"All about my mother is one of the best 1999 films. And so it's this soundtrack. Alberto Iglesias did a marvellous job turning into music the emotions of the film. The dramatic songs in this album certainly evoke a sense of longing present in the movie. Every one who loved this movie - the deepest, honest and maturest in Almodovar's career - must buy this CD."

Simply Wonderful MUSIC

""Todo sobre mi madre", is the perfect complement for the movie with the same name. Alberto Iglesias (Spain 1955) manages him self to create a superb Soundtrack that made us - all the ones that enjoyed the movie first than the audio CD - love and treasure this MUSIC. The perfect mix between the music and the movie is proven all over the film, since the beginning. The scene when the main character is going back to Barcelona, when the wise chosen "Ismael Lo" (Africa 1960) performs his Tajabone, was a breath taking moment for everyone at the movie theatre... we could hear the wows! coming out everyone's mouth, after the camera (and the music) flies over Barcelona and later on the typical architecture of the city. The rest of the music is just a very nice complement to the drama in the movie, but acts like another character too. Without this wonderful music we will have an empty movie. I strongly suggest this CD to any "Todo sobre mi madre" lover and/or an Iglesias (Talk to her, The red squirrel, Lovers of the artic circle, ...) followers..."

"I am a young male from New Jersey. I grew up entirely in English, and only recently have I found myself deeply engrossed in my Castilian studies of Spanish. I really owe it all to Todo Sobre Mi Madre. An absolutely, incredible film which takes you on a journey you will never forget, into the mind of its main protagonist, Manuela. On the emotional roller coaster that is Manuela's life we are accompanied by some of the most entrancing music I have ever heard. The simple meoldic hooks on the piano, the complex music of the violin, and the sound of Spain in the subtle guitar. The whole movie is an absolute feast for the senses, and the music is no exception. This soundtrack is wonderful, and I suggest it for all."
