Product Information

This disc is devoted to the adolescent compositions of Erich Wolfgang Korngold – this would not normally excite great interest but there is nothing normal about this prodigious talent.

The BBC Philharmonic provides stunning performances of two orchestral excerpts from the opera, Violanta. The Snowman, is a sheer delight and is coupled with the Overture to a Darma – the ultimate in sumptuous orchestration.

Bamert and the BBC Philharmonic are experts in the works of this wonderful, if neglected composer and clearly love performing his dramatic musical masterpieces.

Rezensionen

The BBC Philharmonic under Matthias Bamert give an altogether excellent account of these scores and are recorded with remarkable realism. Classic FM

Quotes from the original release:
exemplary performances from Matthias Bamert and the BBC Philharmonic Barry Millington for The Times

Reviews

H. Grünewald in KLASSIK heute 9/98: "Die Einspielung mit dem glänzend disponierten, brillant musizierenden BBC Philharmonic Orchestra stellt Korngolds Talent und kompositorische Größe im besten Licht dar: seine In- strumentationskunst, die Fähigkeit, brillant und farbig zu schreiben, und das immer wieder erstaunliche Ver- mögen, "Klangzauber" im besten Sinne herzustellen."
