Alhambra Records are now at Facebook:
https://www.facebook.com/AlhambraRecords
Since the end of last year Alhambra Records has also released three new CDs and one new 2-CD-Set:
1. DONNA LEON - BRUNETTI (2-CD-Set)
Music from the first four episodes:
Episodes 1+2 were composed by Ulrich Reuter with an epic Italian theme, operatic music, but also with dark suspense tracks. Music is performed by the Norddeutsche Philharmonie Rostock and conducted by Frank Strobel. Also included in this CD-set is the concert suite with themes from the episodes 1+2 performed by the Philharmonie Baden-Baden.
Episodes 3+4 were composed by Florian Appl. He introduces a great new theme for Brunetti. Florian Appl' s scores include aspects of minimal music and baroque music. The score is performed by the Filmorchester Babelsberg which is conducted by Bernd Wefelmeyer.
Also part of this CD-set is the famous main title theme by André Rieu.
You will find a first introduction at SAE:

2. IN EINEM WILDEN LAND - Karim Sebastian Elias
"In einem wilden Land" tells the true story of German immigrants making a pact with the Comanches. The heroine of the film is the young German weaver Mila (Emilia Schüle). She lost her husband during a mid-18th Century workers' uprising. She now pursues on her own their original plan to emigrate to America, where she has to realize that she either needs a male companion or has
to stay at the coast. The leader of the trek is a choleric Graf (Benno Fürmann). Mila almost kills him when he wants to rape his wife Cecilie (Nadja Uhl). During their flight the weaver and the countess run straight into the arms of the Indians. Mila is equally repelled and fascinated by the foreign culture and she is fascinated by the charismatic Buffalo Hump (played by Canadian actor Wesley French).
Virtually an acoustic starring role is reserved for the large orchestral music: Elias avoids the well-known Western clichés and instead fascinates with variations of the folk song "Kein schöner Land", which perfectly reflects the optimism of the settlers. The music is performed by the Brandenburgische Staatsorchester Frankfurt, conducted by Jörg Iwer - Chorus: Singakademie FFO.

The movie is based on a book by Martha Grimes. The melodic score has been composed by Marcel Barsotti, best known for Sea Wolf (2008) or Pope Joan (2009).

The CD contains highlights from the three young-adventure-movies with characters created by Enid Blyton. Music composed by Wolfram De Marco (LOFT, 2008). His charming, sweeping scores are performed by the Macedonian Radio Symphonic with great Tango and Salsa rhythms, banjo and accordion sounds.

Music composed by Ulrich Reuter

What would happen if the plague breaks out in Cologne (Germany)? This is the story of the disaster movie from 2002.

In addition to the original score, the CD includes a concert suite from "Return of the Plague" performed by the Philharmonie Baden-Baden and conducted by Karl Albert Geyer. After "Donna Leon - Brunetti" (A 9016), "Return of the Plague" is the second release with music by Ulrich Reuter in the Alhambra Records catalogue. The CD contains a detailed 12-page booklet with photos from the film and with commentaries by the composer.
