Leipzig

Faust
MDR-Sinfonieorchester conducted by Ben Palmer - Oper Leipzig


Program Info:
Bernd Schultheis - "Faust - a German folk tale"
Silent film by Friedrich Wilhelm Murnau (1925)

Silent films of the 1920s sought great material, and Faust offers everything a great cinema needs: a pact with the devil for eternal youth, a love story, forces of good and evil, seduction, social ostracism, and ultimately, redemption through love. Murnau's expressionistic style helped the story achieve an impressive performance, supported by a musical accompaniment originally composed by Werner Richard Heymann using motifs from Richard Wagner and Richard Strauss. Bernd Schultheis wrote a new score for the film – the score was created in 1999 and has been performed repeatedly with great success ever since.
