Free Music Notes for Songs of Almodovar
Free Music Review: A Must!!!
Hit: 5 Stars
A few years ago i discovered Almodovar's films and i was enchanted, not only because of the stories and the wonderful direction, as well by the awesome performances but because of the beautiful music. The songs Almodovar chooses for his films have a double value: first of all, because they are an integral part of the stories, and second, `cause Pedro saves songs and performers who we, sadly, have forgotten.
The songs in this compilation, evoque the very best moments in Pedro's Films, but even then, they have a life of their own, I must confess that ever since I bought this cd (two weeks ago) I've listen it at least fifteen times and still I can't get out of my head those beautiful boleros and rancheras songs in the cd.
Maybe the only flaw of the disc are the eclectic songs by the duo Almodóvar/McNamara, which, personally, I'd take off, however, we are talking about a compilation of Almodovar's films, and we must include them so we can talk of his early movies.
Songs like Lo Dudo (my personal favourite), Año de Amor, Piensa en Mí, En el Último Trago, and of course Puro Teatro and Ne Me Quitte Pas, make this CD an excelent purchase. It doesn't matter the language you speak or if you don't understant note ven a "Gracias" in Spanish, the performances worth it for themselves, music is the universal language, and this is the best proof of it.
Now, about this compilation, we must consider that we are talking about a CD that first came to sell around 1997, therefore (unfortunately) we won't find music from his recent films (Live Flash, All About my Mother, Talk to Her, Bad Education and Volver -Return-), although I would recommend to "add" Somos (by Chavela Vargas), Tajabone (Ismael Lo), Cucurrucucu Paloma (Caetano Veloso), Quizás Quizás Quizás (Sara Montiel) and Volver (Estrella Morente) respectively.
Hace algunos años conocí el cine de Almodóvar y quedé encantado, no sólo por las historias y la magnífica dirección, sino también por la música en ellas. Las canciones que Almodóvar escoge para sus películas tienen un doble valor: primero, son parte integral de las historias y segundo, rescata canciones e intérpretes a los que lamentablemente hemos olvidado.
Las canciones invariablemente me hacen evocar los films, pero tienen vida propia, debo confesar que desde que lo compré lo he escuchado más de quince veces y aún no me puedo sacar de la cabeza los hermosos boleros y las canciones rancheras que incluye.
Si acaso, el único defecto del disco son las eclécticas canciones de la dupla Almodóvar/McNamara, que personalmente quitaría, sin embargo hablamos de una compilación de la música de las películas de Pedro, e invariablemente se deben incluír al hablar de sus primeras películas.
Canciones como Lo Dudo (mi favorita del disco), Año de Amor, Piensa en Mí, En el Último Trago, Puro Teatro y Ne Me Quitte Pas, hacen de este CD una excelente compra. No importa el idioma que hables o si de españos no entiendes ni un "Gracias", las interpretaciones valen por sí mismas, la música es un lenguaje universal y esta es la clara muestra de ello.
Con respecto a la compilación, hay que considerar, antes que nada, que se trata de un cd que salió a la venta en 1997, así que (lamentablemente) no podremos encontrar música de sus films más recientes (Carne Trémula, Todo Sobre mi Madre, Hable con Ella, La Mala Educación y Volver), aunque recomendaría "agregar" Somos (Chavela Vargas), Tajabone (Ismael Lo), Cucurrucucu Paloma (Caetano Veloso), Quizás Quizás Quizás (Sara Montiel) y Volver (Estrella Morente) respectivamente.
