The Constant Nymph | Soundtrack Suite (Erich Wolfgang Korngold)

[@stephensorenson6559]

korngold was one of the great ones!

The soprano is Sally Sweetland whose singing voice was dubbed in for a few actresses in movies in the 1940's including Joan Leslie in "Yankee Doodle Dandy" and "Rhapsody In Blue".

Can't hardly beat the old scores, loved it, thank you Fred. :)

Wunderschöne Interpretation dieses perfekt komponierten Meisterwerks mit perfekt synchronisierten und gut harmonisierten Töne aller Instrumente sowie bezaubernder Stimme der Sängerin. Der unvergleichiche Komponist/Dirigent leitet das funktionelle Orchester im erregenden Tempo mit effektiver Dynamik. Es ist fast unglaublich, dass solch ein fantasisches Werk im Kriegsjahr 1943 komponiert und aufgeführt wurde. Alles ist wunderbar!

[@agustinfodrini]

[@libelle176]

[@kathleensteeves488]

I felt like I was at an opera!❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@artistsofrubbercity5815]

thanks for all your postings, Fred - this one is especially appreciated..

[@kirsteni.russell5903]

I've never seen the movie, only heard the Charles Gerhardt adaptation of the score, but the OST is very touching!

Hi, Kirsten: As I understand it, there were complications over the rights that prevented the film from being released on VHS/DVD for years (with the possible exception of second- or third-generation pirated prints). These issues have apparently been resolved, and a studio-authorized DVD is now available. And it's well-worth seeing: wonderful performances by Charles Boyer and Joan Fontaine.

THANK YOU FREDERICK!

[@willyboy3581]

A bit of trivia for you, Fred: As late as the 1970s, Joan Fontaine was advocating "The constant nymph" as perfect material for adaptation into a Broadway musical (though presumably sans Fontaine); whether or not her ideas went so far as to the retaining of any part of Korngold's beautiful score is unknown.

Superb!!

[@BRENDANGCARROLL]

By uploading this, you have saved me the trouble! thank you!

[@nogrits4me]

Mr. Carroll. Thank you also for the upload of the Special Concert Overture to "The Constant Nymph." I have been listening to it, thrillingly, for years now. It was also thrilling when Turner Classic Movies finally televised the movie a few years ago after it had been unseen for fifty years. I love the Korngold film scores, my favorite perhaps being "Between Two Worlds."

Ya salgo

Korngold had a very good excuse for writing this stuff. He had to support his family, his parents and the guarantees he gave for people escaping from Europe to America. Nevertheless, in Brendan Carroll's biography, he states that Korngold was so proud of it that he gave it an opus number. But he also refers to the 'fulsome climax' of the women's chorus and inadvertently hits the nail of the head, since, being American, he does not know the meaning of 'fulsome'. To save others a trip to the dictionary, it means "offensive to good taste, especially, offending from want of measure or from being 'over done'" (OED). Precisely.

Am I to understand that you are NOT a Korngold lover? I'm assuming you'd be the "thumbs down" guy...

[@robertgreene2684]

The world is full of people who do not understand ,music and its geniuses. Just ignore them

[@DavidA-ps1qr]

@@MrDanamp I think he probably does like Korngold's music, as I do, but understands that he had to write this stuff to put food on the table. However this recording and the orchestra don't do it any favours!

[@clydeblair9622]

IMO his best score, not the swashbuckling hysterics.
