Amazing soundtrack to this 1929 footage. Have heard it somewhere before but can’t quite place it. Does anyone know where this music has been used before? I’d love to find out…
Owned this on CD around the time it released, it fell out of my listening for many years, and I've recently re-bought it on vinyl. A timeless gem. I highly recommend their most recent release in 2019 To Believe. They haven't missed a beat in that timespan
Brilliant edit, brilliant score! Just a humble request: If the same edit could be applied to the newly restored BFI edition, then we could see the same in HD. (Although I loved Michael Nyman's score too)
First time I've heard that tune more than decade ago and now I can easily confess that's the one of the best jazzy tune I've ever heard in my honest...
I saw them performing this music live to the silent movie back in the day or release - a very special and unique performance. The movie was playing on a big screen, while they where sitting slightly lower, just outside the projector beam, all dressed in black. I wanted to watch the movie, but also see them perform.
I mean, besides the fact that this song was written to accompany this movie (though not in its state as displayed here). They were commissioned to create a new soundtrack for this film.
Travis Tooson I don't enjoy the Nyman score nearly as much. It's often too hectic and mostly straight out bores me. I never came back to it after watching the Cinematic Orchestra Version
Yup at the beginning an oboe together with a bass clarinet and solo instrument is a soprano sax. The "main tune" sounds like it is played by a flugelhorn.
