About

Michael Jary’s “Ich weiß, es wird einmal ein Wunder gescheh’n” (“I know there will be a miracle one day”) and “Davon geht die Welt nicht unter” (“The World Won’t End Because of This”), Theo Mackeben’s “Du hast Glück bei den Frau’n, Bel Ami!” (“You’re lucky with the ladies, Bel Ami!”), Lothar Brühne’s “Ich brech’ die Herzen der stolzesten Frau’n” (“I break the hearts of the proudest women”), and Friedrich Schröder’s “Ich tanze mit dir in den Himmel hinein” (“I’ll dance to heaven with you”) are just some of the sound film hits that are still popular today and that, if not already commissioned, were later perfidiously misused by the National Socialists for propaganda purposes. Terms such as “propaganda film” or “morale-boosting film” accompany the programme presented on this CD as the ugly downside of what were sometimes brilliant musical creations. The Münchner Rundfunkorchester, founded in 1952, has played individual titles from these films again and again in very different scorings and arrangements over the course of its 70-year history. This CD was produced as a studio recording in October 2021, and all the sound film hits were played in their purely orchestral form - thus exposing the core of the individual compositions while allowing the necessary historical distance.

Some numbers of this musical revue are clearly at odds with the political-social reality from which they emerged. Franz Grothe’s “Sing mit mir” (“Sing with me”), the opening track of the CD, can be regarded as a prime example of the musical style that the National Socialists wanted for their cinematic diversion: exciting, fleet of foot, and enriched with playful figures in the wind section. The whole thing is driven along by lively pizzicato basses, which are then joined by a kind of Csárdás rhythm.

This was a reference to the Hungarian-born leading lady Marika Rökk, with her “tomboyish mischievousness” and “paprika in her blood” - as the film magazines of 1939 put it. - This music could also have come straight from a Hollywood film of those years.

The Münchner Rundfunkorchester performs this music because its artistic value was hardly disputed even in post-war Germany, and because there are hardly any professional orchestras familiar with this repertoire and able to perform it at a high level.

Famous evergreens from sound films and movies between 1929 and 1961, written by the most renowned film-music and pop composers of the time

Instrumental recordings in congenial arrangements allow the necessary historical distance
