Tirant lo blanc

  • hace 6 años
Vicente Aranda’s sweeping adaptation of this most famous novel in the Catalan language, Tirant Lo Blanc, was called “the best book of its kind in the world” by no less than Miguel de Cervantes himself in Don Quixote. It is the story of a knight, Tirant (Caspar Zafer), whose bravery is legendary across Europe. The Byzantine emperor asks Tirant’s help against the Turks, and thanks to his courage and military prowess the Turks are defeated; yet the external threats confronted by Tirant pale against the internal threats that begin to emerge due to all the intrigues swirling about the Imperial Court.

José Nieto is a Spanish composer specializing mostly in the composition of film music and television series. In 1958 he began playing drums in the musical group Los Pekenikes. Shortly after, he began to collaborate as arranger in different record companies with singers such as Julio Iglesias, Massiel, Nino Bravo or Marisol. In 1987 he composed the music of EL LUTE by Vicente Aranda, who recognized that he used music again in his cinema thanks to José Nieto. He maintained a permanent collaboration with Aranda on very significant soundtracks as AMANTES, LA PASIÓN TURCA, CARMEN or this one THE MAIDEN'S CONSPIRACY.
