CD1: BAROQUE
-
The recording sessions – headed by multiple Goya award winning sound engineer José Vinader – took place at the renowned Teatro Real in Madrid between July 16th and July 18th 2007. Conducted by José Antonio Montańo and performed by the Orquesta Escuela de la Sinfónica de Madrid, the soundtrack features three remarkable soloists: Margarita Sikoeva (violin), Dragos Balan (violoncello) and Riccardo Bini (piano).

The soundtrack features three songs (The True Nature Of Happiness, Guillotine – The Dance Of The Dead and Halfway There, Mostly Nowhere), originally performed live during the play – in Spanish – by actor Asier Etxeandia. The songs featured on the album were recorded in English by Benko. The latter also appears on The True Nature of Happiness – Reprise, an electronic adaptation of the aforementioned orchestral piece. Lastly, the album contains two percussive adaptations of the play’s themes: Beyond My Control and Guillotine.

The soundtrack, "...a tantamount 'protagonist' of the play" according to Delo (Slovenia) and "beautiful" according to El Confidencial (Spain), is one of Silence's most ambitious and complex works to date.
