We are very happy that you enjoy this music as we think it is probably one of the best scores ever written for the small screen. Thank you so much for your support! It is important to be able to release such small and great works in the future.


Meanwhile, REBECCA has gathered raving reviews:

“Old-fashioned in the best sense of the modern gothic word, “Rebecca” is a superior, lavish score (astoundingly only performed by thirty musicians) from a composer who knows how to play picaresque romance amongst the well-heeled, music that sounds more alive than ever given Caldera Record’s sophisticated presentation, with Gunning himself summing up his stirringly passionate masterwork in his own, soft-spoken words.”
FilmmusicMag.com

“Well, romance is in full bloom. It sounds beautiful and epic, just like a true romance should be. It is a welcome release, a wonderful release in fact with every cue filled with awe and wonder. Top quality all the way and then some.”
SoundtrackGeek.com

“Christopher Gunning’s score for Rebecca is in short an extremely impressive work, especially when you consider it was composed for a television production, and worthy addition to any soundtrack collection. The score has enormous narrative clarity through its precise and memorable themes, powerful orchestrations, excellent crystal clear recording and musically bold handling of the subject matter that translates into a very enjoyable and listenable album that brims with musical drama. This is top notch stuff!”
FilmsonWax.co.uk

“Christopher Gunning pulls out all the stops to turn in one of the most beautiful and intricate scores I’ve heard of late. I’ve been listening to this almost constantly over the past two weeks and every time I play it there are numerous moments where a shiver runs down my spine. This is another impressive release from Caldera Records and certainly one that’s worth adding to your soundtrack collection.”
ReviewGraveyard.com

“I get a special kind of feeling inside when a Caldera release comes along. They have specialized in gems that really move me and I can easily name each of their releases from this year because they’ve all been amazing. This is one of my favorite record labels and I’m happy to get a chance to review their scores. “Rebecca” is the kind of score that only Caldera could have released. You don’t hear many scores like this one these days. This is pure orchestral bliss from start to finish… it is one of the most beautiful, dreamy and hypnotic scores I’ve heard in a long long time and also one of those compositions that make me travel back in time. Christopher Gunning gets as romantic as John Barry and paints a musical picture that will last forever. If you love orchestral emotions, run to get this one and treasure it. You’ll get a whole range of feelings from joy to sadness and from love to drama. A storm of beautiful music, turbulent and varied where the notes and instruments dance an eternal romantic waltz and I remain in awe long after the orchestra has left the building.”
SoundtrackDreams.com

“Beautiful themes and melodies, an elegant and rich orchestration. I almost fell out of my seat just by listening to the first piece. Do not miss it!”
Underscores.fr

“It is beautiful and romantic music with a wide range from the outrageous to the dramatic. It is refined and elegant and emphasizes the obsession with duality (love/danger).”

One of our customers kindly dropped us a mail to let us know that there is a 'klick' in cue no. 19. Unfortunately, this is correct. This is not a mistake from the pressing plant but appeared during the transfer from the DAT tapes. No one of us noticed despite a long and careful examination before giving it to the pressing plant. This shouldn't have happened and we can't explain how this could happen. Please accept our sincerest apology.

Unfortunately, as a small independent label we can not afford a new pressing. Instead, we did a re-master of the specific cue and uploaded it on our homepage for customers who bought the CD. This is not an ideal solution but we hope you can understand the problem we are facing. Thanks very much to all of you who bought this CD and support us!

What a great solution when a repressing cannot be afforded! I wish Varese would provide a free download of a fixed main title to The Thorn Birds...

Class act Caldera. I didn't even notice the glitch in question until it was pointed out, but I'm really grateful that you were willing to put it online.

Excellent customer service, excellent music. Hooray for great smaller labels and their dedication to getting great music out there!

REBECCA is one of my favorite scores purchased this year. Magnificent- Gunnings music is so beautiful, gorgeous and yes- lavish. Strongly recommended.

Completely agreed. Funny that he wrote one of his "other" and very complimentary masterpieces in the same vein, FIRELIGHT, the same year. He really knows how to make string instruments SING!

You can right-click on the link and from the dropdown menu, choose "Save Link As" which should be the wave file itself. When I left-click on it, I get a popup window to open or save the track.

I wish Tadlow would do something similar with that ugly clunk at 1'29" on track 6 of disc two of Quo Vadis.

Wonderful orchestral score by C. Gunning for this one and highly recommended. And a big thank you to Caldera for making this available. Beautiful music!

What exactly are you talking about? All I hear is the harp playing the score.
