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 is proud to present the original score for the motion picture “Under Suspicion” from 1991, directed by Simon Moore and starring Liam Neeson, Laura San Giacomo and Kenneth Cranham. Neeson plays a former cop who now works as a private investigator whose main job it is to collect evidence of adultery for his clients who wish to settle divorce cases. Neeson’s character runs into trouble soon though when he orders his wife to go to a hotel room with a well known painter in order to take photographs of the two and sell them to the wife of the painter. Things get nasty when the pair is shot death – and one of the prime suspects is: the investigator himself. Christopher Gunning delivered one of his darkest, most brooding scores which at times evokes the spirit of Bernard Herrmann’s well known and much celebrated style to underscore suspense and enhance the already dangerous situations in the film’s scenes. Gunning wrote several themes and motifs, notably a love theme for Neeson’s and Giacomo’s characters which receives its variations throughout the whole score. The highlight of the score is undoubtedly the famous hanging sequence for which the composer wrote a 7 minute piece which builds steadily until it collapses at its climax and makes your adrenalin rush through your body. Deservedly, Gunning won an Ivor Novello Award for his work on “Under Suspicion” in 1991. This is the third entry of a Gunning score in the Caldera catalog. As a bonus, we included an exclusive audio commentary by the composer where he talks about his work. The 15th 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.
