Harry Lime Theme

[@romanclay1913]

During WW2, Graham Greene & Kim Philby worked together for MI6. The name "Harry Lime" is an amalgamation of their names: "Harry" is Harold A. R. Philby while "Lime" is Greene. The real black market activity in post-WW2 Vienna was espionage.

Bravo,i never tire off listening to this piece,and off course the film.

[@richardpiper6265]

To keep myself awake on winter evenings driving home I played a tape of this and cranked up the radio and hummed along loudly. Never fell asleep at the wheel.

[@harmonyherb]

LOVE THE TUNE AND THE SOUND OF THE INSTRUMENT. TAKES GREAT SKILL TO PLAY.

[@CaresinVerse]

I LOVED The Third Man film so much. Had a crush on Joseph Cotten and used to yell at the screen when the lady his character liked walked by him instead of joining him as she was still loyal to Harry Lime. Great memories of that wonderful film and its music. Great job on that beautiful instrument!

[@tsavy7320]

Thank you! It sure is a Great movie! And the ending scene is great too, although she walked by. 😩

[@musikafossora]

oh yes ❤ he was very handsome

[@lizf4717]

My uncle used to play that it's been years since I've heard it but when I did it made me cry.

[@karenhauge3773]

I love this. The instrument is amazing.

[@DeeMoback]

LOVE THIS ..... watched the movie about 30 times...... LOL....I listen to the music and it brings back scenes from the movie in my head

[@bigmuddy1]

Nice playing, great sounding instrument!

[@LoriThomas-yk7tc]

Yes I agree that's with any instrument you play i like this one very interesting 🤗

[@Oswald_Anthony]

The best music never dies...

[@KainRazielMT]

I think many people don't realize, this takes immense practice and finger coordination.

[@london19657]

Unless you ever tried to learn to play an instrument .

[@llRoBoBinHoll]

I think it’s quite obvious to anyone watching this to be honest

[@paisleybabee]

​@llRoBoBinHoll not necessarily. Non musicians often don't notice such things.

[@chrispetersen113]

Absolutely marvelous!!

[@chrispetersen113]

I liked this more and more upon repeated viewings!

[@glennkoons1560]

My wife survived war time Vienna and we went to visit after we married. Looked for The Third Man but did not find him!!!!!

[@platocat620]

It is so simple ..... i just love the sound of the Zither

[@kanifol62]

Wonderful! )))

[@kabouktli]

Incredible! So virtuosic, and yet so beautiful and, after all, simple to hear. Immense effort, but carefully hidden in order to let the music talk without obstales.

[@BeautifulJ]

Very nice

[@edwardreilly9098]

Well struck!

[@RmarkGillmer]

How many people knew what song this was from the title? Thanks for a wonderful video.

[@harpgal9950]

Wonderful!

[@williamboyd8146]

BRAVO! BRAVO!

[@lgkopp]

Unforgettable

[@scopex2749]

VERY GOOD i bought a100 year old concert zither to restore and try to learn but its harder than the guitar 🤣 I LOVED Anton Karas and the movie. Karas was treated terribly and paid very little for making the music for the fim he died in poverty 😢😭

[@tsavy7320]

That is truly sad because it is one of the greatest film-scores ever made in movies history.

[@meh8982]

That's so terrible! The zither music set and sustained the mood so perfectly for that wonderful movie. It was so important they actually showed the instrument being played at the start of the film.

[@giulianoprosperi6611]

Amo questa musica perché mi riporta nel bel tempo che fu.

[@大池夏彦]

日本からのzither playの勉強です。ぜひマスターします。分かりやすく丁寧です

[@fernandocrnkovic4855]

WONDERFUL!!!

[@amilton557]

That's amazing!

[@stephenspencer4672]

That's a beautiful atoharp.😊❤

[@ernestmueller2330]

You can't better Anton Karas. He had the feel and Spirit of old Vienna.

[@barbosaoliveira187]

[@francklun8630]

Odlično !

[@ursulazangl1655]

Coool!

[@nilcasas23]

If you play the video at 1x25 you will hear it at original speed

[@robertshrewsbury5067]

A nice introduction to a zither. Had heard of the word but had no connection to what they looked or sounded like. Thank you.

[@garyknoblock9400]

I think this is a movie theme called 'The Third Man', a real thriller.

[@michaelthomas4630]

So long, Holly.

[@w.l.graves7228]

one of my favorite songs ! thank you for playing it ! the instrument appears to be vintage from the decal , but looks as new .. this a zither with a complementary 5 string fretted neck , correct ? who is the maker , and what exactly is it called ? thank you !

[@tsavy7320]

This is ”Horst Wünche” zither. Made in DDR. I dont know the year of manufacture, but it is very good zither.

[@TorpedoEight]

Actually thought this was 2 instruments (or more) when I first heard it.

[@tsavy7320]

When i saw the film ”Third Man” first time back in the 80’s i thought ”this band plays so well together”. Then my father told me that it’ s just one man who plays the music…I didn,t believe first. 😄

[@alexandrepied-kavaeff5585]

👍🎶👍🎶👍🎶👍🎶👍🎶👍🎶👍

[@romanclay1913]

Two different hands are playing..

[@wandadumas5810]

Busque el nombre del instrumento y se llama cítara. En lo que tengo dudas es si la original tiene ese puente de guitarra, porque hay unas que no tienen esa parte.

[@walterveuhoff84]

Balsam fuer meine ohren

[@Kingeroy]

Thank you for this video !!! What tuning is it, münchener or wiener ? Thanks again.

[@tsavy7320]

It is Viennese-tuning. 👍

[@pdeblois1880]

Played on a German Zither

[@BerthaSantoyo]

Q es? No conosco el unstrumento se oye bonito

[@tsavy7320]

thank you! it's a zither

[@stevesmith6058]

It’s called a zither

[@sondrayork6317]

this sounds similar to catfishing from SpongeBob LOL

[@tsavy7320]

That is true! There is a similar sounding theme in it! 😁

[@Shannon_ODonnell]

Would you say this is a polka?

[@BerthaSantoyo]

No enviado archivo adjunto

[@shelikesdiamonds]

What is that instrument?

[@tsavy7320]

That is the Zither.

[@jimfritz2087]

You do realize the 44th string is out of tune .

[@hansstopfer878]

I've already looked to see if anyone else has heard it, it's sad that so few have heard it. I'm a musician too.

[@Cadzan]

Talented this guy might be, Anton Karas he is not and it's sadly out of tune.

[@tonyford4170]

Sorry, but god thats awful.

[@milliesboy666]

I think you're wrong. But if you feel that way, why disparage someone's playing? Please post a video of whatever instrument you play.

[@expattaffy1954]

Sorry don’t like it. You need more practice.

[@tsavy7320]

Definitely!👍

[@sondrayork6317]
