Nice. Schubert was Austrian but I think it counts.
Also, it just occurred to me that Rammstein’s “Dalai Lama” is an adaptation of the same story (originally a poem by J.W. Goethe).
Schubert was quite the musical gangster BTW. He wrote the Erlkönig at 18, and despite only living to 31, he composed some 1,500 works and managed to gain enough fame to be buried next to Beethoven. His Mass No. 2 in G Major is one of my favorite pieces. It’s short and sweet (only 22 minutes) but full of bravura, dramatic soli, and the Credo has a violin riff that wouldn’t feel out of place in a heavy metal show.
and the soundtrack
The more literal soundtrack
Nice. Literally the same story.
English lyrics for those who can’t German.
