Historical Context

The Münchner Rundfunkorchester (Munich Radio Orchestra), founded in 1952, was originally established for 'sophisticated entertainment music' but has since become known for its versatility, including film music.

Compositional Technique

David Reichelt's film score for 'Tatort: Dreams' combines traditional symphonic music with modern compositional techniques, including sound synthesis from original orchestral sounds and electronically altered samples.

Recording & Production

The soundtrack for 'Tatort: Dreams' rearranges the order and dramaturgy of the tracks to create a flowing listening experience, independent of the film's narrative.

Performer Biography

Andreas Kowalewitz, the conductor, was a soprano soloist in the Hannover Boys' Choir at age nine and has served as Kapellmeister at the Staatstheater am Gärtnerplatz in Munich.

Compositional Technique

The main motif in Reichelt's score is a flowing, downward-winding chain of eighth notes that repeats with characteristic variations throughout the composition.

Compositional Technique

The dream theme in the score avoids conventional tension and release, largely omitting harmonic cadences to create a dream-like, floating character.

Composer Biography

David Reichelt, the composer, has won the German Film Music Award twice and has contributed an original composition to the 'Peaceful Choir' project alongside composers like Max Richter and Hans Zimmer.
