Alberto Iglesias is a spanish movie score composer. He has composed scores for The Constant Gardener, The Kite Runner, Lucía y el Sexo (Sex and Lucia), and Almodovar’s Todo Sobre mi Madre (All About my Mother) La Mala Educación (Bad Education), Hable con Ella (Talk to Her) Volver, Broken Embraces, Che Part One and Two and most recently The Skin I Live In.

Spain’s most acclaimed living composer, Alberto Iglesias, was born in San Sebastian in 1955. His early musical training included the piano, guitar and composition as well as electronic music studies. He first wrote for film in 1980.

    tinker tailor soldier spy is just another amazing work from alberto iglesias... being a keen listener of his works in los amantes del círculo polar, some days ago I went to see the movie without knowing that he made the music. when the movie and thus the music started, it sounded awkwardly familiar to me. some seconds later, when it wrote "music by alberto iglesias" on the screen, I was like, "I knew it!!! heeeelllll yeeeaaaah!!!" and my friend and my sister looked at me weirdly, but, oh, anyway. I simply love his works. let's see if he's gonna win the oscar tonight. but no matter he wins or not, it is clear that he is a musical genius. me encanta esta banda sonora, cómo las otras de él. es claro que él es realmente un genio musical...

    Why are the tags being changed on some TTSS tracks to include their track number??

    I also loved the score for The Skin I Live In; such beautiful music. Shame the full OST isn't available on Spotify, but at least it means that I'm exploring the back catalogue. :)

    and once again, his music is calming me down and is giving me the "comfort in being sad". i simply adore his work in the soundtracks of los amantes del circulo polar. just can't describe how it makes me feel. simply love it.

    i love his work since the moment i heard it in the lovers of the arctic circle. however, sinitaivas is not among his work. the song belongs to olavi virta, a finnish singer.
