Recorded in 2019, this recording features one of greatest European orchestras, the Frankfurt Radio Symphony, along with conductor Mark Fitz-Gerald who has an unparalleled reputation for performing the very specialized task of accompanying silent films live with orchestra. The score was written by the American composer Mortimer Wilson at the specific request of the film's main star actor Douglas Fairbanks. The Thief of Bagdad is now widely considered one of the great silent films and Fairbanks's greatest work. For the first time, Fairbanks recognized the composer as a creative collaborator from the start in the overall composition of his film (Wilson spent many hours in the projection room working out precise timings for every scene). Wilson was essentially a classical composer. Indeed, you can hear influences of Puccini's aria Vissi d'arte from Tosca, hints of Wagner's Valkyrie, along with moments of Alban Berg, Reger and Tchaikovsky. Fairbanks biographer Jeffrey Vance writes, \"An epic romantic fantasy-adventure inspired by several of the Arabian Nights tales, The Thief of Bagdad is the greatest artistic triumph of Fairbanks's career. The superb visual design, spectacle, imaginative splendor, and visual effects, along with his bravura performance (leading a cast of literally thousands), all contribute to making this his masterpiece.\"\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cdiv data-bt-autogen\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTracklist:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrelude (From \u0026amp;quot;The Thief Of Bagdad\u0026amp;quot; [1924]) [Live]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Holy Man (From \u0026amp;quot;The Thief Of Bagdad\u0026amp;quot; [1924]) [Live]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Street In Bagdad (From \u0026amp;quot;The Thief Of Bagdad\u0026amp;quot; [1924]) [Live]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHungar (From \u0026amp;quot;The Thief Of Bagdad\u0026amp;quot; [1924]) [Live]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Magic Rope (From \u0026amp;quot;The Thief Of Bagdad\u0026amp;quot; [1924]) [Live]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Mosque (From \u0026amp;quot;The Thief Of Bagdad\u0026amp;quot; [1924]) [Live]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Thief At Work (From \u0026amp;quot;The Thief Of Bagdad\u0026amp;quot; [1924]) [Live]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBird Of Evil (From \u0026amp;quot;The Thief Of Bagdad\u0026amp;quot; [1924]) [Live]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Palace At Ho Sho (From \u0026amp;quot;The Thief Of Bagdad\u0026amp;quot; [1924]) [Live]\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOpen Wide The Gates!
