"Why do I make movies? I'm looking for terra incognita, a land on which no filmmaker has yet set foot,
a planet where no director has planted his flag of conquest, a world that exists only in fairy tales."

I'm proud to present you a project, I was working on for quite a long time. It features music across the filmography by acclaimed Czech director Karel Zeman (http://www.muzeumkarlazemana.cz/en),
including pioneering and legendary composers E.F. Burian (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emil_Franti%C5%A1ek_Burian), Zdeněk Liška (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zden%C4%9Bk_Li%C5%A1ka) (The Cremator, The Little Mermaid), Jan Nov�k (http://www.jannovak.eu/), František Belf�n (main conductor for FISYO),
Luboš Fišer (https://web.archive.org/web/20071008142700/http://www.musica.cz/fiser/) (Valerie and Her Week of Wonders, Arabela) and Karel Svoboda (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karel_Svoboda) (Three Wishes for Cinderella, Maya the Bee).

Included is a gallery with official artwork, screenshots as well as notes with translated dialogue texts from the sound clips and lyrics.
As with my other audio rips, most tracks contain SFX and voice, as the music was ripped straight from the DVD sources, but I tried to avoid them as much as possible for the uninterrupted listening pleasure.
It's purely fan-made, so no official release here! It just should give you an idea of some great music, which never actually was released in any way outside of its content, which is quite a shame.
Especially for a composer like Zdeněk Liška, who wrote so many great and interesting scores back in his days, but is yet so unknown to the rest of the world.

Sample 1 (http://www.mediafire.com/file/k6jmw9a50ozpavd/06_Main_Titles_%2528Vyn%25C3%25A1lez_zk%25C3%25A1z y%2529.mp3/file) / Sample 2 (http://www.mediafire.com/file/pgz23ts4a129f9t/21_Damsel_in_Distress.mp3/file) / Sample 3 (http://www.mediafire.com/file/wufy7pwwo18q8wa/23_Chase.mp3/file) / Sample 4 (http://www.mediafire.com/file/9qghsb18cqimfh7/01_Musketeer_Song.mp3/file)

Furthermore click on the track titles for more samples.

Feedback appreciated! :)

Thank you for this great post! I love the films of Karel Zeman! The music for On the Comet (1970) is especially wonderful.

I love Karel Zeman�s movies, fantastic idea and the great share, Maxwill.
I have problems when downloading the file two times but cannot open the file with Winrar for some errors. Can you send me the direct link Maxwill to avoid any mistake ? thanks a lot.

I hear this often - in this case update your extractor (WinRar) to the latest version, then it works fine! It is a common problem when the extractor is outdated ;)

Thank you! Excellent job :)

I'm very glad that many one you enjoy these scores, even if I'm not very pleased with the result itself. It could sound so much better with proper mastering and lack of sound effects, but I haven't the ability to do that :(

Especially on orchestral tracks like "The Sinking of Amelie", "Escapade d'amore" (which I'd love to hear in full), "Musketeer Fight" or "The Storm" from The Stolen Airship, which by the way reminds me greatly of John William's adventurous scores! I must always think of Harry Potter when listening to it, which is a good sign, as Williams is a fantastic composer.
