Caldera Records is proud to present the original score for the television movie Maria di Nazaret from 2012, directed by Giacomo Campiotti. The two part movie was a huge success in Italy as it recounts the story of Jesus’ mother Maria and accompanies her throughout the life of the son of God until his death on the cross. Maria was played by internationally acclaimed actress Paz Vega who rose to fame after her role in the Adam Sandler movie Spanglish. The music for Maria di Nazaret was written by British composer and conductor Guy Farley (Secret Sharer, Modigliani) who delivers probably his most diverse score to date, featuring lush orchestral melodies for orchestra and choir as well as female vocals and solos for ethnic instruments, played by Tony Hinnigan (Braveheart). Additionally, we included another score by Farley on the CD: L’uomo che sognava con l’aquile was written for an extensive Italian television production with Terence Hill which gathered raving reviews after its premiere in 2006. Also, we present a bonus cue with the much beloved track Reunited from the Jean Claude van Damme movie Wake of Death which receives its premiere release here. The tenth CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet-text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The CD was produced by Stephan Eicke and John Elborg.

Read the first review here: "Maybe in 20–30 years from now I can compare it to other great works such as Cinema Paradiso, I really believe this score has such staying power and in time could become a real classic. This is a score not to be missed at any cost. It should be cherished and universally loved. It’s the type of score that I thought was just a part of the past, but turns out there’s hope for our younger generations too if more scores like this is allowed to be released. Needless to say, this is a stunning score that ticks all the right boxes. Buy this CD and a box of tissues and you’ll be a happy camper." http://www.soundtrackgeek.com/v2/soundtrack-review-maria-di-nazaret/
I have to say the SoundCloud audio clip sounded so very inviting that I had to order a copy from Screen Archives. Definitely a score to look forward to.
yeah... better check with SAE directly... I am also waiting for one more order containing Maria to ship from them...
Interesting that they claimed to have the CD almost two weeks ago and it is still listed as pre-order, although I have received another copy from Music box WEEKS AGO!
So ask sae what is the hold up and when they will finally start shipping the copies. Just usual SAE mess!
They seem to consistently order later from Caldera. Maybe they wait so that their order won't overshoot the number of pre-orders too much and they won't be sitting on stock? Or maybe, since Caldera said it's selling well and they made need to do a second pressing, they're just busy fulfilling all the orders?
Here is the response I've got from SAE: "We are still waiting for the stocks of Maria… to arrive. These should be in within the next week or so as they are coming from overseas. As soon as they arrive the order will ship."
Wondering if they have already ordered some copies then....
I listened to the whole thing on Spotify thinking it might be good but I wasn't very impressed. Fairly ambient at times and lots of wailing female vocals that don't add much to the score. Seems to be missing an overall uniting theme.

Same response I received. We all know they are coming from overseas-dammit Toby. The real question is did SAE finally place an order and why did it take so long for them to do so?
