Hello dear Phideas1,

This time, it's a Korngold's feast !!!

Thank you so much for sharing such great music from wonderful composers !!!

Of course, I am very interested... ;)

Best regards !!!

Well RealMusicFan, I was wondering when you'd show up to partake in this panoply of wonder to the ear. The link has been sent. I anticipate your ecstatic joy, naturally. ;-)

I'm interested please!

Hello.

Nice share ! May I ask you the links to download them ?

Thank you very much in advance !

About 30 + years ago the first four of these very recordings started my interest in Korngold and from there film scores in general. Somehow I complete overlooked the (last) 2 CD set. The fact that Kiri Te Kanawa is featured only makes it more desirable. I'd love to hear what I have been missing. Thanks in advance.

That last EMI set only surfaced a few years ago. As mentioned in this thread, it has the recording that I heard in college that introduced me to the famous violin concerto... long before I discovered the Heifitz mono recording that is glorious on its own. The double disc set is a hodge podge of EMI/Angel recordings that date back to the early 70s. They are wonderful.... of course. ;-) I think you will be pleased.

I wish that Casper and his crew had tackled the violin concerto and the symphony (they both contain film music). But he did bring some unique Korngold works that for most folks had been buried into his operas....

May I have a link?

Thanks!

Thanks for the link!

Please could I have the link? I'm a Korngold lover, but there's a lot of stuff in this your collection that I haven't got yet. Thanks in advance!

Link received. Thank you very much for sharing and providing the inserts as well.

May I also have a link? I too am among the Korngold film score lovers with little-to-no exposure to his concert hall work. I'd love to hear these! Thank you for your consideration, Phideas1!

"By the Wondrous Winds of Watoomb! I heartily echo blaaarg's comment... little exposure to Korngold's non-soundtrack work... love to hear this collection!"

Korngold died in Hollywood believing himself virtually forgotten.

In the 1970s, under the watchful guidance of his younger son George, Erich Wolfgang Korngold's music was produced as part of a series of retrospectives LPs of the classic movie scores from the Golden Age of Hollywood, performed by the National Philharmonic Orchestra under Charles Gerhardt. Records of his chamber compositions and shorter orchestral works began to be released. New champions of his music emerged. And ever since, the recordings of his works - concert, stage and screen included - continue to grow in quantity as his music is rediscovered and appreciated by a younger, newer generation. Today his Violin Concerto is in the repertoire of many leading performers. With dozens of new recordings and live performances each year, Korngold's star continues to rise, ensuring that his music will live on.

I'd love the link for this, please. Thanks so much for sharing!

By the Mystic Rings of Cytthorak! What a DELIGHTFUL thread!

It is great always hear Korngold. I thank you in advance the link please.

By the Mystic Rings of Cytthorak! What a DELIGHTFUL thread!

Links received - thanks so much!

Korngold was working on his opera Die Kathrin in the late 30s while in Hollywood, hoping for a premiere in Austria. It became obvious when Hitler met with the Austrian leader that his plans were dashed and he stayed in to compose The Adventures of Robin Hood. His family and extended family had wisely applied for passports and escaped in time- but Korngold was faced with supporting them and others that had escaped The Anschluss. He arranged an unprecedented arrangement with Warner Brothers that his film scores remain his property and not the studios. Unlike Max Steiner who composed dozens of films a year, Korngold chose only one or two. He did take great delight in his music reaching a broader audience than ever before AND for the first time in film history HIS NAME in the credits was just as large as the director's.

When the war was over, Hollywood was behind him, but he had left Austria as a 'degenerate' only to discover modern musical tastes made him an 'anachronism'. In the 1950s he experienced a disastrous tour in America as well as Europe. Yet during his time at Warner Brothers he brought film music closer to the cinematic surface- audiences began to focus on a component of the movie that in the past they has ignored. Most Hollywood scores might have been heard, at their best, for half the film- Korngold's music went from half to 3/4 the footage.

May I Have a link , please ?

Thanks in advance

i have to admit, i loved to find your comics answers ! And yes, music is glorious ^^ May i ask you for links please ! Thanks a lot !

----------

Please here also! :)

Got 'em, thanks Phideas!

I love Korngold. Can I get a link for these? Thanks.

Links received! And thank you so much for sharing this wealth of Korngold music, particularly the concert hall works (as I was largely unfamiliar with those).

Links received - thanks so much!

Links received. Thanks!

Links for Korngold's classical works for me too please Phideas. That's a great cover with the car and the art deco buildings.

Links for Korngold's classical works for me too please Phideas. That's a great cover with the car and the art deco buildings.

There is no photo credit for that cover which doesn't make sense to me. This is a double disc set featuring a number of Korngold recordings from different sources. The Welser-Most version of the Symphony in F is not as wonderful as the Previn version (which you will find in another of my Korngold offerings).

It is the Willy Mattes disc with Ulf Hoeslcher at the violin that remains my first Korngold LP and also remains the finest performance (in my opinion) of the famed violin concerto (and remember, back in the 1970s when this first appeared Korngold was not at all appreciated.... and now that violin concerto is being played and recorded by everyone... but none compare to this).

I've had a chance to listen to this varied collection, from jazz to romance, now and it is wonderful, many thanks for sharing Phideas. Opera is not my cup of tea, but I love the orchestral parts and the playing is topnotch.

Jazz?????

Opera is an acquired taste. But here you have the Korngold songs and marvelous orchestral moments lifted from his operas.... 'opera lite'. Korngold was someone very talented and very special.

Could you send me the link? Thank you in advance.

Great Korngold's Ghost - - - May I please have the link to this feast of music, Phideas1?

Cheers and Thanks in advance :-D

Superb collection! Thank you so much!

Hi can get a link. Big Korngold fan, excited to hear these.

I would love to get these! Thank you in advance!

I'd love a link for these recordings, thanks!

I'd love a link too please, Thanks!

Would love these links. Thanks. Rep added.

May I please have the link. Just knew the soundtracks of Korngold so far.

Link received. Thank you very much.

Don't quite understand these reputation points... wimpel lives for them... would sooner have chocolates... though even obscure nice gestures are nice.... links sent.

I don't understand them either, but some users even refuse to send you a link unless you reward them with a reputation point.

Interestingly enough, most of them are banned meanwhile.

"Obscure" is a good description. I also keep thinking of a virtual currency without any value but narcistic satisfaction.

To my understanding these reputation points are more or less submissive kisses on the belly button for very very disturbed internet junkies.

My belly button doesn't have to be kissed (I am a snob about such things) and I have never ever requested a reputation point in order to pass along a link... I ask for a thank you, politeness, enthusiasm or interest in the work,,, the occasional feedback is nice... and a box of chocolates. Korngold was composing before films and after films. The tragedy is that after films he was not taken seriously. It is only in the last couple of decades his work outside the cinema is being recognized... recently Anna Sophie Mutter acknowledged his famed violin concerto (shrugged off at it premier by a critic with his immortal words 'More korn than gold') is a challenging and rewarding work. My favorite version is included in this link.

Chocolate just melted, so couldn't I just peel some grapes for you?

Yes, Korngold wheather filmwise or symphonic is a revelation.
My favorite so far is the score of KING'S ROW.

He couldn't even read the script, his English at the time not very good, and thus was inspired by the film's title for that glorious fanfare.... which we know today as 'Star Wars.' ;-)

The first 20 minutes of Kings Row is practically fully scored, rather remarkable... as is the whole of the music, a script that took a perverse novel made into a fascinating melodrama, and resulted in the finest (film) performance of a future POTUS. The music is dazzling.

A bit late to this thread, but I would love a link to this collection dear Phideas!

Hi Phideas, can I have a link, please? Thank you very much!
