Karl May is one of the greatest authors of adventure novels and gained most of his fame with the three tomes of narration being about the Indian Winnetou and his blood brother Old Shatterhand. According to the Unesco Karl May is one of the most translated German authors, many of his works have been adapted for theaters or film.
One of the most famous film adaptions is „Der Schatz Im Silbersee“ („Treasure Of The Silver Lake“) starring Pierre Brice, Lex Barker, Karin Dor and Götz George, premiered in 1962.
Not only the great novel the film is based upon, but also the memorable original score composed by Martin Böttcher contributed to the movie’s great success.
The single of the score’s main title, known as „Old-Shatterhand Melodie“, sold over 100.000 copies – a really surprising success for instrumental score music.
Martin Böttcher‘s compositions also were formative for all following Karl May film adaptions.
For the first time now the great score is being played live at the Philharmonie in Munich by the Münchner Symphoniker (Munich symphonic orchestra) under the direction of Ludwig Wicki while the complete movie „Der Schatz Im Silbersee“ („Treasure Of The Silver Lake“) can be seen on screen. For conductor Ludwig Wicki the project is a matter of heart.
There is a chance to attend the show again in 2019!
