perfect score for a perfect movie.......2007-02-19

Carol Reed's veteran cinematographer Robert Krasker's quirky angles under Reed's direction perfectly framed the ready-made-for-an-art designer bombed out shadows and stark, isolated street lights of post-war Vienna and its underworld. Unique to cinema history the whole score (but for some canned incidental cafe music) was just the brilliant zither playing of Anton Karas, adding his nuances to every dramatic transition. Krasker won an Oscar, and Karas was nominated.

The "Third Man Theme" (also known as the "Harry Lime Theme") is alternately brittle, jaunty, bittersweet, romantic, wry, and even sardonic piece of music--which fits the mood of the story and the film perfectly -- that, once heard, can't be forgotten.

The "Third Man Theme" turned Anton Karas into a wealthy man after 28 years of toiling in obscurity an relative poverty in Vienna.

One night, Carol Reed was passing by a wine tavern where growers offer their own wines for sale directly, and heard Anton Karas's playing in the background. Reed had never heard a zither before and found the sound to be attractive. He approached Karas and persuaded him to play for him at his hotel, and made a recording, which Reed brought back to the studio to test. He liked the effect when the zither's sound was placed against the recorded dialogue and, ignoring the protests of many around him, hired Karas and brought him to London for 12 weeks.

Anton Karas screened the movie hundreds of times, devising music for each scene. The Third Man ended up with a vast amount of music, scored in virtually every scene of its 104 minutes. Ironically, the piece that became known as the "Third Man Theme" was something that Anton Karas had written two decades earlier and hadn't played in over 15 years. As he later explained to Reed, playing the zither for a whole night for tips was hard work, and one tended to play the easiest pieces the most often, to save the fingers.

Other zither players never got it to sound just right. The truth was that as recorded for the movie, "The Third Man Theme" was one of the first practical examples of overdubbing on a hit record, rivaling Les Paul's work--Anton Karas had gotten just the right effect working underneath Reed's kitchen table, and had gotten the piece just right by recording and mixing more than one zither part.

The Third Man was finished and prepared for release, and Reed and the production company, London Films, tried to raise interest in it through the music. None of the record companies, however, was interested in recording Karas or releasing the "Third Man Theme." The music was too strange and different, and although British movies had produced some soundtrack successes in the past, those were usually more conventional light classical pieces, not a jangly piece of music played on a central European folk instrument.

Pleasant "ethnic" melodies.......2007-01-22

The tunes on this disc have a nice, comforting sound. Some of the selections are haunting, some have a peasant-liveliness. Nothing great or revolutionary, but plain good zither music, very enjoyable.

Third Man & Other Original Records.......2006-11-10

We bought it for a friend. They loved it.

The first man of the zither.......2006-03-10

The CD didn't sound as good as the movie sound track. Ity sounded a bit rushed as if the sampling during the transfer was not sufficient

This is the one you're looking for........2004-04-26

You've been looking for the original version of the music in "The Third Man", right? Every other CD on the market wouldn't work for you. But lucky for you, this is the one! Don't go wrong.

The recordings are fair at best. The performances poor to better.

I will dispose of this one.

25 Sentimental Favorites.......2000-06-19

I used to think that classical music is boring, but this CD has changed my mind. The first time I listened to this CD I said, its OK. Later every time I listen to it I discover a new beautiful music. I feel calm and relaxed. I mostly liked the Borodin, Mozart and Faure songs. It is really 25 sentimental favorites. Now, many titles of the 25 "?" Favorites are on my wish list....

superb recreation of original film score.......2006-12-15

This recreation of the original film score is far superior to recordings made by Karas, in fidelity, dynamic expression and nuance. The sound clips from the film are refreshing, although, I would have liked to have had at least one by the beautiful Alida Valli. Play the cd in your computer and watch the artist in the studio playing The Third Man Theme.

Caveat Emptor.......2006-03-30

This is not original soundtrack from, yes, of course, one of the very greatest films. It's a weak, metallic, often even off key botching up of one of the arguably greatest soundtrack of all time. Best thing is to look for "The best of Anton Karas" cd. The only ping is that even on that collection - the harrowing 'Anna Walks Away Past That Smelly Skunk Martins' (as you can maybe tell I actually do like Harry Lime way more than that ugly little snitch!) - isn't on either.

Must be my equipment?.......2006-03-11

I tried this disc in 4 PC CD players, 1 progressive scan JVC DVD/CD player and a PS2. On the PC's you saw a graphics page with areas in yellow. Lower right section had two areas to click. One for a video of Ms. Gertrud Huber playing the Harry Lime Theme by Anton Karas. The other had web site links. The tracks would not play. The (20 tracks) would be visible as blocks in the PS2 screen, but each had to be selected and there was no play through. There was the addition of dialogue at the beginning of each track (following the film/music structure). As the CD would come up (on the PC) you would hear the Harry Lime Theme playing. Amazon replaced it with another disc that did the same thing, which helped me decide to get the movie (I would have preferred to have a vehicle for hearing the soundtracks that would work in a PC, or a CD player). I am not qualified (or sensitive enough) to 'rate' the movie. I will say if you have never seen it, rent it and fast forward (treat yourself) to the last 2 minutes (see http://imv.au.dk/publikationer/pov/Issue_02/section_3/artc3C.html). Play it back with no music, then with music. Play it back at different times and through different moods and you will appreciate one of the finest works of film in existence coupled with one of the finest pieces of music ever produced. No single 'scene' can show you the promises of the past and let you feel the horror of regret. A mystical view that soon reveals Anna walking toward the camera, through the tree lined road, passing Holly is a statement and genius unto itself. The Karas compositions are brilliant, but this one is an everyman's masterpiece. What a gift (of course see the film. It is after all - superb!).

Very Disappointing.......2006-01-21

Alas, this CD has the music from the movie played competently by a woman named Gertie Huber with snippets of dialogue tossed in. Don't be deceived by the packaging! If you're looking for the original dialogue and soundtrack--get the movie on DVD from Criterion. If it's the original music you're after, as I was, make certain you buy a CD with the music played by the original artist: Anton Karas on the Zither. Bottom line: perfectly pleasant. But I learned my lesson--read more carefully before I order!

"one of the Greatest Themes ever ~ The Third Man".......2003-06-12

Who was Harry Lime? Has he anything to do with the Cold War, intrigue involving spies, or has this just been another of what has been termed as "The Third Man"? From the pen of Graham Greene, directed by Carol Reed we move mysteriously through the sewers of Vienna. The cast gave us suspenseful performances with Joseph Cotton, Trevor Howard, Alida Valli and oh yes, Orson Welles as The Third Man. Nominated for several Academy Awards, won for Best Cinematography ~ as Carol Reed won for Best Director at Grand Prix at the Cannes Film Festival. But what made this classic film even more classic was the zither and composer Anton Karas ~ only to become one of cinemas most recognizable scores, the ultimate "Harry Lime Theme" sending memories of betrayal and suspense that filled the big screen.

Silva America has done a magnificent job in putting together this World Premiere recording of the score, this time around with Gertrud Huber playing the solos ~ along with The City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra conducted by Nic Raine. Entire album with dialogue inclusive within each key cue is brilliant. When you play this "film-score-buffs" classic, you will once again visualize the film or want to see it again on DVD ~ watch the gripping story unfold as Orson Welles recreates his character through the complete score of "The Third Man"!

Total Time: 48:12 on 20 Tracks ~ Silva America 1151 ~ (6/10/2003)

A Little Night Magic.......2003-07-10

Do you want a disc that will provide you with 73+ minutes of hypnotic music for romance, or background music while reading a good frivolous book? Here's the Hollywood Bowl under John Mauceri bringing lovely, intelligent renderings of waltes from various corners of the realm. Sondheim's "Night Waltzes" from ":A Little Night Music" are so Fifth Avenue. Move on to Paris with waltzes from "Gigi", the to Moscow with the dark velvet "Waltz" from Cinderella by Prokofiev. "La Valse" by Ravel is a grand, sweeping evocative waltz that feels like a soak in the tub with lavendar and candles, and the "Waltz" from "Candide" also sparkles with Bernstein's Broadway. Other waltes in the mix are the sultry "Waltz" from "Murder on the Orient Express" by Richard Rodney Bennett, the plaintive "Waltz" from the score of "Madame Bovary" by Miklos Rozsa. Other waltzes are deliciously selected from "The Prince and the Pauper", "The Snows of Kilimanjaro" , "Jezebel", and several by the Strauss family, noted for their swirling music in three-quarter time.
This is a lovely collection of music, most of which hasn't hit Muzak, or the automated radio stations. It's marked with individuality and love. You may not immediately know these pieces, but you'll feel wonderful under the spell of their overall expressions.
