Topic: Korngold
The music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold has enjoyed a little renaissance over the last decade or two. He is no longer the neglected, unknown master; the hidden Wunderkind of 20th century classical music. The point is proven by the pleasant fact that his entire œvre is available on commercial recordings – from eighth different versions of the Violin Concerto (Heifetz, Perlman, Shaham, Mutter, to name only the most prominent accounts – Kavakos and Hahn offer it on DVD) to a proud rendition of “The Goose-liver at the Durschnitz-residency” – a song for baritone taken on by Dietrich Henschel. (Both Charles and I have recently written about his opera, "Das Wunder der Heliane".)MORE | WEB | IMAGES | SHOP Erich Wolfgang Korngold
