Beautiful, I wish they were playing the full suite with the other movements. Just stunning music!!!! I can hear shades of Richard Strauss in the orchestrations and sheer romanticism of it.
A fine remnder of the great days of Hollywood music scores. Reminds me of the exchange between Max Steiner and Korngold, reported by Andre Previn. MS remarked that their music was sounding alike. To which Korngold responded: You are getting better and I am getting worse!
I just discoverted this amazing performance of a great film score by one of the greatest film score composers ever. From now on, when I make the case that the RCO is the best overall symphony orchestra in Europe, this will be my first "exhibit". Love it , love it, LOVE IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Just WOW! A wonderful rendition of one of the best pieces of cinematic music that has even been written. Goosebumps with the deep brass and swelling strings in the closing bars of this masterpiece. Thank you for posting!
Korngold wrote many musical soundtracks for great films, mostly in the 1940s and 1950s, but most would consider this his magnum opus and for obvious reasons. He was part of that magnificent group of European composers who came to Hollywood and literally superimposed the great post modern romantic sound of Rachmaninov, Brahms, Wagner and Tchaikovski onto the great movies all cherish.
The sound you hear is more late Romanticism, directly evolved from the lavishly orchestrated Fin-de-siècle Viennese music, which is only logical considering Korngold was a protégé of Mahler, Strauss and Puccini. Regarding his film scores, Sea Hawk rightfully is a favorite indeed, along with Adventures of Robin Hood, although most would consider one of his operas to be his magnum opus, eg Die tote Stadt or Wunder der Heliane. Also don’t forget his brilliant orchestral works and his Violin Concerto.
He came to Hollywood in 1935 and decided to stay. Captain Blood (1935) began his connection to the swashbuckling Errol Flynn. His score for Anthony Adverse (1936) won an Oscar and another came for The Adventurers of Robin Hood (1938). Korngold died at the age of 60 in 1957.
So true, along with Max Steiner and occasionally Franz Waxman. The FOX and SEAHAWK fanfares are the two most famous and well recognized of all movie intros. Powerful.
Korngold's Sea Hawk score is magnificent! Beautiful scores like this make the classic films so great!

Glorious performance!!!

And why not?

Oh yes, they have a very rich tradition of excellence!
This invigorates the human spirit
and promotes spiritual uplift and awakening
Какие вы молодцы,оркестр звучит блестяще.👏
A superb performance of my second favourite Korngold score ["King's Row" is my favourite].
Both had a wonderful "nobility" about them that makes a person want to stand up and salute.
this is so beautiful.. bravo 🎉

Superb! Concertgebouworkest and Maestro Denève perfectly embody this wonderful piece by one of Hollywood's finest composers.
Superb performance of the extraordinary Sea Hawk score!
Have that opening Sea Hawk fanfare as the ringtone on my mobile phone. It certainly turns heads!
A great choice for a ringtone. Thinking about the opening of "Vertigo" as my ringtone.
Magnificent performance - Bravo!
Such triumphant music the Sea Hawk score is !!!!
First rate! Love those harps! This is on a par with the legendary Classic Film Scores conducted by Charles Gerhardt on RCA. More please?
great music!!!
Fantastic! Amazing sound quality as well!
Wow, that fanfare at the beginning!
That was the 20th Century Fox fanfare composed by Alfred Newman.
Absolutely brilliant! And an intriguing choice of tempi, some much slower than in the actual film score.
Oh, amazing !!!!!

Extraordinarie, from CARACAS Venezuela
This version is the Bees Knees...
Exquisite rendition. Such a cold audience, though...
That's exactly what I thought.
Great film music and a fine performance, but why the 20th Century Fox fanfare for a Warner Bros. Film?
Because they dont care 😂😂
"The Sea Hawk" was a Warner Bros. film.

Why the FOX fanfare? Korngold worked for the Warner Bros

My guess is clearance rights.
