The Operas of Erich Wolfgang Korngold | ||||||||||||
|
|||||||||||||
| Few musical figures in this century, absent involvement with the Hitler regime, or some catastrophic health crisis, led careers as exalted and successful at one end, as lucrative in their center, and as tragic at their end as Erich Wolfgang Korngold. Exalted in some Viennese circles before the age of 10 as a second Mozart, he outlived that premature media stardom to become a respected serious composer and a notably successful composer of opera. His name evoked the best that melodic, tonal music had to offer in the 1920's and 1930's--and then he found his way to Hollywood, and the welcoming arms of Warner Bros. Studios, and became the most important composer ever to make a home and career in the movie capital. | |||||||||||||
