Derrick & Der Alte - Original Television Series Music (1974-1984)DERRICK celebrates its 50th anniversary this year. Although the successful German television series has experienced some discretion recently following the posthumous revelation of Chief Inspector Horst Tappert's Nazi past, its success and popularity remain intact. A comparable crime series, DER ALTE, continues to be broadcast to this day. The common thread of this album lies in the soundtracks by Peter Thomas, who gave both series a dream musical start.Peter Thomas composed the music for the first episode of DERRICK, "Waldweg" (1974). Six other episodes followed. The composer and musician even made an appearance in the DERRICK episode "Tod des Trompeters" (1976), where he is in the audience of singer Sabrina (Emy Cesaroni) and exchanges a few words with her. The corresponding song, "Ohne Dich ist es Nacht," was a hit single and also appears on this album. Peter Thomas even composed the theme music for the first 100 episodes of the television crime series DER ALTE, which launched in 1977. In addition to the pilot "Die Dienstreise," he also composed the music for three other episodes, including the controversial "Der Alte schlägt 2x zu."
