As the name suggests: Film Music

Hubert von Goisern took to 101 appointments for its highly successful "Brenna tuats Tour 2012" understandably a break. Far from it, if you believe that he would have left unused. So virtually an illustrated journey filmed aerial and ground shots coming in the fall, a documentary of the famous movie and documentary film director Joseph Vilsmaier over Austria "Above and below" in the cinema, through all nine provinces. Goisern and Vilsmaier know each other, because Hubert von Goisern for Vilsmaier movie "Brother of Sleep" already contributed compositions. Vilsmaier brought a similar project entitled "Bavaria - dream journey through Bavaria" some time ago in the cinema. Therefore, once again offered to cooperate for the soundtrack. Find moving images the right music to enrich the images with music and thus to create a visual and acoustic symbiosis, is attractive, but also a difficult task. Without having seen the movie, is the album "Film Music" a good example of that already when listening to "own" movie in the mind's eye can occur when you bring a little imagination and the music of the Alpine region a little recently released knows ,

Hubert von Goisern picked out some of its most popular titles of the past 25 years for the project. These earlier film compositions and let them together with the Austrian musician, composer and orchestra leader Robert Opratko rise again with orchestral accompaniment as Remix. So everything sounds almost autonomously, solemn, although there are well-known songs. The result is fascinating. These same in detail more.

The acoustic flyover begins with "Spat", a - as I want to express it - slowly sung "precious Yodel" with almost sacred character and orchestral accompaniment. So not what you think you know from so-called folk music broadcasts. Goisern designed to yodelling as its own art form. With a dedication, a prayer sung by dipping almost into another time level and can forget everything around you. After a brief instrumental passage follows the equally short "Ferlach-Fanfare" with a fanfare-horn section. "Evening Spat" is a nearly eight minute composition with prolonged varied instrumental part, using up Goisern's distinctive vocals.
The title "heart educating Johann" made me curious. Of course it is a modified version of the "Archduke Johann" theme, is not yodel, but implemented appealing as instrumental chamber music version.
But what the "Juchitzer" going on, sung by Hubert former accompanying singer Sabine Kapfinger in a stunning version, is indescribable. These pervasive, clear voice, you never forget. It is supported on a constantly increasing keyboard and percussion cloud. Just phenomenal, here are missing adequate words. I'm curious, what images Vilsmaier has highlighted in this passage in the film.
Bells opens directly into the "cave Yodel" with beautiful singing by the Salzburg folk song choir.
It is impossible within the framework of a panel discussion on each title received, but the "Blue Danube", which is probably just overflown heard absolutely here. This is the "Beautiful Blue Danube" meant by the basic melody of Johann Strauss II (the son). But the "Blue Danube" does not flow predictable, leisurely, but "modern" in-plan riverbed, entertaining and not necessarily created in the waltz rhythm.
After Italian sung title "L'Amero" the impressive bell of St. Stephen's Cathedral are ringing for "Africa Overture" and the "arrival yodel" landing after a wonderful storybook flight over a magnificent cultural landscape.

All too soon pass 50 minutes running time. There are not many soundtracks that can exist on its own. Von Goisern has managed to live up to this task fairly and imperceptibly creep into the ear canals. Christmas is not too far - less than subtle hint ...
