"The score's striking highlight is a theme that pays tribute to the event in "They'll Remember You," with four minutes of elegant choral and string work underneath a solemn female soprano voice."
~ FIlmtracks-Modern Soundtrack Review

"They'll Remember You" is truly a thing of beauty... The opening cue, "They'll Remember You", the end title theme sung by Rundfunkchor with soprano solo by Sylke Schwab, were from a Goethe poem "Wanderers Nachtiled II" adapted by Ottman and Rosner and is truly a thing of beauty, and the highlight of the CD. A somber religious piece, it is one that could be added to any compilation CD and in this reviewer's opinion a contender for best track of 2008! If you do nothing else download this one track."

“They’ll Remember You” could very well the greatest single cue....; it’s an emotional, poignant string elegy that gradually emerges into a graceful, moving choral piece sung in German by a cut-glass female soprano and a noble-sounding male voice choir, with lyrics that come from a poem by playwright Johann Wolfgang von Goethe. This magnificent opening cue sets up Valkyrie to be a masterpiece... The “Midnight Waltz” is a mid-album curio featuring a lush, classical waltz for piano and string orchestra clearly intended to reflect the level of opulence that prevailed in certain parts of Nazi Germany during the era. The opening cue is so good I almost wish he had written it for a different movie – one which would have allowed him to explore this style of writing more thoroughly."

"The opening hymn, “They'll Remember You”, composed by Ottman with Lior Rosner, is a salute to the sacrifice made by all involved and is a tremendous artistic success for Ottman who utilizes the voices of The Rundfunkchor Berlin and mezzo soprano Sylke Schwab to emotionally devastating effect. The piece is comprised of two repeating phrases in which both orchestra and choir call and answer together the words of the German poem “Wanderers Nachtiled Il” by Goethe. Yet for all the soul in the words themselves (and I'll leave you to discover those for yourself) it is when the choir is wordless that the real heart of Ottman and Rosner's composition is felt, crying not only for Stauffenberg and his comrades, but for all of Ger- many who were too afraid to make their stand for that which they knew to be right and just."
