Caldera Records proudly presents Zbigniew Preisner's score for Fernando Trueba's movie "Haunted Heart."

Trueba's Highsmith- and Hitchcock-inspired suspense thriller tells the story of Alex (Aida Folch), a young woman who moves to an island in Greece to work at a restaurant. There, she meets the mysterious Max (Matt Dillon), her superior. While everybody warns her against him, Alex can not resist his charisma and quickly falls in love. When the restaurant closes in winter, and the couple is among the only ones who stay on the island, Alex discovers haunting secrets about her partner that threaten to destroy their relationship - and Alex.

"Haunted Heart" reunites Trueba and his composer Zbigniew Preisner, who made a name for himself internationally with Kieslowski's "Dekalog" and the "Three Colours Trilogy." For his new film, Preisner developed a sultry and suspenseful score that captures the thrill of a blossoming relationship and the danger that Alex finds herself in. As Preisner elaborates: "I wrote the music from the perspective of mystery that is present all the time in Max and Alex's relationship. Alex, a young, open woman full of emotions, is entangled in those secrets. I wanted to describe the mystery that entwines their relationship musically." For that purpose, the composer used an orchestra, solo woodwinds, and electronic instruments. One of the highlights of the score is his new arrangement of Leonard Cohen's "Alexandra Leaving," here recorded by guitarist Javier Mas and singer Sofia Cordoba.

The 57th CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The CD was mastered by Leszek Kami?ski and produced by Stephan Eicke and Zbigniew Preisner.
