THE ROOM NEXT DOOR

Quartet Records, in collaboration with El Deseo, present the soundtrack album from the highly anticipated new collaboration between Academy Award-winning director Pedro Almodovar and renowned four-time Academy Award-nominated composer Alberto Iglesias (THE CONSTANT GARDENER, THE KITE RUNNER, TINKER TAILOR SOLDIER SPY, PARALLEL MOTHERS) for THE ROOM NEXT DOOR, their fourteenth film together, following thirty years of intense collaboration and worldwide success with such films as ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, TALK TO HER and PAIN AND GLORY.

The film, which won the Golden Lion for Best Picture at the Venice Film Festival, is Almodovar’s first English-language film and stars Julianne Moore, Tilda Swinton and John Turturro. The story follows Ingrid (Moore) and Martha (Swinton), who were close friends in their youth when they worked together at the same magazine. Ingrid became a fiction writer, while Martha became a war reporter, and they were separated by circumstances. After years out of touch, they meet again in an extreme but strangely sweet situation.

Loyal collaborator Alberto Iglesias has written one of his most intense, emotional and moving large-scale orchestral scores. It is a second skin for the emotions of the characters?subtle, delicate and elegant. The music was recorded at Air Studios in London under the composer’s baton.
