The music of Sonderdezernat K1<\/p>\n
In 1972 the Norddeutscher Rundfunk (NDR) transmitted on television another greatly successful detective series – \u201cSonderdezernat K1\u201c. The NDR producer Harald Vock understood the importance of a good film score for a prestigious project such as \u201cSonderdezernat K1\u201c and engaged Martin B\u00f6ttcher, probably the most famous of all German film composers. With his emblematic soundtracks for the Karl May films and contributions to the Edgar Wallace mysteries B\u00f6ttcher had already created film music history.<\/p>\n
Just by listening to the main title it becomes clear that B\u00f6ttcher was the perfect choice as composer for \u201cSonderdezernat K1\u201d! He realizes a \u201cgroovemonster\u201d laced with layered effects which catapults the characteristic 1970s B\u00f6ttcher-sound with great energy. To this very day it is one of the best and most popular melodies of German TV. It has always played a special role in the composer\u2019s catalog; since the mid 90\u2019s manufacturer Hilcona has used a special arrangement of this melody in their television commercial spots. But there\u2019s much more great music in the 23 sequels of the series: Reaching from suspense tracks a la \u201cEdgar Wallace\u201c over beat, easy-listening, jazz and bossa nova to even a disco funk vocal track.<\/p>\n
With the increasing popularity of the series record companies became aware of B\u00f6ttcher\u2019s music: In 1979 an album with 12 themes from the series was finally released: \u201cMord im Dreiviertel-Takt\u201c. However it did not contain the original versions as the music was re-recorded and extended to fit to the layout of this album. Satisfyingly the original versions of these cues are preserved for the first time on this CD.<\/p>\n
When interviewed today about his music for \u201cSonderdezernat K1\u201c Martin B\u00f6ttcher is still proud of his work. For years he has put a great effort into seeing the release of the original recordings.<\/p>\n
Almost punctually on his 85th birthday on June 17, 2012 this CD brings 31 tracks thereof to the audience.<\/p>\n
The booklet comes with many coloured filmstills plus liner notes in German and English language.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":8140,"template":"","meta":[],"product_brand":[],"product_cat":[227,188],"product_tag":[191],"class_list":{"0":"post-8138","1":"product","2":"type-product","3":"status-publish","4":"has-post-thumbnail","6":"product_cat-crime","7":"product_cat-soundtracks-en","8":"product_tag-soundtracks-en","9":"product_shipping_class-tontraeger-cd-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
