Born in pain
The "Golden Camera" and the "Grimme Prize" were just the most prestigious of many awards for the hr-produced "Tatort" episode "Im Schmerz geboren" (2014) with Ulrich Tukur as Commissioner Murot. Now the film can be experienced on the big screen with its completely classical soundtrack - this time played live by the hr symphony orchestra.
Acclaimed by critics as a cinematic masterpiece, the episode has little in common with a classic TV thriller, but is full of allusions, quotations and cross-references to theater and film history: from Sophocles and Shakespeare to Dürrenmatt, Truffaut and the Italo-Western to Tarantino. This cinematic nod to cultural heritage is rounded off convincingly by an obvious and yet particularly ingenious trick: For the soundtrack of "Born in Pain" consists exclusively of classical music - from an enchanting operatic aria by Handel and a piano nocturne by Chopin to Verdi's famous "Prisoners' Chorus" from "Nabucco" and Georges Delerue's film music for "Jules et Jim". And all the recordings for this "Tatort" were made by the hr-Sinfonieorchester - some of them from the archives of Hessischer Rundfunk, some of them specially re-recorded during a recording session conducted by film music expert Frank Strobel in the hr-Sendesaal in March 2014. With the same line-up and in the same location, the 20 or so musical excerpts will be played live to accompany the film at this "Music and Film" concert.
