There are projects that leave a lasting mark on a composer. For me, WUNDERKINDER is one of them. It was my first collaboration with Marcus O. Rosenmüller and, at the same time, the first major feature film for which I had the privilege of recording the score with the Bratislava Radio Symphony Orchestra.
The film won the Yad Vashem Prize at the Jerusalem Film Festival, as well as twelve other awards for Best Film at festivals here and across Europe.
“WUNDERKINDER” tells the story of three exceptionally musically gifted children who develop a deep and sincere friendship that transcends their different religions and nationalities. The two Jewish children, Larissa and Abrascha, are both virtuosos—one on the piano, the other on the violin.
Hanna, a young German girl, is also extremely talented. They live in Poltava, Ukraine, in 1941, and they all share a great love: music. Their world consists of secrets among friends and adventures in which they pretend to be Native Americans in the American West. But when the Nazis invade the Soviet Union, they quickly realize that their childhood is over. They view the war through the eyes of children who see life with moral clarity. And they have no idea that Heinrich Himmler himself has chosen Poltava as the city of his postwar dreams.
The young actors are exceptionally talented and play their own instruments. For weeks, they worked every morning with director Marcus O. Rosenmüller, reading, drawing, writing, and trying to grasp the immensity of the Shoah. For all lovers of classical music: the music is captivating.
Last week saw the brilliant premiere of MÜNTER & KANDINSKY in the packed main auditorium of the Zoo Palast in Berlin.
The film will be released in cinemas tomorrow, October 24, 2024. We look forward to seeing you.

At the weekend, we had our wonderful premiere of Marcus O. Rosenmüller's new feature film "Münter & Kandinsky" as part of the Munich Film Festival at the Sendlinger Tor movie theater.
Almost the entire team and many prominent guests came and celebrated a lavish party with us.

It is the moving story of a dramatic love affair and at the same time a document of epochal art: at the beginning of the 20th century, Berlin-born Gabriele Münter lives and paints together with her great love, the Russian Wassily Kandinsky, in the Bavarian town of Murnau am Staffelsee. The province becomes the starting point for an artistic awakening into modernity that revolutionizes painting and the understanding of art and gives rise to the loose artist movement Der Blaue Reiter.
The film atmospherically traces the life and love story of Münter and Kandinsky: The young painting student who falls in love with the teacher who is almost eleven years her senior. Their life together while traveling and in the Blue Land, which became a source of inspiration for their painting and made them pioneers of their time. Their artistically productive, but privately rather fatal relationship caused Münter to become increasingly desperate and Kandinsky increasingly disgruntled.
MÜNTER & KANDINSKY is the first feature film to faithfully portray the years the two highly talented personalities spent together, the emergence of the Blaue Reiter and the revival of the Schwabing bohemian scene shortly after the turn of the century.

One week of mixing the new movie by Marcus O. Rosenmüller at cinecromatix in Berlin with the great sound mixer Clemens Grulich.
It's done :-) Two days final mixing of the soundtrack of THE MAGIC FLUTE in the Atmos Studio of Neue Tonfilm Munich.
It feels like a second home here: unbelievably great people work here and give their all and give everything for a relaxed working atmosphere at the highest level.
Many thanks to the team around Yvette & Eberhard. It was a lot of fun!
