Morricone's work is rich and multi-faceted, representing musically the numerous reactions of the film's characters to the enigmatic central figure, the beautiful and silent widow Malena. The score, like the movie, is by turns playful, romantic, malevolent, and brutal. It uses traditional Italian instrumentation, gorgeous symphonic string arrangements, carnivalesque out-of-tune pianos, and resonant viola and clarinet solos. ... Tender, reverent, immaculately structured, and without a hint of sentimentality, "Malena" is clearly the work of a master film composer in peak form. - AllMusic

I would have downloaded this just for the album art. :naughty: But it's actually a fine Morricone score as well.
