Anton Karas - Filmmusik Der dritte Mann - live - 1982 Anton Karas (* 7. Juli 1906 in Wien; ? 10. Januar 1985 ebenda) war ein österreichischer Zitherspieler, Komponist und Gastwirt. Karas wuchs im klassischen Wiener Arbeiterbezirk Brigittenau mit vier Geschwistern auf. Während einer Schlosserlehre besuchte er Abendkurse an der Pollux-Musikschule. Nachdem er 1925 von seinem Arbeitgeber gekündigt wurde, war er fortan hauptberuflich in verschiedenen Heurigenlokalen als Zitherspieler tätig. 1948 wurde er vom englischen Filmregisseur Carol Reed, der für seinen in Wien spielenden Film Der dritte Mann eine passende Begleitmusik suchte, entdeckt. 1949 komponierte Karas das weltberühmte Harry Lime Theme, benannt nach der Filmfigur Harry Lime, und trug damit wesentlich zum legendären Erfolg dieses Films bei, der in der Tat in einem nicht geringen Maß von dieser Musik geradezu lebt. Die eindringliche Melodie wurde zum Hit, der bis dahin völlig unbekannte Karas wurde zum umjubelten Star. Bereits drei Wochen nach Erscheinen des Filmes hatte er 100.000 Schallplatten verkauft. Er ging auf eine mehrjährige Welttournee, wobei er ua vor dem Papst und dem japanischen Kaiser Hirohito auftrat. Zurück in Wien eröffnete er 1953 in Sievering das Nobelheurigenlokal Zum dritten Mann.. + Informações

The Third Man (1949) is a classic thriller directed by Carol Reed. Developed by Graham Greene from an idea jotted down on the flap of an envelope, this virtually flawless thriller is one of the best British films of all time. Set in postwar occupied Vienna, the plot is a corker, littered with memorable moments and played to perfection by an unforgettable cast that's led with distinction by Orson Welles and Joseph Cotten. A master of place, angle and shade, director Carol Reed (helped by his Oscar-winning cinematographer Robert Krasker) fashions a city in which menace lurks around every corner, while Anton Karas's jaunty zither music uniquely echoes the wit and drama of this dark yet daringly playful picture. The musical score was composed by Anton Karas and played by him on the zither. Before the production came to Vienna, Karas was an unknown wine bar performer. According to a November 1949 Time magazine article: "The picture demanded music appropriate to post-World War II Vienna, but director Reed had made up his mind to avoid schmalzy, heavily orchestrated waltzes. In Vienna one night Reed listened to a wine-garden zitherist named Anton Karas, [and] was fascinated by the jangling melancholy of his music.". + Informações
