Oscar, una Pasión Surrealista

"Óscar, una Pasión Surrealista" is a captivating orchestral journey composed by Diego Navarro, originally crafted as the soundtrack for the 2008 biopic of the same name. The album, released on February 15, 2008, under Diego Navarro's own label, is a testament to the composer's versatility and depth, featuring a symphony of 33 tracks that span a total duration of 1 hour and 11 minutes. The score masterfully intertwines two parallel narratives: the bohemian life of Spanish surrealist painter Óscar Domínguez in 1920s Paris, and the contemporary story of Ana, a Madrid-based lawyer grappling with a grave illness as she seeks a mysterious, undiscovered painting by Domínguez.

Navarro's compositions are a rich tapestry of orchestral and choral arrangements, showcasing his ability to evoke both the vibrant, surrealist spirit of early 20th-century Paris and the introspective, poignant journey of Ana. The album opens with "Cadavre Exquis" and closes with the bonus track "Le Trou De La Serrure," taking listeners through a diverse range of moods and atmospheres. Each track, from the haunting "L'Appel De La Mort" to the evocative "La Couleur Du Destin (Tema Central)," offers a unique glimpse into the film's narrative and the surrealist aesthetic that inspired it.

Diego Navarro, known for his work on films like 'Puerta del tiempo' and 'Mira la luna,' brings his signature depth and sensitivity to this score. "Óscar, una Pasión Surrealista" is not just a collection of songs but a cohesive musical narrative that stands alone as a powerful piece of orchestral art. Whether you're a fan of film scores, classical music, or the surrealist movement, this album offers a rich and rewarding listening experience.
