Ennio Morricone, awarded with the 2020 Princess of Asturias Award for the Arts together with John Williams, has died.

As stated in the Minutes of the Jury that conferred the Award, “the two recipients of the Award have enriched hundreds of films thanks to their talent. While Morricone built his reputation by putting European music to the American Wild West, Williams transferred the spirit of the Viennese symphonic tradition to Hollywood blockbusters. If there is one thing that the extensive, varied work of both composers has in common, it is their dazzling ability to cross genres and borders.”

The Jury was chaired by Miguel Zugaza Miranda and made up of José María Cano de Andrés, María de Corral López-Dóriga, Oliver Díaz Suá-rez, Dionisio González Romero, Sergio Gutiérrez Sánchez, Ricardo Martí Flu-xá, Fernando Masaveu Herrero, Joan Matabosch Grifoll, José María Pou Serra, Emilio Sagi Álvarez-Rayón, Benedetta Tagliabue, Patricia Urquiola Hidalgo, Aarón Zapico Braña and Catalina Luca de Tena y García-Conde, as acting secretary.
