Press comments
Crime scene Dreams
“Reichelt knows how to use both clearly defined motifs and spherical, floating sounds, so that the music consciously reflects a fusion of dream and reality. In addition, organic transitions between concertante music (visible in the scene design with orchestra) and the film music to be heard are noted in the score to support the film’s interflowing layers.”
Wandering Soul
“In addition to well-known contemporary composers such as Karl Jenkins, John Rutter, Hans Zimmer or Eric Whitacre, (…) David Reichelt also (contributed) his first choral work for the recordings:
“Wandering Soul” is a soulful a cappella piece about the peaceful meeting of two loving souls in the turmoil of hell – making it a resonant metaphor for the cause of the World Peace Choir.”
Crime scene Dreams
“The symphonic music, astonishingly weighty for a crime scene, is by 35-year-old Munich-based David Reichelt. […] He captures the parallel universe between dream and reality in evocative tones, especially when there is no talking and one follows, for instance, the thoughts of the commissioners with the images.”
Hindafing
“Something new and excitingly unusual has really been ventured here. Composer David Reichelt plays the saxophone himself.”
Breaking Even
“The look is period gritty and cool, the music atmospheric, and the cast really well and unconstrainedly diverse.”
8 days
“Eight Days already sets the tone in the opening credits: David Reichelt mixes motifs and texts from the Stabat mater and from Tristis est anima mea (Afflicted is my soul) for his composition.”
King Laurin
“”One Single Rose” from “King Laurin” was named “Best Song in a Film” in Halle with the German Film Music Award 2017. For composer David Reichelt, it was the culmination of a long road of suffering. And passion. A Portrait.”
Hindafing
“The new BR production is amazingly quirky and has been given a soundtrack to match: Jazzy and unconventional.”
Hindafing (2nd season)
“Unchanged great is the quirky, jazzy soundtrack by David Reichelt.”
King Laurin
“For the film King Laurin, David Reichelt created a fairy-tale musical fantasy world. For the opulent orchestral sounds of the Laurin production, Reichelt had the Babelsberg Film Orchestra at his disposal for two days.”
8 days
“Composer David Reichelt is once again the big winner at the German Film Music Awards after 2017.”
Crime scene Dreams
“Musically, the film is framed by the multi-layered score of Munich composer David Reichelt, whose sound synthesis of traditional orchestral sounds and electronically altered or sampled set pieces of the same music very subtly sets apart the different levels of the film’s plot.”
