Скачать или смотреть Arnau Bataller - "Cthulhu" from LA HERENCIA VALDEMAR II (2010)

The climactic piece of LA HERENCIA VALDEMAR II: La Sombra Prohibida, "Cthulhu" is a composition of masterful talent and quality. The outstanding, mile-a-minute reprise of the film's main themes in the opening minute three-and-a-half minutes is only the beginning however as BATALLER subdues the orchestra, preparing the listener for what is one of the most gloriously compelling finales ever heard in a film score. Out of the ashes of the horror, "Cthulhu" rises into a dazzling, majestic and unequivocally exquisite final three minutes of heavenly string harmonies. Hearing the strings erupt in all their divinity in the final minute, it is clear that the entire score ha been leading up to this painfully fleeting moment of unsurpassed celebration of BATALLER's talent. As the strings strain to maintain such agonizing beauty it becomes abundantly clear that BATALLER has truly reached beyond the spectrum that this film can ever reach. The tragedy here is that most will never bear witness to such magnificence as it is constrained by the limited distribution of the film worldwide.

In an ideal world, LA SOMBRA PROHIBIDA would be ARNAU BATALLER announcing himself on the world stage; his talents clearly deserve significant success. Nonetheless, ARNAU BATALLER is surely in line for great things and is one to watch for the future. In LA HERENCIA VALDEMAR II, BATALLER has produced a score that any of the great Hollywood composers of today and yesteryear would be proud to call their own.
