Bernard Wrigley silent film soundtrack

[LangoLee]

This may be of interest if, like me, you have a combined interest in concertinas and films of the silent era:

 

I learn from a DVD forum I frequent that the British 'Masters of Cinema' DVD label will be putting out a box set of German silent films by Ernst Lubitsch (now better known for his later Hollywood comedies), one of which - Die Puppe (1919) - will feature a new soundtrack played by Bernard Wrigley on English concertina, which, according to the producer, 'exhibits a lovely ambience and warmth, and avoids the razor-digital-sheen of many 'new' silent scores'. Should be released early next year.

More than you know, I do.

They ought to fit together nicely. Did you know of this one done by Marien (one of our members) last year:
