Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Hable Con Ella extends the rewarding collaboration begun on 1995's The Flower of My Secret. Composer Alberto Iglesias infuses director Pedro Almodovar's latest meditation on love, obsession and loss with a score of quiet, sophisticated grace. It ranges from the evocative Spanish guitar, violin and vocal flourishes of "Hable Con Ella" (showcasing contemporary flamenco stars Vincente Amigo and El Pele) and Brazilian vocalist Caetano Veloso's gorgeously spare rendition of the international hit "Cucurrucucu Paloma" to the Latin classicism of Ellis Regina and Tom Jobim's "Por Toda a Minha Vida" and a slate of moody, string-driven, autumnal orchestral cues.

The eight-minute "El Amante Menguante" for string quartet features compelling, almost playful modern flourishes while tracks like "Trincheras/Decadence" and the tense "A Portagayola" suggest a rewarding Spanish take on Hitchcockian romance and suspense. That it all meshes almost seamlessly with Purcell's closing "The Plaint: O Let Me Weep.." is ample testimony to the transnational flavour and ever-subtle mastery Iglesias brings to bear here. --Jerry McCulley

5.0 out of 5 stars A beautiful soundtrack for a beautiful movie, 2 Aug 2002
By Daniela Pinto (Lisbon, Portugal) - See all my reviews
There is only one word to describe this soundtrack: beautiful! The songs reflect the story of "Habla con Ella". Almodovar proves, once again, he is one of the most brilliant directors of the last century. His movies are about feelings and the ways to show them, without any prejudices or shame; about loneliness, friendship and love; death and life. Delight yourselves with Caetano Veloso or Ellis Regina. Just to name 2 examples of this brilliant album. What more can I say...Habla con Ella fills your soul in a beautiful way!
