Today we celebrate the anniversary of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, who was born on the 29th of May in 1897, by discovering his superbly arranged, partly conducted and even played music for the Richard Wagner movie. You will find some bonuses in the description, also. Enjoy!
Thanks for posting this..I own the original Varese Sarabande album as I recall...Sadly I think this is one of those cases where the music or Korngold's arrangement is better than the film..and this would be Korngold's last big project in the film industry.....
Korngold was born for the movies , or the movies were born for Korngold. It wasn't a happy marriage, but a great one for the world. It enlarged and validated the emotional life of millions of people, gave expression to unknown feelings and heretofore unbidden desires, and memorialized human passion in a way no art form had ever done before. It is ironic that a Jewish artist, rather than Wagner, actually gave music to the embodiment of the "music drama of the future" for more people in the world than have ever attended a Bayreuth Festival.
What nice & lovely man Mr korngold must have been, always smiling & from some photos I've seen, he's a much loved father, 🎶💐 & for Mr Wagner, love his music, but as human being was flawed, his anti-Semitism which in some way inspired Hitler & a generation of German's 🤔🌍🌈

Ses œuvres sont tellement descriptives que je pense que Richard Wagner aurait aimer composer pour le 7ème Art !
