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numerous historical documents-many previously unpublished and in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
