Customer Reviews of Korngold: Fairytale Pictures and Other Orchestral Music
Is variety the indicator of great talent? It may well be that we are at the cusp of that point in a composer's history - some 50 years after their death - that they make the ascent to true greatness. 'Die Tote Stadt' has always been a great favourite of mine. Its theme of self-denial is so alien to modern culture with its me-me-me emphasis. It could well be that Korngold may temper this in time, when opera companies start reviving this opera. And what else do we have in store from Korngold, what other operas yet to be rediscovered? If this disc is an indicator I will keep exploring Korngold with enthusiasm. I had previously learnt to enjoy the violin concerto, a few shorter orchestral works and the F sharp symphony, but the sheer variety of this disc surprised me. We range from youthful endeavours full of rich orchestration to mature works. But what really surprised and delighted me in this were the Strauss homages - 'Tales of Strauss' and 'Straussiana'. It seems to me that it is a strong mind that can pay homage to another - and not a famous one like Bach who everyone has a go at arranging - for entirely personal reasons. Korngold enjoyed Strauss (yes, this is Johanne not Richard) and publicly displays this. We know that Brahms admired Strauss immensely but I don't know of any similar homages from Brahms. Korngold is not always immediately to my liking but so much of it is so enjoyable that I wonder if it is just unfamiliarity that is triggering my doubts. This disc may well go a long way to absolving those doubts.
