Reply To: FSM # 25: Favourite film scores of entire film history?
As subjective as these bes of lists are. Didn’t we have a similar topic about decades or so?
Some silent movie scores I would maybe list (there are more as many movies had several ones)
1913 Der Student von Prag (The Student of Prague) (Joseph Weiss – said to be the first original German score)
1921 Im Kampf mit dem Berge (In Sturm und Eis) (Paul Hindemith)
1923: La Roue (Arthur Honegger – Paul Fosse must be added here. Honegger wrote the overture and around 5 pieces only – the rest – 7+ hours is basically a compilation by Fosse)
1924 Die Nibelungen (Gottfried Huppertz)
1926 The Adventures Of Prince Achmed (Wolfgang Zeller)
1927 Napoleon (Arthur Honegger)
1928 October (Edmund Meisel – don’t know the Shostakovich one)
1929 The New Babylon (Dmitri Shostakovich)
