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.

Zitat laut Facebook-Präsenz von Varese Sarabande:

Caldera Records is proud to present the original score for the television movie Rebecca from 1997, directed by Jim O'Brien and starring Emilia Fox, Charles Dance, Faye Dunaway and Diana Rigg. The movie is based on the famous novel of the same name by Daphne du Maurier which had already been made into a successful movie by Alfred Hitchcock in 1940. It tells the tragic love story between a rich gentleman and his second wife who not only has to cope with an obsessive and evil housekeeper but also with the shadow of the first wife who obviously died under strange circumstances... Christopher Gunning wrote one of his most beautiful and rich scores for this adaption, capturing every aspect of the story in his music. While there is a dark and melancholic main theme, the romance between the (happy) couple is described in a lush melody for the full orchestra which receives its variations throughout the whole score. The tense moments in the movie are accompanied by aggressive outbursts from the orchestra, often featuring prominent, difficult and expressive solos from the cello. Christopher Gunning himself thinks of Rebecca as one of his very best scores and we are glad that you can finally see for yourself that it is indeed – but even more than that: it is one of the most diverse and inspired scores ever written for television. As a bonus, we included an exclusive audio commentary by the composer where he talks about his work. The eleventh CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet-text by Gergely Hubai and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The CD was produced by Stephan Eicke and John Elborg. 1.

Versprochen! Alles was ihr tun müsst sind ein paar Videos ansehen und bewerten! Das wäre wirklich toll! Der Link wäre: http://ww2.unipark.de/uc/kb_uni_koblenz_kilian_ls/afb0/ Vielen vielen Dank schon mal für eure Mühe! Viele Grüße aus dem schönen Koblenz!

Hallo, bislang habe ich mich immer sehr bequem und schnell über die low-tech-Variante der Hörzu-Website, die unter www3.hoerzu.de zu finden war, über das aktuelle Fernsehprogramm informieren können. Leider bietet Hörzu jetzt nur noch das umständliche Programm mit Flash, Java, Javascript oder ähnlichem Firlefanz, der die Bedienung erschwert und umständlicher macht. Daher meine Frage: Kann mir jemand eine Website empfehlen, die das TV-Programm ohne technische Spielereien einfach, übersichtlich und ohne den Zwang, erst ein dutzend mal irgendwo weiterzuklicken/zublättern, präsentiert? Gruß, Urs
