A brand-new look at the life and music of renowned composer Erich
Wolfgang Korngold Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897–1957) was the
last compositional prodigy to emerge from the Austro-German
tradition of Mozart and Mendelssohn. He was lauded in his youth by
everyone from Mahler to Puccini and his auspicious career in the
early 1900s spanned chamber music, opera, and musical theater.
Today, he is best known for his Hollywood film scores, composed
between 1935 and 1947. From his prewar operas in Vienna to his
pathbreaking contributions to American film, Korngold and His World
provides a substantial reassessment of Korngold’s life and
accomplishments. Korngold struggled to reconcile the musical
language of his Viennese upbringing with American popular song and
cinema, and was forced to adapt to a new life after wartime
emigration to Hollywood. This collection examines Korngold’s
operas and film scores, the critical reception of his music, and
his place in the milieus of both the Old and New Worlds. The volume
also features numerous historical documents—many previously
unpublished and in first-ever English translations—including
essays by the composer as well as memoirs by his wife, Luzi
Korngold, and his father, the renowned music critic Julius
Korngold. The contributors are Leon Botstein, David Brodbeck, Bryan
Gilliam, Daniel Goldmark, Lily Hirsch, Kevin Karnes, Sherry Lee,
Neil Lerner, Sadie Menicanin, Ben Winters, Amy Wlodarski, and
Charles Youmans. Bard Music Festival 2019 Korngold and His World
