Once Upon a Time in America is a 1984 epic crime drama film co-written and directed by Italian filmmaker Sergio Leone and starring Robert De Niro and James Woods. The musical score was composed by Leone's long-time collaborator Ennio Morricone. The film's long production resulted in Morricone finishing the composition of most of the soundtrack before many scenes had been filmed. Some of Morricone's pieces were played on set as filming took place, a technique that Leone had used for Once Upon a Time in the West. "Deborah's Theme" was written for another film in the 1970s but rejected; Morricone presented the piece to Leone, who was initially reluctant to include it, considering it too similar to Morricone's main title music for Once Upon a Time in the West. The score is also notable for Morricone’s incorporation of the music of Gheorghe Zamfir, who plays a pan flute.

In my opinion this is quite simply the finest soundtrack ever commited to audio. At times it almost seems the listener is locked in an endurance test whereby they have to forcibly stop themselves from crying, such is the melancholy beauty of the music. It is the finest feature of the remarkable film and, crucially, it sounds just as awesome when standing alone.

On to the highlights:- The title theme is a perfect opener, simmering with a melodic, minimal string section and trademark female warble. "Poverty" is an Italian style classic. "Deborah's Theme" serves to enlarge the lump in the throat, and "Cockeye's Theme" is simply a masterpiece.

The winner for me, though, is the breezy "Amapola 2", a lazy swinging number with endearing clarinet. Every one is a winner, however, with some fine variations on the themes.
I cannot recommend this CD enough,so…you know what to do.
