Hello everyone, I am sure that Hayley's current album Paradiso has reminded many of us that Ennio Morricone has composed some of the greatest ever film music - The Mission (Gabriel's Oboe) and Cinema Paradiso spring immediately to mind, among many others. Well, you have until Sunday 10th July 2011 UK time (this weekend) to vote for him at the UK radio station Classic FM. A high position by Ennio Morricone films will I suspect help the promotion of Paradiso, so it's win-win - but you must be quick, the voting and associated competition closes in just over two days time! Last year, The Mission was placed 4th, and Cinema Paradiso was placed 11th, so I know what I will be voting for as I'd quite like to see Ennio at no. 1 this year - The Mission gives him the best chance I think and I love it! So let's vote! Classic FM Movie Soundtrack Voting Chart and CompetitionCompetition RulesLast Year's Movie Soundtrack ChartCompetition rules state that UK residents only are eligible for the prize draw - but the Movie Soundtrack Poll itself does not mention eligibility - so it *may or may not* be possible for members outside the UK to vote. Anyway, I am off now to vote - I think I'll mention this too on the Ennio board so I will head off over there soon. So let's vote for our favourite soundtrack - we have a Mission! :je Voting closes Sunday 10 July at 23:59 UK TimeDave

OMG OMG I just voted for Mission and guess what I got?!
"The October issue of the magazine will be packed full of filmic goodness, including interviews with key composers like Alexandre Desplat (The King's Speech) and Dario Marianelli (Pride and Prejudice), as well as an interview with Hayley Westenra on working with Ennio Morricone. Don't miss it!"
This is awesome XD, so exciting!

Well I have voted for The Mission and you don't have to enter the competition part at all, you can choose "can't go" (to the prize concerts). Looks like anyone can vote. Classic FM Movie Soundtrack Voting Chart and CompetitionAs Simba says, Hayley will be in the Classic FM Magazine October issue, which is out on August 30th! Come on guys, we have one day to complete The Mission [hint!] i.postimg.cc/9fYxy370/smilie-big-grin.gif which will help Paradiso if it does well as it will give Classic FM another excuse to play and talk about Whispers in a Dream. Cheers, Dave

I knew I interrupted my holiday to be at home for one night for a reason. One time it was a Hayley concert, but this time, I've voted. For The Mission of course.

I voted too. Every little thing helps, and I hope Paradiso to be very successful in the UK, as it deserves! Best wishes, Paulo Correia
