The Adventures of a Wunderkind
A child prodigy in Habsburg Vienna, Erich Wolfgang Korngold was the musical sensation of Europe's opera houses and concert halls in the 1920s. Later, stranded in America by the rise of fascism in Europe, he found new fame and won Oscars as the inventor of the lush Hollywood film score. Including extracts from many of the Warner Brothers productions he scored (among them, the Errol Flynn swashbucklers Robin Hood and The Sea Hawk), this lavish, award-winning film, which includes previously unseen material from the Korngold family archive, tells Korngold's story and samples the rich diversity of his work from concert hall to big screen.
IN addition to the profile, Hugh Wolff conducts the Frankfurt Radio Symphony Orchestra and soloists Quirine Viersin (cello), Leonidas Kavakos (violin) and Alexander Frey (piano) in complete performances of a selection of Korngold's concertos for cello and for violin and extracts from his early piano works.
