letter & Caravaggio.

    Bacalov is one of the seasoned veterans of the Williams/Morricone generation that is still around, but who seems to be mostly retired now?

    I'm not familiar with his work, really, except the obligatory IL POSTINO.
    I am extremely serious.

    Django is one of my all-time favourite western scores, and my favourite Bacalov score to date.

    I second that. Such a gorgeous and dreamy score.

    Sea of Love is my fave of his scores, but I'm going to have to check out some of the other ones mentioned in this thread.

    Haha! You know me! wink
    Yeah, the first two are meltworthy. Amazon samples- http://www.amazon.com/Ilona-Arriva-Con- … B002BGJ2NC
    Ilona in particular has a gorgeous main theme that's first heard on sax (#1) and later with wordless vocals (#3) followed by a meltissimo twinkling piano (#5). I think I've used #5 in one of the GTS 'Water' games.

    Caravaggio is epic and sweeping stuff! SAE samples- http://www.screenarchives.com/title_detail.cfm?ID=8280

    Thanks for the heads up, after "SEA OF LOVE" i am too interested in the composer's work.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Not surprised in the slightest - a composer I know nothing about so I didn't miss a topic!! wink

    Indeed I do. smile We seem to have a practically identical taste in music.

    Thanks for the sound samples, they both sound great!

    When you get to know him a bit better the surprise will begin to set in. wink Try out the samples presented in this thread, there's some really amazing stuff out there.

    HIDDEN MOON is gorgeous. http://www.varesesarabande.com/servlet/ … oon/Detail Lyrical, romantic, dramatic at places, and fully orchestral of course. Also contains a fine selection of solo instruments, making the whole even more variecolored. Stunning that directors who allow such scores still exist today. Kudos to Bacalov of course as well.
    Love Maintitles. It's full of Wanders.

    Yeah, his generation is really thinning.

    Who's left now (at least of the active ones)? Williams, Morricone, Schifrin, Q. Jones, Legrand, Bjerre? Who else?
