Somewhere far far away in a foreign land, in a traditional looking house with an ancient computer ,a man dressed like a lumberjack plays an extremely difficult piece on an extremely difficult instrument with absolute skill and precision!!We salute you sir!!!This is what youtube is all about!!
Far away in a foreign land? If I took a taxi, I would be at his home in half an hour 😉 Greetings from Vienna! And yes, you are right, this is what RUclips should be. And not advertisements with content-breaks in between.
@@mediocreman6323 It definitely would take you longer to get from Vienna to the Staffelsee than half an hour. Maybe if you take an F-16 you could make it but in a car, I suppose it's more like a 5 hours drive.

I had no idea the theme from "The Third Man" was played on this one instrument. How fine. I'm going to start downloading many other cuts of zither music. What a treat!

BEAUTIFUL! What a joy to listen to such great playing of a great instrument and a most iconic zither tune. Thank you so very much for posting this video!
Lovely indeed, and thank you for posting. One of my favorite haunting melodies, and the all-time most fantastic films ever made. What a humble and talented man!
I fell in love withe film the Third Man and the wonderful music of Anton Karas. I play guitar so wanted to try to learn zither. I bought an old 100 year old concert zither to restore and learn on sadly we moved house and it 'got lost' or taken by someone so I never did get to try it. I love the sound but it lools so hard to master. Thank You for sharing
Well I've learnt something new. All these years I've heard this theme off and on and never realized it was played on a single instrument.Nice job by the way.
This must be one of the hardest instruments to play let alone to master. Bravo to you my friend. I know how the Austrians love this instrument. It is the truly the national instrument.
That, was great.I have never heard a soundtrack that conveyed so much emotion and feel.third man is one of my all time favorite movies and this song is what made the movie great. Genius.
TTM is one of my alltime favorites ever. Seeing how it's played freaks me out. The instrument.... Imagine tuning the thing first, then pressing the strings from above (which is just a matter of getting used to, I guess), then plucking the bass strings with your hand (pinky) spread out that wide. I don't know if playing an instument gets any more difficult than this. Kudos to this man! Astonishing what the alpine farmers came up with.
I am just learning about this instrument. An elderly woman who works for a candy company in the retail store is from Germany. She still has the instrument she took lessons on when she was a little girl prior to WWII. She has loaned me her music books, some quite worn as you can imagine. I am transposing them into MIDI using a dulcimer sound. I will eventually create a CD so she can listen to them. But as I finish each song, I fall in love with the music...much of it Johann Strauss. I have seen some zither instruments on RUclips but they do not include the 'guitar like fretboard" which is how she describes her instrument....like yours. Loved your performance. I am an American guitarist (jazz, rock, blues, classical, etc) but I love many kinds of music from around the world....
amazing about movie scores is that they invoke such great memories. a date, sat. movie night in town, the local drive-in movie theater (sadly the drive-in is a rare beast these days).

That's It.
Dieses Lied macht soviel Freude.
Eine der allerbesten Übungen auf der Zither!
Es ist schön die alten Lieder und Schlager mal wieder abspielen zu können, die man sonst so selten zu hören bekommt
One of The Best! Versions! Der Dritte Mann! Thank You!
Plays wonderfully. I cannot imagine trying to learn his technique. He is literally one-in-a-million
Mit einer grandiosen Fingerfertigkeit gespielt. Der Mann hat's einfach raus👍👍
Seine Frau ist bestimmt sehr glücklich;)
Wunderschön die Musik und der Spieler ist absolut perfekt. da bin ich begeistert.
Outstanding! Thank you and best wishes from Long Island, New York, USA!

That scene was the very best snub of movie history. It hurt to watch.
that scene is replicated in the 1973 film, "The Long Goodbye" with Elliot Gould.
@@lawrencelewis2592 And in Martin Scorsese's 2006 film, _The Departed._
@@Wired4Life2 Really? Have to watch that again.
Fantastisch gespielt! Großes Kompliment!

Super! Einfach nur super! Ich bin sprachlos!
-WOW! Unglaubliche Darbietung meines Lieblingsstücks!! Was hatte ich damals für Schwielen an den Fingern, als ich es probierte.... Grandios! Vielen Dank!!
Traumhaft schön , spitzenmäßig gespielt . Ein Könner auf diesem Instrument !
Bravo! Mein Opa hat früher auch immer auf der Zither gespielt. Da werden Erinnerungen wach. Vielen Dank!
That song has always been one of my favorites. He's GOOD.

Thank you for bringing back eondrful memories when my uncle from Austria played this song and many others.
BEAUTIFUL! What a joy to listen to such great playing of a great instrument and a most iconic zither tune. Thank you so very much for posting this video!
Es ist Magie in den Häden eines beseelten Menschen. Schaue mir Dein Spiel jetzt noch einmal an. Lieben Dank.
My father was Viennese and owned a zither, which he gave up on: "too many strings too close together". Thank you.
Vielen Dank ! Hörgenuss vom Allerfeinsten ! 😊❤
Einfach nur stark und sehr schön 😍
In meiner Kindheit wurde zu Heiligabend immer Zither gespielt, und wir sangen dazu Weihnachtslieder. Wunderschöne Erinnerung ...
Very authentic and perfect interpretation of this film music treasure.
Sehr glaubwürdige und perfekte Wiedergabe von dieser immergrünen Filmmusik
That is awesome amazing that's been back from the beginning desider love it
Thank you for this song and for posting it back in 2010. See...people are still popping in to view your music in 2019 ❤😊❤
Sehr cool, habe auf ewig Ohrwurm, war mein Hörbeispiel fürs Zither Referat in der Schule
Hör ich täglich 2 mal. Macht gute Laune😃
Dexterity is amazing, Anton would be pleased this man decided to take up this extremely difficult instrument
wunderbar gespielt,dieses Lied habe ich schon als Kind geliebt
Stück
Lovely indeed, and thank you for posting. One of my favorite haunting melodies, and the all-time most fantastic films ever made. What a humble and talented man!
A beatiful song and a beautiful rendition. Thanks from Texas USA.

Bravo:-) Absolut spitze! Besser als der alte version aus dem film! Kann überhaupt nicht besser gespielt werden. Punktum!
jedenfalls wüsste ich nicht, wann ich das letzte Mal Volksmusik mit nassen Augen gehört hätte!
Wirklich hervorragend gespielt.
Fabelhaft! Besten Dank!
Excellent! Guitar no substitute for zither. Loved it.
Melodie bringt immer Ruhe.Egal Was mit mir passiert,Melodie hilft weitere Schritte zu machen
Well I've learnt something new. All these years I've heard this theme off and on and never realized it was played on a single instrument.Nice job by the way.
Right....!
I assumed that there was a piano in there somewhere....
Phantastic, thanks so much!
This must be one of the hardest instruments to play let alone to master. Bravo to you my friend. I know how the Austrians love this instrument. It is the truly the national instrument.
Serious respect for this guy
The 3rd man melody so well played on a Zither; just lovely!
Immer wieder soooo 🥳 schön anzuhören. Der Ultimative 🇦🇹 Österreichische Ohrwurm 🐛ever and ever and ever 🥚🍳🧂

Quel bonheur d'entendre cette musique qui est un souvenir d'enfance pour moi !! Merci beaucoup
I would pay any amount to come hear you perform live. You are truly a Grand Master.
Tolle Sängerin
und wunderschönes Lied!
Fantastic arrangement, skillfully played on a very challenging instrument.
This is marvellous! Thank you so much for uploading it and giving us all a great treat!

years ago, my mother,loved this melody.She called it: TheThird Man Theme.
"Der dritte Mann" (The Third Man) is its title in German (and that of the amazing movie it belongs to).
Incredible! What talent and what hours of practice!
superklasse, gefällt mir sehr! Danke!!!
Magic well done such talent thankyou
That was so awesome...time stood still for two and a half minutes! Thanks.
Wow, that was awesome. My granny's family was from Bavaria. I think she used to play a zither also.
Grandios!! Bitte mehr davon...
Great music. Well played❤
Beautiful. Thank you.
Toll👍🏼❤
Well played! I can see Holly and Harry running through the dark streets of Vienna even now.
+Ron D You are right. The music brings the movie back into our minds every time.
And the little boy crying:" Papa, des ist der Mörder!"
