DESCRIPTION

Quartet Records and El Deseo present the soundtrack album for the eagerly anticipated new collaboration between acclaimed director Pedro Almodóvar 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 pequeñas cosas” by Chavela Vargas, performed by Amaia.

Remastered in high resolution by José Luis Crespo, this is a limited-edition 2xLP gatefold set on 140-gram blue vinyl or 140-gram black vinyl. The blue vinyl cover features the official movie poster, designed by Javier Jaén. The black vinyl cover features the alternate teaser poster, also designed by Javie Jaén.
