Soundtrack Reviews:
Forget everything you've heard previously from Austrian Hubert von Goisern. The soundtrack to the Vilsmaier film has nothing, nothing at all to do with the music from the folk rocker until now. Here are found sound sequences, organ music and orchestral sounds which, at the first go, astonish and repel, but also achieve their impact even without having seen the film. An instrumental listening experience away from all current trends, but all the more impressive. 5 stars.
Aschaffenburger Stadtmagazin, Feb 1996
Schlafes Bruder is not just the name of the new film from Josef Vilsmaier, based on the novel by Robert Schneider, but also the title of the soundtrack by and with Hubert von Goisern, developed under energetic collaboration with Norbert J. Schneider. The film stars on 5th October in more than 200 German cinemas, the premiere in Austria was around a month ago, and there Schlafes Bruder stands at number 1 in the cinema charts. The now released film music is only identical in part to the original soundtrack. It has been partly re-recorded and mixed by Wolfgang Spannberger and Klaus Strazicky, as well as some parts being extended.
Musik Markt, 23rd October 1995
"Yeah, who says now that the dissolution last year was just a promotion gag?" some people will probably now be thinking. But far from it, although "Hubert von Goisern" is written in big letters on the CD case, Schlafes Bruder has very little in common with the Goiserer's Alpinkatzen time. There are indeed alpine sounds in this film music, but he holds back with the rock. Rather more, there are worlds of sound without vocals. Von Goisern has an excellent grasp, like a painter, of how to portray whole landscapes with his music, which are at times dark and sad, in the next moment monumental and at the same time oppressive, enormously emotionally charged.
