Editorial Reviews

Barcelona has long been considered one of the most romantic cities in the world - a place where the human heart has been known to explore new and uncharted territory, leaving any preconceptions about passion and romance forever changed. The city's timeless mystique makes it the perfect setting for director Woody Allen's newest film, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, a breezy romantic comedy starring Javier Bardem, Penélope Cruz and Scarlett Johansson.

The film's eclectic mix of music reflects the storyline's passionate yet lighthearted tone. The bouncy, Spanish-sung title song, "Barcelona," was written and recorded by Giulia y los Tellarini, a little-known indie band from Barcelona.

As might be expected from a collection of Spanish music, instrumental guitar pieces make up the lion's share of the soundtrack.

This cd has a great collection of Spanish Guitar classics from the masters (Juan Serrano, Isaac Albeniz, Paco de Lucia, Andres Segovia) and some great contemporary artists, as well. This soundtrack is fun, playful and sometimes blatantly passionate, bringing back great memories from Woody Allen's sexy film. Makes for delightful background music at parties, good company in the car or to be enjoyed with great focus on the ipod. I received this cd 3 weeks ago and I haven't been able to stop listening to it!!!

The music creates a gorgeous tapestry for the film. The music and film represent unbridled passion, emotion, and romance. I love it.
