Original Scores Faust (1926, score 1995)
Instrumentation
List 2 flutes
(II dbl. picc.) Reviews: Music composed and
conducted by Timothy Brock, who sets off the film's sound and fury with
a diabolically engaging performance, making Faust a radiant jewel...a
masterpiece. An excellent orchestral
score by Timothy Brock and the Olympia Chamber Orchestra is one of the
most effective in recent memory, delicately accentuating the action without
any jarring electronic flourishes or pretentious "old timey"
inflections to the music. Another fine orchestral
score by Timothy Brock and the Olympia Chamber Orchestra accompanies the
film. Brock manages to evoke musical images in a Germanic tone, and that
ominous tone is always an appropriate mood setter for this film. We wish
that all video editions of silent era films could afford this orchestral
treatment. Anyone who thinks of
silent films as sluggish and amateurish has obviously never seen Faust;
the home video release on Kino compliments the film's striking visuals
with a superb original score by the American composer Timothy Brock that's
worthy of attention on its own merits.
