One of the great composers who also happened to write some of the best music for movies too, nearly exclusively at Warner Brothers.
Since this year we celebrate his birth 126th years ago in what was once Brünn in Austrian-Hungary Empire, now Brno in Czech Republic.
The more I read and collected facts I understood that this subject was too big for me to handle and yet I wanted us to remember the great music he wrote for the movies.
Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957)
Most of his music can be found on YT or other music sights in either convoluted form, or in concert forms (15 to 20 minutes) or the whole soundtracks.
He orchestrated one more movie, not for the lack of money, but to stop modern interpreters, in forgettable Wagner biopic Magic Fire 1955, and doing a rare cameo with a batoon.
His most famous work, "Die Tote Stadt", is still regarded as one of the major operas of the 20th century.
First published in 1997, there are other biographies too.
Thanks for watching!
Opinions of all kinds are welcome!
