ACTUALLY:

Korngold used a number of themes from his films for this work. The second movement contains the theme from JUAREZ, in the third movement themes from THE PRIVATE LIVES OF ELIZABETH & ESSEX, CAPTAIN BLOOD & ANTHONY ADVERSE and in the fourth movement themes from KINGS ROW.

I feel the best recording of this work comes from Andre Previn conducting the London Symphony.

In case anyone is interested, I’ve uploaded the same CD in lossless format with scans:

Thanks for to both of you! For the link and for the Lossless version. Korngold is a great composer and I did not know this symphony.

Thank you for the link. this is a GREAT work!

Anyone have a re-up of this?

You have the Previn version of this from my Korngold collection which is much better.

Excellent, thanks!

Thanks a lot for sharing 🙂
