An absolute surprise.
This is the feeling which prevails once heared the twelve cues (not eleven, as written on the booklet backcover) who shape Joan Vives' music for Joaquín Oristrell's comedy. Surprise for the level, both sonic and aesthetic of the record; surprise for the terrific score, if well this may be guilty of a slight lack of stylistic unity, on the other side nothing annoying; surprise to find suck a delight on the market. Using the concourse of the City of Prague Orchestra, whose sound manner helps quite a lot, Vives shows that he knows well the film music language and his main authors, already from the initial theme-waltz (Desde el Futuro) which he will use along the record, as well for little touches and gestures proper of some classical masters. But besides all this, there are two adequate songs written by Vives himself, the second of them (which, apart from using the title of the movie, close the record) performed by Javier Gurruchaga and the Orquesta Mondragón.
An absolute surprise. M.A.F.
