5.0 out of 5 stars That Song, September 8, 2000

By A Customer

If you love "Das Boot" this CD is a must, but there are those among us who ask why they didn't include the Tipperary song and particularly, "What is that French song?"

Fans will remember the scene when the captain asks the radio operator to play a certain record for him. The radio man smiles and plays, "J'attendrai" by Rina Ketty, but it isn't included in the soundtrack and the producers fail to list this recording in the end credits of the film.

If you, like the captain, love this recording...it is available on Amazon.com on a great CD entitled "Les Grandes Chansons Francaises: Classic Hits of French Song" on band #3. These are recordings that helped sustain Europeans who lived through World War II and, like the captain, remind them of better times. Listen, especially, to the anthem of those days, band #14, "Parlez-Moi D'Amour" by Lucienne Boyer.

5.0 out of 5 stars Doldinger's other big score!!!!!, May 17, 1999

By	Ingo Kaiser (Regensburg, Bavaria, Germany) - See all my reviews

"Das Boot" is Doldinger's first major filmscore and is together with "Die Unendliche Geschichte"(Neverending Story) his best work. This score is so hauntingly brilliant, be it the main theme that you will be whizzling for hours to come or other cues that will make you believe you are trapped in a submarine some 1000 feet under the sea.One of my favorite cues on the album is "Auslaufen". It's a really moving theme that is similiar to "Sümpfe der Traurigkeit"(Swamps of sadness) in the 'Neverending Story'.To have it complete you should buy this German import CD.

4.0 out of 5 stars Power and Darkness, May 17, 2000

By	Richard P. Mayhew (Silver Spring, MD USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The soundtrack to this film composed, arranged, directed and produced by Klaus Doldinger will evoke vivid images of the movie if you have seen Das Boot which is one of the finest war films ever made. If you have not seen the movie you will still be able to understand the emotions of excitement, fear, relief and even boredom which grip the crew of the U-96 protrayed in the film. I enjoy listening to the soundtrack while at work on my headphones. The music paints an emotional canvas, it's hard not to let it effect you, but if you enjoy high quality classical music you will like this CD. The tune MUSS I DENN will remind you of standing on a pier watching a ship return to (or leaving) port. MON GARS and SCHWARZE AUGEN sound what I imagine the interior of a French night club from the 40's would sound like. I used to have the album version which included the TIPARARI SONG, that tune was not included on this CD, too bad as it's a neat song. The CD has a section (tracks 25-30) that include dialoge and sound effects, try it on your suround sound hi-fi stereo...you will be glad your occupation is not sub-driver as the destroyers close in with sonar and depth charges! Has this soundtrack gotten old sounding over the years? "Not yet commrade, not yet!"
