About this listen
In "Der Richter und sein Henker" bereits todkrank, bleibt Kommissär Bärlach nicht viel Zeit, seinen ewigen Gegenspieler, den Meisterverbrecher Gastmann, zu überführen. Doch ein Mord (den nicht Gastmann begangen hat) scheint eine Möglichkeit zu bieten ...
"Das Versprechen" behandelt ein ganz anderes Thema von jedoch trauriger Aktualität: Sexualverbrechen an Kindern. Verbissen ist hier Kommissär Matthäi auf der Jagd nach einem Kindermörder. Um ihn zur Strecke zu bringen, scheut er keine Gefahr.
Enthalten sind die Kriminalromane:
- Der Verdacht
- Der Richter und sein Henker
- Das Versprechen

Story
Das Meisterwerk von Thomas Mann als vielstimmiges Hörspiel. Vier Generationen einer Lübecker Kaufmannsfamilie, die zum Inbegriff einer Seelengeschichte des deutschen Bürgertums wurden: Urgroßvater Johann Buddenbrook, tatkräftig und lebenstüchtig, repräsentiert noch das unerschütterte Lebensgefühl des 18. Jahrhunderts. Das Ansehen der Familie erreicht mit seinem Enkel Thomas, Senator Buddenbrook, ihren Höhepunkt.

Story
Oskar Matzerath ist anders. Mit drei Jahren beschließt er, nicht weiter zu wachsen. Der groteske Außenseiter betrachtet die Welt mit schonungslos-sarkastischem Blick "von unten". Sein ständiger Begleiter ist eine Blechtrommel. Mit ihr ertrommelt er sich Distanz, fordert, schreckt auf. Wird sie ihm genommen, setzt er sich mit einem Schrei zur Wehr, der Glas zerspringen lässt. So absonderlich der zornige Zwerg ist, so frei ist er. Oskar ist ein unerbittlich scharfsinniger Beobachter des Danziger Kleinbürgertums im "Dritten Reich".

Story
"Dein Leben soll kalt sein – darum darfst du keinen Menschen lieben!" Das ist der Preis, den der geniale Komponist Adrian Leverkühn dem Teufel dafür bezahlen muss, dass ihn die Inspiration nicht mehr verlässt. Die Regie von Leonhard Koppelmann hält gekonnt die Balance zwischen der dämonisch-düsteren Grundstimmung und den humoristischen Zwischenakkorden. Gemeinsam mit dem Komponisten Hermann Kretzschmar lässt der Regisseur einen klanggewaltigen Hörfilm mit musikalischer Tiefenschärfe abrollen, bei dem Dialogszenen, Erzählertexte, Musik und Geräusche harmonisch zusammenklingen.

Story
"Mephisto" erzählt die Geschichte des Schauspielers Hendrik Höfgen, von seinen Anfängen im Hamburger Künstlertheater 1926 bis zum Jahr 1936, als es Höfgen (in manchen Zügen unverkennbar Gustaf Gründgens) zum gefeierten Star des neuen Reiches gebracht hat. Höfgen geht dafür jedoch einen Teufelspakt ein und verrät die humanen Werte, für die er einst eintrat. "Mephisto" ist ein zeitkritisches Panorama der Zustände im Dritten Reich - mit deutlich satirischen Elementen -, eine Geschichte von Anpassung und Widerstand.

Narziß und Goldmund sind Freunde, wie sie unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten: Der eine ein Denker, selbstbeherrscht, rational und prinzipientreu. Der andere ein kindlicher Träumer, Genießer und Sinnenmensch, voller Lebenslust und tiefem Gefühl. Der eine führt ein strenges Leben im Kloster, der andere begibt sich auf Wanderschaft in die Welt. Und doch knüpfen gerade ihre Gegensätzlichkeit und Bewunderung für den jeweils anderen das Band ihrer Freundschaft. In ihren Gesprächen zeigt sich Hesse als ein Maler mit Worten und ein tiefer Kenner der menschlichen Seele.

Story
Gerade aus der Haft entlassen, möchte sich Franz Biberkopf eine neue Existenz aufbauen. Doch den Lockungen der Großstadt kann er nicht widerstehen und wird schon bald wieder in kriminelle Machenschaften verwickelt, die ihn fast an den Galgen bringen. Das bewegende Schicksal des Arbeiters Franz Biberkopf, der sich in einer Welt des Verbrechens verirrt, steht exemplarisch für den Kampf des kleinen Mannes in einer unsicher gewordenen Welt. Döblin schuf damit einen Jahrhundertroman, der häufig mit "Ulysses" verglichen wird. Hannes Messemer liest diese atemlose, polyphone Symphonie der Großstadt bravourös ein.

Aus der Rückschau des Jahres 1959 erzählt Pilenz vom bewunderten und verachteten Klassenkameraden Mahlke im Danzig der Kriegszeit, den sein übergroßer Adamsapfel zum Außenseiter macht. Mahlke führt einen verzweifelten Kampf um seine Integration und wird doch im Sieg endgültig scheitern. Auch das Ritterkreuz, von dem er sich - Perversion der Zeit gemäß - Erlösung durch Bedeckung seiner Blöße erhofft, verhilft ihm nicht zum Frieden mit der Welt.

Two little girls stand with their heads bowed in my living room. I’m told they’re my granddaughters. Daisy is nine, and Alice seven. Daisy is the spitting image of her mother. This is the first time I’ve met them since my daughter and I fell out after she married that waste of space, Vince. They’ve come to live with me because their mother — my daughter — was murdered. In her own home while they slept close by. I think Vince killed her. But the police can’t prove it. I’ve always known he was no good. He treated my daughter like dirt. I said he’d cheat on her — but she wouldn’t listen.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.

Jazz Bashara is a criminal. Well, sort of. Life on Artemis, the first and only city on the moon, is tough if you're not a rich tourist or an eccentric billionaire. So smuggling in the occasional harmless bit of contraband barely counts, right? Not when you've got debts to pay and your job as a porter barely covers the rent. Everything changes when Jazz sees the chance to commit the perfect crime, with a reward too lucrative to turn down.

Very well done performance
Would you consider the audio edition of Drei Kriminalromane to be better than the print version?
I absolutely think that it's very helpful to listen to the book. I tried to read "Der Richter und sein Henker," and stopped, because I just couldn't get into the story on my own. Hans Korte made the story's come to life and kept me listening all day long. I am native German and could understand the performance easily--the print versions were tougher to understand. I finished the books in one day at 2X speed and it feels like an accomplishment to have read something I wanted to read for a long time in such a short time.
What did you like best about this story?
There is a timelessness these stories. They are crime novels, but they have a timeless moral so to speak. They speak of evil, revenge, and the desire to bring justice into a world where that's not always possible.
Which scene was your favorite?
I'd have to say when in the third book the narrator goes into what could have become of the story if it were a film with a hero, which this book became with Heinz Ruehmann and Gert Froebe.
