One would think that at the age of 85, the stress and pressures that come with certain professions would be something a person would be glad to leave behind. However; famed movie composer Ennio Morricone has not let age get in the way of his work, with a career spanning over 50 years and 500 movie scores, he is showing no signs of slowing.
Though many people may not be as familiar with his name than some of the more mainstream composers, there will be at least a few of his themes that most will have heard. Probably most famous for his work on Sergio Leone's Dollars trilogy ('A Fistful of Dollars', 'For a Few Dollars More' and 'The Good, The Bad and the Ugly'), in recent years he has reached a new audience with music featured in movies such as Quentin Tarantino's 'Kill Bill' and 'Django Unchained'.
In December he will be conducting a collection of his most loved pieces, as he embarks on a brief tour of the UK and Ireland. It's a rare chance to see a real movie music legend perform his finest works, but it'll set you back a penny or two; with tickets ranging from £50 to £120 each.
