Original score from the 2008 drama feature film directed by Carlos Coelho da Silva, starring Sandra Barata Belo, Carla Chambel and Ricardo Carriço.

THE STORY: The story of singing legend Amália Rodrigues who ruled the famous Portuguese acoustic guitar and vocals based music genre called fado.

THE SCORE: If you have already checked out Julgamento, you know that Nuno Malo is a melody-driven composer who has a very firm belief in the role of strong themes – Amália showcases this even more, and is at the same time a very romantic, beautiful score where Malo’s rich string writing forms the backbone of the music. Among the many gorgeous compositions on the album are two versions of “Lament: Fado Dos Meus Erros” – the main theme of the score which is presented in two versions of which one features a very moving cello solo by Tina Guo.
