Anton Karas - Third Man / O.s.t.

Release Date:04/28/2017;Notes:One of the greatest British thrillers of the post-war era, in the last fifty years THE THIRD MAN has emerged as a classic, topping the British Film Institute Top 100 List (1999/2000). Directed by Carol Reed, and produced by Alexander Korda and David O Selznick, this clever mystery tale of a love triangle with nightmarish suspense, treachery, betrayal, guilt and disillusionment, was Reed's second collaboration with screenwriter Graham Greene. Carol Reed discovered Anton Karas performing on his zither in a Viennese tavern and immediately envisaged this as the perfect music score for THE THIRD MAN - the music of the street corner, sidewalk café and once proud boulevards._x000D_ _x000D_ Though without experience in film scoring, Anton Karas proved to be a talented melodist with an excellent understanding of the then contemporary street sounds of Vienna. He came up with what's today known as THE THIRD MAN signature tune - the brilliant HARRY LIME THEME whose nonchalant swagger became one of the great cinema score classics._x000D_ _x000D_ Playing the theme on this record is GERTRUD HUBER, the acclaimed soloist from Bavaria. Gertrud has performed as both a solo artist and with various chamber orchestras and groups in Cincinnati, Vienna, Insbruck, Tokyo, Leipzig and Salzburg.
