The Legend Of 1900: Original Motion Picture Soundtrack

This "Legend of 1900" Soundtrack isn't the version with the entire soundtrack on it. Some of the best pieces weren't included in this non-Italian version, which has 29 songs. It's missing (among others) "Magic Waltz" (the song he plays for his seasick friend with the waves crashing outside) and "Enduring Movement" (the piece that won the contest with Jelly Roll Morton).

Go to intermezzomedia.com. Once there, you'll have to search by Composer for "Morricone", and scan through the many pages of his until you get to "La Leggenda del Pianista sull'Oceano".

The company is from Italy but the site has English (as well as their confirmation emails).

This CD has most of the good solo piano songs from the movie on it. Unfortunately, it is missing some great ones. These include: Tarantella in 3rd Class, Enduring Movement (the song that wins the contest), Magic Waltz, and Portraits (when he makes up themes for individuals to his friend). The import version from Italy does contain these songs, but it is very hard to find. Also, it's almost twice as much when you do find it. So, if you're looking for all the solos, and are willing to pay more for it, look around on the net and you'll find it...

This soundtrack is absolutely incredible! However, I just wanted to put a word in about the Italian version. I found the 29-track version while I was in Italy this past summer. I was ecstatic! I bought it and listened to it every chance I could get. It is well worth the amount on the site refrenced to in another review. I highly recommend making the purchase. You'll be glad you did!
