Biography
One of Spain's most prestigious composers, Alberto Iglesias has twice been nominated for both Academy Award and BAFTA Awards. The nominations were for his original scores to Marc Forster's The Kite Runner and Fernando Meirelles' The Constant Gardener, the latter also for Focus Features and also adapted from a John le Carré novel. The Constant Gardener also earned him two World Soundtrack Awards, for Best Original Soundtrack of the Year and Soundtrack Composer of the Year.
He is known to filmgoers around the world for his collaborations with Pedro Almodóvar. The two have to date done eight films together: The Flower of My Secret, Live Flesh, Bad Education, Volver, Broken Embraces, The Skin I Live In, and the Academy Award-winning All About My Mother and Talk to Her. For his scores to the latter duo as well as Volver and Broken Embraces, Mr. Iglesias was honored with four Goya Awards (Spain's equivalent of the Academy Award).
The composer has also worked extensively with another filmmaker, Julio Medem, winning four more Goya Awards for his scores to The Red Squirrel, Earth, The Lovers of the Arctic Circle, and Sex and Lucia.
Among the other films that Mr. Iglesias has scored are Steven Soderbergh's Che; Icíar Bollaín's Even the Rain, which recently brought him a ninth Goya Award; Bigas Luna's The Chambermaid on the Titanic; John Malkovich's The Dancer Upstairs; Oliver Stone's Comandante; Icíar Bollaín's Goya Award-winning Take My Eyes; and, most recently, Dominik Moll's The Monk.
In the ballet world, he has composed and produced pieces for choreographer Nacho Duato and the National Dance Company. These works have been performed worldwide; among them are "Cautiva"; "Tabulae"; "Cero Sobre Cero"; and "Self."
