Soundtrack to the TV film in four parts, "Jahrestage", directed by Margarethe von Trotta (with Suzanne von Borsody and Mathias Habich in the roles of the protagonists) after the four-part novel by Uwe Johnson. Johnson is - besides Grass and Boll - considered to be one of the leading, unerrent and shrewd, chroniclers of the recent German history. The scenes take the viewer to the former German Democratic Republic of the 1960s and 1970s, the Federal Republic of Germany, New York, and in flashbacks into the Weimar Republic, the so-called "Third Reich", the terrible time of World War II with the difficult post-war situation. At the Festival International de Programmes Audiovisuels which took place in Biarritz from 16 to 21 January 2001, the composer Enjott Schneider from Munich, whose stylistically wide-ranging œuvre comprises the opera "Albert - warum?" (Regensburg, 1999), the symphonies "Glockensinfonie. Lied an das Leben" (Domstufenfestspiele Erfurt, 1999) and "Sisyphos" (Herkulessaal Munich, 2001) as well as numerous film musics ("Schlafes Bruder", "23", "Stalingrad", "Das Madchen Rosemarie", etc.), received the golden film award "Fipa d'or" for the best film music ("Meilleure musique originale") in the category "Series et feuilletons". This European prize was awarded to him for his music for the four-part ARD television film "Jahrestage" (directed by Margarethe von Trotta after a novel of Uwe Johnson) which had been released by WERGO on the label ALCRA (ALC 54012) in November 2000.
