Quartet Records and El Deseo present the soundtrack album for the eagerly anticipated new collaboration between acclaimed 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).
AMARGA NAVIDAD marks their fifteenth film together, following more than thirty years of intense collaboration and worldwide success with such films as ALL ABOUT MY MOTHER, TALK TO HER, VOLVER and PAIN AND GLORY.
The film explores cinema within cinema and the limits of creativity, as a successful director writes a screenplay based on the personal experiences of those around him?without considering the emotional consequences of his actions.
Alberto Iglesias has composed one of his most intense, emotional, dynamic, and vibrant large-scale orchestral scores?perhaps his finest to date?with echoes of Stravinsky, Ravel, and Debussy.
The album also includes a version of the classic song "Las pequenas cosas" by Chavela Vargas, performed by Amaia.
名高い映画監督ペドロ・アルモドバルと、アカデミー賞に4度ノミネートされた著名な作曲家アルベルト・イグレシアス（『君のためなら千回でも』、『ボルベール ＜帰郷＞』、『裏切りのサーカス』、『パラレル・マザーズ』）による、待望の新たなコラボレーション作品のサウンドトラック・アルバムがリリース！
トラックリスト『AMARGA NAVIDAD』は、30年以上にわたる緊密なコラボレーションと、『オール・アバウト・マイ・マザー』、『トーク・トゥ・ハー』、『ボルベール ＜帰郷＞』、『私が、生きる肌』といった作品による世界的な成功を経て、二人が手掛ける15作目の映画となる。
本作は、成功を収めたある監督が、周囲の人々の個人的な体験を基に脚本を執筆する過程で、自らの行動がもたらす感情的な影響を顧みない姿を描き、映画の中の映画というテーマと創造性の限界を探求している。
アルベルト・イグレシアスは、ストラヴィンスキー、ラヴェル、ドビュッシーの響きを織り交ぜながら、自身のキャリアの中でも最も強烈で、情感豊か、ダイナミックかつ活気に満ちた大規模なオーケストラ・スコア??おそらく現時点での最高傑作??を書き上げた。
また、このアルバムには、チャベラ・バルガスの名曲「Las pequenas cosas」をアマヤがカバーしたバージョンも収録されています。
