Framed by Almodóvar’s saturated, performative world, Ryuichi Sakamoto’s score for Tacones Lejanos (High Heels), newly reissued by Quartet Records, layers melancholy minimalism and luminous melodrama, offering ornament rather than excess, with bolero and chanson threading through Sakamoto’s reflective atmospheres. The soundtrack’s architecture is subtle, emotionally surgical, quietly powerful in its dialogue with Luz Casal’s iconic voice.

Quartet Records, in collaboration with Universal Music Enterprises, Island Records and El Deseo, presents the remastered reissue of the music composed by Ryuichi Sakamoto (THE LAST EMPEROR, LITTLE BUDDHA, WUTHERING HEIGHTS) for Pedro Almodóvar’s 1989 cult classic, TACONES LEJANOS (aka HIGH HEELS), a noir melodrama starring Victoria Abril, Marisa Paredes and Miguel Bosé.

After his collaborations with Bernardo Bonezzi and Ennio Morricone, and before his long and successful partnership with Alberto Iglesias, Almodóvar worked with the young, Oscar-winning Japanese composer.

Sakamoto wrote a radiant melodramatic score whose main theme was immediately one of his hits. The album also includes the two songs performed by Luz Casal for the film (“Un año de amor” and “Piensa en mí”), which became instant icons of Spanish cinema.
