Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed
The visual richness of early cinema inspires composers and arrangers in various ways to create new scores in the Film and Live Music series, a collaboration between the Muziekgebouw and Eye.
For Der letzte Mann, Jed Wentz composes a score the way it would have sounded a century ago. Steven Kamperman draws on the fairy-tale atmosphere of Die Abenteuer des Prinzen Achmed for a contemporary composition influenced by Arabic music traditions. And with cello and bandoneon sounds, Metrocelli and De Ruiter take you on a journey into the dreamlike world of Vampyr.
