Berlin Alexanderplatz (O.S.T.) by Peer Raben

"Berlin Alexanderplatz" is a 14-part German miniseries directed by Rainer Werner Fassbinder and broadcast on WDR from October 12 to December 29, 1980. The series is a film adaptation of the 1929 novel of the same name by Alfred Döblin.  Peer Raben wrote ( *1940, † 2017) the film's score. His score of Berlin Alexanderplatz reflects the sad and hopeless atmosphere of the main character (Franz Biberkopf) and his surroundings, a country and its society devastated by one war and soon destroyed by another, a place that was no place for a man who wanted to maintain his life.
