In the early 2010s, we met composer Guy Farley at an event in London. During our conversation, Guy mentioned that he had been trying to get a recent score of his released, to no avail. The clearing of the rights was difficult, he warned. When he send us the music, we immediately agreed that it deserves to be released. Originally, we pondered to put out his “Maria di Nazaret” on Alhambra Records, John Elborg’s only music label at the time. However, since Alhambra was dedicated to German film and television productions, it didn’t seem the right fit. While we negotiated the rights, we decided to found a new label for international productions.

As it turned out, getting the rights to “Maria di Nazaret” took 2.5 years. In the meantime, Guy had recorded “Secret Sharer” which we announced as our first Caldera release. “Maria di Nazaret” was later included in our catalog as release number 10.

Ever since “Secret Sharer” we have made it our mission to present previously unreleased soundtracks in a deluxe package, carefully mastered and often featuring an exclusive audio commentary by the composer, with elegant artwork, and detailed liner notes.

For ten years, we have stayed true to our mission and are delighted to have worked with great composers such as Gabriel Yared, Christopher Gunning, Ennio Morricone, Zbigniew Preisner, David Shire and others.
