Press Release from Quartet:
Quartet Records, in collaboration with MOD Producciones, presents the soundtrack album for the eagerly awaited new film by Oscar-winning director Alejandro Amenábar, EL CAUTIVO, starring Julio Peña, Alessandro Borgui, Roberto Álamo, Fernando Tejero and Miguel Rellán. The film tells an unusual and never-before-told chapter in the life of Miguel de Cervantes, who in 1575 is taken prisoner and sold to the fearsome Hassan, Bey of Algiers. While awaiting a ransom, he discovers an unexpected refuge in the art of storytelling ... and hatches a daring escape plan.
The score has been composed by Alejandro Amenábar himself, as he had done previously with great success in some of his own films (TESIS, THE OTHERS, THE SEA INSIDE) and others (BUTTERFLIES TONGUE, NOBODY KNOWS ANYONE).
Supervised and produced by Lucio Godoy and recorded at Abbey Road Studios in London, Amenábar’s music perfectly sets the mood and situation of the characters, as well as the location and plot, with a sumptuous, romantic and melodic score, like good old-fashioned film music.
