Caldera Records is proud to present Loek Dikker’s score for the motion picture “Rosenstrasse,” directed by Margarethe von Trotta and starring Katja Riemann and Maria Schrader. The film tells an extraordinary story about the defiance of women: In the centre stands Ruth, a Jewish mother living in New York. Her daughter Hannah one day finds out that her mother was sent to the United States by her aunt during the Second World War. The true story unfolds in front of Hannah’s eyes as she decides to track down Lena. Ruth’s mother had been captured by the Nazis and imprisoned in a factory building in Rosenstrasse. Ruth and Lena were connected by their fate: Although Lena was German and member of the aristocracy, her husband Fabian was Jewish and kept prisoner in the same building as Ruth's mother. Desperate to see their Jewish men freed, a group of women assembled in front of the factory building in Rosenstrasse for a growing protest in the course of which they put their own lives on the line. For the German-Dutch co-production, director Margarethe von Trotta relied on Loek Dikker to provide the music, the Netherlands' most renowned composer for film and television who had celebrated international successes with Paul Verhoeven's film “The Fourth Man” and Eric Red's “Body Parts” (released on CD by Varese Sarabande in the US). “Rosenstrasse” is the work in film he is most proud of ? and for good reason. His orchestral composition is complex and rich ? searing yet unsentimental. It is primarily his achievement that “Rosenstrasse” is not a manipulative tearjerker for his music strikes just the right balance between drawing out the emotions, expressing the horror of war, and underlining the initial feeling of powerlessness in an oppressive system by giving room to silence.
The 51st CD-release of Caldera Records features a detailed booklet text by Stephan Eicke and elegant artwork by Luis Miguel Rojas. The CD was mastered by Richard Moore and produced by Stephan Eicke, Loek Dikker and John Elborg.

マルガレーテ・フォン・トロッタ監督、カーチャ・リーマンとマリア・シュレーダー主演の映画『ローゼンシュトラッセ』のサウンドトラックが初リリース！音楽は『ボディ・パーツ』、『パスカリの島』などのローク・ディッカー。
トラックリストこの映画は、女性たちの反抗を描いた特別な物語である： 中心には、ニューヨークに住むユダヤ人の母親ルースが立っている。彼女の娘ハンナはある日、母が第二次世界大戦中に叔母によってアメリカに送られたことを知る。レナの行方を追うことを決意したハンナの目の前で、真実の物語が展開する。ルースの母はナチスに捕らえられ、ローゼンシュトラーセの工場ビルに幽閉されていた。ルースとレナは運命的につながっていた： レナはドイツ人で貴族だったが、夫のファビアンはユダヤ人で、ルースの母と同じ建物に囚われていた。ユダヤ人男性の解放を切望する女性たちは、ローゼンシュトラーセの工場ビルの前に集まり、自らの命を賭けた抗議活動を展開した。マルガレーテ・フォン・トロッタ監督は、このドイツ・オランダ合作映画のために、ポール・ヴァーホーヴェン監督の映画『第4の男』やエリック・レッドの『ボディ・パーツ』（アメリカではVarese SarabandeからCDリリース）で国際的な成功を収めたオランダで最も有名な映画・テレビ音楽作曲家、ローク・ディッカーに音楽を依頼した。『ローゼンシュトラッセ』は、彼が最も誇りに思っている映画作品であり、それには理由がある。彼の管弦楽曲は複雑で豊かであり、切なくも感傷的でない。彼の音楽は、感情を引き出し、戦争の恐ろしさを表現し、抑圧的な体制における無力感を、沈黙の余地を与えることで強調するという、ちょうどいいバランスを保っている。
