\nMusic from the original tv-series (1969-1972)<\/p>\n
To mark the 100th birthday of composer Peter Thomas on December 1, 2025, Allscore is releasing a soundtrack premiere: for the first time, Thomas’ work for the crime series DER KOMMISSAR is being honored on an album. The series was launched by public television broadcaster ZDF in 1969 as a counterweight to the US crime series that were successful in Germany at the time.<\/p>\n
The series DER KOMMISSAR, produced by Helmut Ringelmann, followed on from the ZDF crime series DAS KRIMINALMUSEUM (1963-1970) and in turn served as a model for its successors DERRICK and DER ALTE, which were also set in Munich. It ran for 97 episodes from 1969 to 1976, all in black and white. Thanks to its sophisticated integration of criminal cases into social developments and generational conflicts, the series is still considered a style-defining document of its time.<\/p>\n
Not least because of this, DER KOMMISSAR also stands for the progressive use of current pop and rock music titles (The Rolling Stones, CAN, T. Rex…). But established film music composers also had their chance. Peter Thomas, for example, contributed music to 22 episodes. This ranged from simply using individual pre-produced music tracks (library music) to composing the entire film music for an episode (score). The best known is certainly Daisy Door’s song \u201cDu lebst in deiner Welt (Highlights of My Dream)\u201d from episode 39 (Als die Blumen Trauer trugen, 1971), which stormed the charts after it was broadcast, sold half a million singles, and led to three appearances by the singer on the TV show “ZDF Hitparade”.<\/p>\n

Track list LP:<\/strong><\/p>\n Side A Seite B * Previously unreleased<\/p>\n The more experimental the episode, the more experimental Peter Thomas’ compositions were. In episode 11 (Die Schrecklichen, 1969), for example, he combined folk music with beat, soul, and pop. The director was Zbyn\u011bk Brynych, with whom he later collaborated successfully on various films (including DIE WEIBCHEN) and TV series (DERRICK). The musical range of Thomas’ KOMMISSAR spanned from classical music to pop and rock music and sound collages. As always, he was able to draw on exquisite performers in the studio, such as Siegfried Schwab, Max Greger Jr., Lothar Meid, Jiggs Whigham, Jan Hammer, Olaf K\u00fcbler, Sylvester Levay, and many more.<\/p>\n Following Bruce Lee: The Big Boss<\/em>, Winnetou und sein Freund Old Firehand<\/em>, Steiner – Das Eiserne Kreuz 2<\/em>, Edgar Wallace<\/em> and Derrick & Der Alte<\/em> this is the sixth LP\/CD release in a series dedicated to German composer Peter Thomas (1925-2020).<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" This edition of the LP is printed on black 180g vinyl and comes in lined inner sleeves and splendid gatefold cover.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":14468,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[227,618,188],"product_tag":[],"class_list":{"0":"post-14450","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-crime","7":"product_cat-peter-thomas-sound-orchester-en","8":"product_cat-soundtracks-en","9":"product_shipping_class-tontraeger-schallplatte-en","10":"entry","11":"clearfix","12":"entry-grid","13":"entry-columns-3","14":"entry-product-module-layout-sidebar-right","15":"thumbnail-color-tone-dark","16":"entry-product","18":"entry-product-grid","20":"first","21":"instock","22":"taxable","23":"shipping-taxable","24":"purchasable","25":"product-type-simple"},"yoast_head":"\n
