Caldera Records proudly presents Zbigniew Preisner's score for Gianluca Minucci's “Europa Centrale.” It is the early months of the Second World War. An exiled communist couple is on a train to Ljubljana. Driven by their fragile ideals, they are on a mission that might kill them. Their fellow travelers might not be their allies. One false step and their fate is sealed. The atmosphere is dense with fear. Outside, the war is raging. Does humanism have a chance of survival? Will they be able to make it? Zbigniew Preisner decided to use a choir, a string quintet and electronic instruments for a quasi-opera that provides the atmosphere for individual scenes and also captures the mood of the film as a whole to draw out its meaning for the time we live in. While the choir is mostly wordless, the composer in specific instances gave them a few carefully chosen phrases such as “pianto” (“cry”) and “pianto antico” (“ancient cry”) as well as “silenzio” (“silence”). The haunting finale uses words by Dante Alighieri’s “Divine Comedy.” While the circumstances of the heroes in the period film are not in itself a laughing matter, the landscapes in which they and we move is marked by a grim absurdity, as Preisner elaborates: “The best musical form to convey this is opera, though stripped down, because both wartime and our present time were, and are, marked by austerity. That’s why a string quintet plays in place of a full orchestra, with modern electronic elements supporting it. The only element that retains its grandeur is the choir, which sings just a few words—because in the beginning, there was the word.” Zbigniew Preisner’s “Europa Centrale” is one of his most inspired works, a delicate, intricate and poignant comment on the fragility of our existence as individuals and societies. The 59th CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The CD was mastered by Leszek Kaminski and produced by Stephan Eicke and Zbigniew Preisner.

Caldera Records proudly presents Diego Baldenweg with Nora Baldenweg & Lionel Baldenweg’s score for “In the Land of Saints & Sinners.” Director Robert Lorenz created a noir western that plays with genre elements: Following a bombing in Belfast four members of the Provisional Irish Republican Army (IRA) go into hiding in the Irish coastal town of Glencolmcille—the law knows no mercy for killer terrorists. The group, including Doireann’s brother, Curtis (Desmond Eastwood), briefly find refuge, but unbeknownst to them, Finbar Murphy (Liam Neeson), an assassin who works for a local gangster, lives in the vicinity. After being introduced to director Robert Lorenz long before “In the Land of Saints and Sinners” entered production, the Swiss/Australian siblings Diego, Nora and Lionel Baldenweg had a lengthy conversation about life and movies. Lorenz liked the siblings and was impressed by their previous work. Then when the film was nearing production, he invited them to sketch out some music based on the script. The composers focused on the characters, on developing solid themes and motifs. The ‘In The Land of Saints’ leitmotif for Liam Neeson’s character is one of them, and it appears in colorful variations in several tracks. While it reflects the deep melancholy expressed by Neeson’s face, it also perfectly captures Murphy’s determination, strong will, and great desire for freedom. Making the music for “In the Land of Saints and Sinners” was a unique family project. Even more so, because the sibling’s father, Pfuri came on board. He plays all of the harmonica parts, giving a one of a kind signature to the soundtrack with his many playing techniques. The western elements in the score—the aggressively threatening ‘Intruders’ plays almost like an homage to Ennio Morricone’s ‘Man with the Harmonica’—are infused with Celtic elements, subtle as they often are. The orchestra—consisting, among other things, of 56 strings, eleven woodwinds, and ten brass instruments—was recorded at Galaxy Studios in Belgium and conducted by the acclaimed conductor Dirk Brossé. The 58th CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The album was mastered by Patricia Sullivan and produced by Diego Baldenweg with Nora Baldenweg & Lionel Baldenweg. The CD was produced by Stephan Eicke and John Elborg.

Caldera Records proudly presents Zbigniew Preisner’s score for Fernando Trueba’s movie “Haunted Heart.” Trueba’s Highsmith- and Hitchcock-inspired suspense thriller tells the story of Alex (Aida Folch), a young woman who moves to an island in Greece to work at a restaurant. There, she meets the mysterious Max (Matt Dillon), her superior. While everybody warns her against him, Alex can not resist his charisma and quickly falls in love. When the restaurant closes in winter, and the couple is among the only ones who stay on the island, Alex discovers haunting secrets about her partner that threaten to destroy their relationship - and Alex. “Haunted Heart” reunites Trueba and his composer Zbigniew Preisner, who made a name for himself internationally with Kieslowski’s “Dekalog” and the “Three Colours Trilogy.” For his new film, Preisner developed a sultry and suspenseful score that captures the thrill of a blossoming relationship and the danger that Alex finds herself in. As Preisner elaborates: “I wrote the music from the perspective of mystery that is present all the time in Max and Alex’s relationship. Alex, a young, open woman full of emotions, is entangled in those secrets. I wanted to describe the mystery that entwines their relationship musically.” For that purpose, the composer used an orchestra, solo woodwinds, and electronic instruments. One of the highlights of the score is his new arrangement of Leonard Cohen’s “Alexandra Leaving,” here recorded by guitarist Javier Mas and singer Sofia Cordoba. The 57th CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The CD was mastered by Leszek Kamiński and produced by Stephan Eicke and Zbigniew Preisner.

Caldera Records is proud to present David Shire’s score for the TV movie “Small Vices.” Robert B. Parker’s novels, which featured the Boston detective Spenser, not only achieved long-lasting success in the US but also sparked a resurgence in the hardboiled detective genre. “Small Vices” was the first of three adaptations for television from the late 1990s and early 2000s. David Shire’s score is an elaborate gem for he was able to showcase his jazz expertise again. The score’s recurring theme for the titular character accurately conveys Spenser’s world-weariness and toughness while also paying tribute to his grace and refined tastes. The use of a jazz combo in the music for “Small Vices” is reminiscent of the classic genre conventions of the 1970s. However, the composer does not rely on nostalgia. His music occupies a unique space between two worlds. It evokes the music of days gone by while incorporating modern and vibrant orchestral music. The aggressive ostinatos employed in the orchestration are similar to those found in bigger-budgeted thrillers of that era. Shire masterfully blends the old and new, creating a cohesive and seamless sound. This is most noticeable in cues that subtly incorporate synthesizers and a drum kit, which were commonly used in television at that time. Unfortunately, David Shire’s score for “Thin Air,” the follow-up to “Small Vices,” is missing. Therefore, we were unable to add it to the album. As a replacement, we opted to combine “Small Vices” with pieces that share the same essence. Thus, we created an homage to his jazz-oriented scores from the 1990s, which includes “Jake’s Women,” “Broadway Bound” and “Texan.” The 56th CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The CD was mastered by Richard Moore and produced by Stephan Eicke and David Shire.

Caldera Records is proud to present Loek Dikker’s score for the film “Diva Dolorosa.” Peter Delpeut’s work is a mesmerising found footage collage he assembled in the late 1990s after a flame of passion had been ignited within him: The filmmaker had watched “Rapsodia Satanica,” an expressive and exuberant melodrama with a staggering performance by Lydia Borelli as the leading lady, who had thrown herself into the role of the doomed femme fatale – the “diva.” Previously unaware of the subgenre of the “Diva Film,” Delpeut started to seek out similar works. He quickly found they were like operas. Everything was heightened, and the actresses seemed to dance on every individual frame. Delpeut created “Diva Dolorosa,” for which he assembled individual scenes from “Diva Films.” He put together a new work, a story in the tradition of the Italian classics, for which he needed the appropriate music. Delpeut entrusted experienced composer Loek Dikker with this Herculean task. The film required a wall-to-wall score, as expressive and lush as an opera. It became his magnum opus, a tribute to the great operas of the late 19th century with subtle jazz influences as they were invoked by, among others, Maurice Ravel and Darius Milhaud in the 1920s. Keen film music enthusiasts might even discover some hints of Nino Rota in the vaudeville music. Dikker’s score has it all – instrumental arias, jazz, vaudeville, and even some polyphony. It is the work the composer is proudest of, and indeed, it stands as a towering achievement in his impressive oeuvre. The 55th CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The CD was mastered by Richard Moore and produced by Stephan Eicke and John Elborg.

Caldera Records is proud to present David Shire’s score for the TV pilot “Three for the Road.” “Three for the Road” (1975) was an ambitious idea, a road trip as a family show, mostly shot on location throughout the US. While the show allowed for levity throughout, at its heart it dealt with loss and the desire to (re-)connect. Pete (Alex Rocco) is the kind of father every kid wants to have. He is kind and cool. He lets his two boys ride a motorcycle, while always providing emotional support when needed. And needed it often is, as his two kids, John (Vincent Van Paten) and Endy (Leif Garrett), have recently lost their mother. Now the three live in a recreational vehicle in which they drive through the United States while Pete takes on commissions as a photographer. While Bruce Broughton provided the music for the individual episodes, David Shire was contracted to score the pilot. His score is built around his main theme, a memorable, uplifting piece that makes its appearance throughout the pilot, and with its use of guitar featuring subtle folk elements. It’s a varied score also incorporating lounge jazz pieces, and for the more intimate moments, elaborate string writing. In addition, we also include music from “The Greatest Thing That Almost Happened” and “Daddy, I Don’t Like It Like This,” two TV movies that also deal with trauma. For the former, Shire provided a rousing, energetic sports score with gentler, tender moments to illustrate the illness of the main character. Shire’s score for the latter film is built around a lullaby-like main theme, often performed on a solo instrument such as a clarinet or piano. This music perfectly captures both the main protagonist Peter’s child-like wonder and also the longing of his parents. The theme is used, for example, both as Peter escapes into the woods and as his father lays on his bed, indulging in his memories of happier times when everything seemed possible. The boy’s escapes enable Shire to infuse his compositions with drive and verve that make “Daddy, I Don’t Like It Like This” an eclectic listening experience.

Jein: Wenn sie sich schlecht verkauft, werden wir nicht nachpressen

Caldera Records is proud to present the original film recording of Roy Budd’s score for the film “Soldier Blue.” Ralph Nelson’s violent western starring Peter Strauss, Candice Bergen and Donald Pleasance, is both an indictment against the US army that was responsible for the Sand Creek Massacre as well as an allegory to the My Lai Massacre. How the former child-prodigy Roy Budd, the then 22-year old from Croydon, secured the gig for “Soldier Blue” is by now widely known, not least because the composer himself would share the anecdote with great wit in interviews: Upon hearing that the director was looking for a composer to score his upcoming western, Budd supplied him with a tape of his work as a showreel. Unbeknownst to director Ralph Nelson and others involved in hiring the composer, none of the music featured on said showreel was actually composed by Budd. Instead, he had taped compositions by Jerry Goldsmith, Elmer Bernstein, Lalo Schifrin and Henry Mancini. Unsurprisingly considering the selection, Nelson was convinced Budd was the right choice to score “Soldier Blue.” Budd delivered a memorable, energetic and varied score that can bear comparison with Goldsmith’s, Bernstein’s, Schifrin’s and Mancini’s efforts from the time. It is an astonishing work, especially considering it was composed by a 22-year-old. Its mix of differing musical elements and styles is particularly noteworthy, in that Budd pays homage to the classic Americana of Jerry Goldsmith and Elmer Bernstein while employing jazz and pop music sensibilities with a strong sense of rhythm. In that sense, “Soldier Blue” is not dissimilar to Quincy Jones’ groundbreaking “MacKenna’s Gold” and Piero Piccioni’s “Minnesota Clay,” which fused symphonic music with jazz as well as pop elements, and thus introduced a new approach to the western genre. It is not surprising that several compositions for “Soldier Blue” were re-recorded in pop arrangements and released on PYE Records, with which label Roy Budd was under contract at the time. We are delighted to finally make Roy Budd’s original film recording for “Soldier Blue” available. The recording was long considered lost before we unearthed the mono copies from Budd’s estate, in a storage container in North Yorkshire. Unfortunately, a few pieces were missing (such as ‘Fields of Green and Skies of Blue’), while only a short selection was available on a separate stereo tape. We have included those pieces as a bonus.

Caldera Records is proud to present David Shire’s score for the motion picture “Runaway”. It is David Shire’s first feature film score, recorded in early 1961, barely two years after the young composer had graduated from Yale University. Forgotten even by Shire himself, “Runaway” is an obscure debut by the composer who would go on to provide music to celebrated productions such as Francis Ford Coppola’s “The Conversation,” Joseph Sargent’s “The Taking of Pelham 1-2-3,” and David Fincher’s “Zodiac.” David Shire had been asked by a friend to compose and record original music for an independent, low-budget neo-noir film entitled Runaway. While the film was never distributed, and no details about the project could be unearthed, the original recording tapes were found in Shire’s archive in early 2023. Even the composer himself had forgotten about this obscurity. As he admits: “The arrangements are quite skillful, and I’m surprised I knew that much at that time.” With a project as humble as “Runaway,” a career in film and television seemed far-fetched at the time. Indeed, it took a few more years for Shire to truly make his mark. Instead, he made his living as a rehearsal and dance class pianist through the early to mid-60s while slowly edging closer to what he hoped would be a career on The Great White Way. He subsequently met Stephen Sondheim who introduced Shire to director Paul Bogart. It was Bogart who then hired Shire for the first ever “CBS Playhouse” episode, “The Final War of Olly Winter.” His early television work would lead to bigger and better things for David Shire’s tapes for the “CBS Playhouse” episodes were the perfect audition material. They showed the composer’s impressive range. For “The Final War of Olly Winter,” he was asked to provide a score influenced by traditional Vietnamese music. For “Sadbird,” Shire and Maltby Jr. penned three pop songs, while “Appalachian Autumn” is inspired by the pastoral Americana made popular in the 20th century by Aaron Copland. “The Experiment” is tuneful “muzak,” as Shire himself labels it; whereas “Secrets” is a subdued effort with subtle dissonances and jazz elements, one cue from which was an homage to Burt Bacharach, a lounge piece as source music that was inspired by the legendary tunesmith. We are pleased to release David Shire’s early works for the first time. Not one note of the pieces contained herein have previously been released in any format.

C6051 Caldera Records is proud to present Loek Dikker’s score for the motion picture “Rosenstrasse,” directed by Margarethe von Trotta and starring Katja Riemann and Maria Schrader. The film tells an extraordinary story about the defiance of women: In the centre stands Ruth, a Jewish mother living in New York. Her daughter Hannah one day finds out that her mother was sent to the United States by her aunt during the Second World War. The true story unfolds in front of Hannah’s eyes as she decides to track down Lena. Ruth’s mother had been captured by the Nazis and imprisoned in a factory building in Rosenstrasse. Ruth and Lena were connected by their fate: Although Lena was German and member of the aristocracy, her husband Fabian was Jewish and kept prisoner in the same building as Ruth’s mother. Desperate to see their Jewish men freed, a group of women assembled in front of the factory building in Rosenstrasse for a growing protest in the course of which they put their own lives on the line. For the German-Dutch co-production, director Margarethe von Trotta relied on Loek Dikker to provide the music, the Netherlands’ most renowned composer for film and television who had celebrated international successes with Paul Verhoeven’s film “The Fourth Man” and Eric Red’s “Body Parts” (released on CD by Varèse Sarabande in the US). “Rosenstrasse” is the work in film he is most proud of – and for good reason. His orchestral composition is complex and rich – searing yet unsentimental. It is primarily his achievement that “Rosenstrasse” is not a manipulative tearjerker for his music strikes just the right balance between drawing out the emotions, expressing the horror of war, and underlining the initial feeling of powerlessness in an oppressive system by giving room to silence. The 51st CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas.

Caldera Records is proud to present David Shire’s score for the television movie “Killer Bees,” directed by Curtis Harrington and starring Gloria Swanson, Edward Albert and Kate Jackson. A salesman is killed by a violent swarm of bees. Why? Young Edward Van Bohlen and his fiancée Victoria only hear rumors of said incident when they arrive in the sleepy town which is home to Edward’s family. Do they have anything to do with the bees that are responsible for an innocent person’s death? They do seem to harbor secrets, and they are particularly suspicious of Victoria – who feels increasingly uneasy in the family’s villa. “Killer Bees” fits neatly into the category of eco-thrillers that were especially popular in the 1970s. Directed by Curtis Harrington and shown as ABC’s Movie of the Week in February 1974, the film boasts a stellar cast, including Gloria Swanson as the family matriarch with a special bond with bees. The most thrilling aspect of this family drama though is David Shire’s music, which gives the film the energy it otherwise lacks. It is an often aggressive, suspenseful score for small orchestra that, with its short motifs and ostinatos for strings evocative of those employed in Hitchcock’s “Psycho,” pays tribute to the music of Bernard Herrmann. The references to “Psycho” are particularly evident in “Killer Bees,” as Shire admits: “I was very aware of that. Of course I was inspired by Bernard Herrmann. I love his film scores. He really showed me how to do a score that wasn’t a big Max Steiner score. He showed me that you could do it with motifs.” The TV movies of the 70s saw Shire do some of his strongest work, of which “Killer Bees” is only one example. As a bonus, we include selections from Shire’s scores for the early-70s television movies “Isn’t It Shocking?” and “Harpy.” The 50th CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The CD was mastered by Richard Moore and produced by Stephan Eicke, David Shire and John Elborg.

Ich bin nicht sicher, ob ich deinen Punkt verstehe. Was soll sie sonst machen? Filme inszenieren? Kochbücher schreiben? In einer Werkstatt Autos reparieren? Sie nutzt jene Tür, die ihr noch offensteht, so wie wir alle stets versucht sind, es zu tun

Natürlich können wir nur beurteilen, was bzgl. ihrer Vorbereitung auf das Cosplay-Konzert gezeigt wird. Und das ist nun doch sehr wenig. Field zeichnet gegen Ende ein Bild von jenen Menschen, die noch bereit sind, Lydia Dienste zu erweisen (bezeichnend diesbezüglich die kurze Szene mit den Masseusinnen). Die musikalische Vorbereitung wird da nur gestreift, was im starken Kontrast zu Mahler und Co. an sich schon interessant und bezeichnend ist. Als Dirigentin muss sie die Partitur studieren - dass sie es "genau wie bei Mahler" macht, ist mir nicht ersichtlich. Warum sie nimmt, was sie kriegen kann? Weil Lydia Tár ein starkes Geltungsbedürfnis hat, wie der Film eindrücklich aufzeigt (und damit einhergehend nach Machtausübung - eine meiner Lieblingsszenen ist da jene auf dem Schulhof). Machstrukturen gibt es in jedem Bereich des Lebens, man kann nach ihnen nicht süchtig sein. Aber in der Musik ist sie zuhause. Dass Lydia die Videospielmusik, die sie nun digieren "muss", nicht schmeckt, leite ich aus der frühen Szene in der Juilliard School ab, in der sie sich abschätzig über neuere (und auch über Film-) Musik äußert. Aber das ist nun eben das, was ihr bleibt. Es unterstreicht ihren tiefen Fall auf der wackeligen Cosplay-Bühne doppelt.

Wenn ich mich da ganz kurz einschalten darf, da mir der Film ebenfalls sehr imponiert hat und mich Sebastians Interpretation interessiert, gerade in Bezug auf die letzte Szene: TÁR macht ja in seinen zweieinhalb Stunden davor deutlich, dass es Lydia eben nicht um die Liebe zur Musik geht, sondern um die Liebe zu sich selbst als gnadenlose Narzisstin, die sich durch das Leben lügt, um ihre Bedürfnisse befriedigt zu bekommen. Würde es ihr um die Musik gehen, hätte sie ja Kaplan nicht vom Podium geschubst, sondern Mahler spielen lassen. Es geht nicht um Mahler, es geht um SIE. So ordnet sie nicht ihr Ego für Videospielmusik unter. Sie strebt auf die Bühne, und jene Bühne ist nach ihrem tiefen Sturz die einzige (oder einfachste) Möglichkeit, wieder auf den Brettern zu stehen. Überall anders ist sie verbrannt. Sie nimmt, was sie kriegen kann, so wie sie es immer getan hat. (Videospiel)musik ist Mittel zum Zweck - das ist nur konsequent in Bezug auf alles vorher gezeigte. Stephan

C6049 Caldera Records is proud to present Roy Budd’s score for the motion picture “Welcome to Blood City”, directed by Peter Sasdy and starring Jack Palance, Keir Dullea and Samantha Eggar. The characters of the latter two wake up on a beach one day as part of a group of strangers. None of them can remember who they are or recognise where they are. Things don’t become clearer to them as they run into two men who swiftly rape the woman and shoot one of the strangers. They are eventually rescued by sheriff Friendlander and escorted to a town that looks as if it had been built for a Hollywood western. But is Friendlander really their friend, and what reality do they now inhabit? Slowly, a grisly truth dawns on the new arrivals. “Welcome to Blood City” is an unusual genre-mix that plays with elements of western, romance, thriller and science-fiction decades before “The Matrix” would premiere. However, the film was not a commercial or critical success, and Roy Budd’s score remains the best thing about it. It is also the most unusual work in his oeuvre as already becomes clear during the opening credits with its abstract effects, a lone flute solo, and the use of the echoplex. Budd’s score is more experimental and austere than any of his other compositions. Although “Welcome to Blood City” features jazz inflections and aggressive orchestral moments, it is neither a grand symphonic score nor a driving jazz composition for which the former child prodigy from Croydon, England, had become famous. In his score, Budd doesn’t rely on themes and melodies but on motifs and moods instead. The lonesome, haunting flute solo at the beginning skilfully captures the deserted landscape and troubling alienation of the unwitting pawns while the echoplex (used famously in “Patton” by Jerry Goldsmith whom Budd admired and befriended) provides a sense of mystery and hints at the science fiction element of the story. We are pleased to finally make Roy Budd’s score for “Welcome to Blood City” available for the first time, thanks to the efforts of his wife Sylvia Budd. The score was long thought to be lost before we discovered it – among other tapes – in a small storage container outside a village in North Yorkshire, England, where it had been kept for a decade. As a bonus, we include the few pieces Budd wrote and recorded for the short-lived though well-reviewed British TV series “The Sandbaggers”, a political thriller about undercover operations. The 49th CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet-text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The CD was mastered by Richard Moore and produced by Stephan Eicke and John Elborg.
