Korngold: Schauspiel Ouverture/Märchenbilder

 
Contemporary packaging – the fourth in a unique collection of Korngold orchestral works to mark the fiftieth anniversary of his death

Seven Fairy-Tale Pictures received its premiere recording on this original release.

Digitally re-mastered at 24-bit
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.
Reviews

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

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