Thank you for this! Danke schön. Ich bewundere die Musik von Korngold seit Jugendtagen (und natürlich auch, oder gerade deswegen, die Musiken von John Williams u.a.).

As this wonderfully informative video makes clear, the romantic and symphonic "Hollywood Sound" is a product of European composers - Korngold most significantly. Best wishes for Vermont 🍁🧡🍁

In the summer of 1986 I did research in the Library of Congress. Isn't it the reading room a spectacular space?!! Glad you had a special tour of its musical score holdings.

How interesting that the German musicians have come to appreciate Korngold in America. The Austrian composer (born in 1897), had already been drawn to Hollywood by Max Reinhardt as Hitler rose to power. In 1936, he won an Oscar for his score to Anthony Adverse. Then in 1938, as Germany annexed Austria, his home there was confiscated by the Nazis. Korngold would later say that his life was saved by Robin Hood. He also received his second Oscar. Europe’s loss was Hollywood’s gain!
