Vicky Cristina Barcelona (Soundtrack)
Beautiful score for the forthcoming new Woody Allen film Vicky Cristina Barcelona, a breezy romantic comedy starring Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson. The film opens here on 26.12.08, but the soundtrack is available now! The film’s eclectic mix of music reflects the storyline’s passionate yet lighthearted tone. As might be expected from a collection of Spanish music, instrumental guitar pieces make up the lion’s share of the soundtrack which features songs from flamenco virtuoso’s Juan Serrano & Paco de Lucia, mixing alongside the passionate gypsy guitar of the Biel Ballester Trio.
“By compiling the tunes of a few known players and composers with the tunes of relative unknowns, (I’ve) found myself with one of the most lovely scores in all of my films. It’s an eclectic mix, to be sure, but mostly Spanish and reflecting the feeling of Spain – or certainly Barcelona as I’ve portrayed it.”
