"A little hat with feathers, the crossbow over the shoulder - but a hunter it is not. A silver interwoven dress with train to the ball - but a princess it is not." If you guess this riddle, you're sure to be part of the huge fan base of the classic fairy tale "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella," which not only has these phrases to go along with it. Entire families sit delightedly in front of the TV at Christmas time and follow Cinderella on her ride through deep snowy forests, defying the mockery of her pompous stepmother and stepsister, straight into the arms of the prince.
Beautiful fairy tale film of the 20th century - that's how they call the world-famous Christmas classic in the Czech Republic. In the early 1970s, filmmakers in Czechoslovakia and the German Democratic Republic produced a film version of the well-known motif under the title "Three Hazelnuts for Cinderella" based on the novel of the same name by Božena Nemcová, which is remembered in German-speaking countries primarily through the Brothers Grimm's collection of fairy tales
The magical music of Karel Svoboda
.In addition to the acting performances, sumptuous sets and colorful costumes, Karel Svoboda's music is the main ingredient in this classic of film history, whose score has been carefully reconstructed for the film concertos. The characteristic musical colors and subtleties remain unchanged: The music creates a lyrical atmosphere and offers an unbiased and compelling commentary on the eternal quest for love, happiness and magic. Shortly after the release of his Cinderella soundtrack, Svoboda received his first commissions from the West, and his theme tunes for animated films such as Maya the Bee, Vicky the Viking and Nils Holgersson were created.
