Alfons Conde’s score evokes a superior blend of sympathy for the characters with its orchestral sound, well-balanced with some effective sound design. The first of two Alfons Conde cds coming this year (THE DARK HOUR in early May) the original score from the 2006 horror film, THE ABANDONED, is by the brilliant Spanish composer who we are very proud to introduce to the film music community. Conde has a richly textured symphonic style, making use of exciting orchestral colors and a expressive harmonic language. The score for THE ABANDONED was performed by the Moscow Symphony Orchestra and Keto Kelktiboa Choir and it’s indeed one of the finest horror scores we’ve come across recently. The composer also generously offers two bonus tracks on the album. The first one, “Adagio: Color of Time” is a moving string elegy which is an orchestral arrangement of the second movement from a string quartet Conde wrote for the Emerson String Quartet. The other one is a spectacular orchestral nine minute tour-de-force evoking the music of John Williams and Bruce Broughton: “Fireworks Overture”. - Coutesy of MovieScore Media
