	Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Erich Wolfgang Korngold (May 29, 1897 – November 29, 1957) was a composer.
		Erich Korngold was born in an assimilated Jewish home in Brünn, Austria-Hungary (now Brno, Czech Republic), the son of the music critic Julius Korngold, and studied music under Alexander von Zemlinsky and Robert Fuchs.
		Gustav Mahler, upon meeting the young Erich, called him a "musical genius." He had success in Europe with his opera Die tote Stadt (1920) among other pieces before moving to the United States in 1934, where he wrote a number of highly regarded film scores.

	VH1.com : Erich Wolfgang Korngold : Biography
		Erich Wolfgang Korngold was, twice over and in two separate areas, one of the most renowned musical figures of the 20th century.
		Korngold's work, with their big tunes, bold melodic statements, and outsized orchestrations that were not only easy on the ear but self-consciously beautiful, all of these attributes an affront to the supporters of the modernists.
		Korngold became one of the most respected and well remunerated musicians in Hollywood, and the financial security that he achieved was welcomed in a world as filled with uncertainty as that of the late '30s and early '40s.

	Korngold, Erich Wolfgang
		Erich Wolfgang Korngold, born in Brünn (today Brno) on 29 May 1897, was a child prodigy who had won the admiration of Strauss, Mahler and Puccini.
		Being a pupil of Zemlinsky and progressing rapidly, his meteoric rise to fame with the ballet "The Snowman", composed at the age of 11 and premiered in 1910 at the Wiener Hofoper, caused a sensation.
		Korngold’s opera compositions ("The Ring of Polycrates" and "Violanta", both in 1916, "Die tote Stadt" 1920, "Das Wunder der Heliane" 1927) made him the most performed operatic composer in Austria and Germany, apart from Richard Strauss.

		Erich Wolfgang Korngold was born in the Moravian town of Brünn (then part of the Austro-Hungarian empire, now Brno, Czech Republic) on the 29th of May 1897, the son of Julius Korngold, Vienna's leading music critic and an influential member of the central European Jewish community.
		What I find amazing is that Korngold had begun to tackle such operatic subjects before he was out of his teens, and he was actually a late developer puberty-wise.
		Both Mendelssohn and Korngold were wunderkinder born to influential Jewish families, both were precocious in their early compositions, both travelled widely and benefitted from popular appeal and both really failed to placate their worst critics.

	Erich Wolfgang Korngold - classical and film composer
		His father Julius was a music critic in Vienna and the young Erich Wolfgang was a precocious child prodigy impressing composers of the stature of Gustav Mahler, Richard Strauss and Giacomo Puccini with his composition skills at age 9.
		By the early 30s, Korngold was firmly on the map as a classical composer of note with a number of operas in the grand Wagnerian style established in the repertoire, and Korngold himself was professor at the Vienna State Academy of Music.
		Some of Korngold's swashbuckler themes can be found on compilation CDs, where "The Sea Hawk" is particularly recommended, as is the double album called Swashbucklers which features a number of Korngold's movie themes and is a great addition to any soundtrack collection.

	Movie Music UK - Erich Wolfgang Korngold
		In the early 1900s, Austrian composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold was world renowned as the most exciting child musician since Mozart, a prodigy who wrote his first musical symphony at the age of 11.
		Throughout his career, Korngold longed to return to the classical music world he had left behind, but the stigma of being known primarily as a film composer meant that he was not taken seriously by his peers.
		Korngold suffered a cerebral thrombosis at his time in Hollywood on 29 November 1957, and died at the age of 60.

	BMOP :: Erich Korngold
		A child prodigy, who wrote his first musical symphony at the age of 11, Korngold was born in the town of BrÃ¼nn in Austria in May 1897 and quickly rose to be world renowned as the most exciting child musician since Mozart.
		Somewhat surprisingly, Korngold scored only twenty films during his career, his last coming in 1956 when he was asked to adapt music by Wagner for a biopic starring Alan Badel.
		Sadly, on 29 November 1957, Korngold suffered a cerebral thrombosis and died at the age of 60.

		Korngold's following frustration takes him to a series of years a little bit out of bounds, on where he dedicates a big part of his energies to arrange and modernize operettas, among others, from Johann Strauss II.
		Korngold returned without hope to Hollywood, and is there, when he is composing the score for The Adventures of Robin Hood (which will get him his second Academy Award), that his worst suspicions about his beloved Austria become true: the annexation with Germany, the Anschluss, is already a reality.
		When the World War II comes to its end, Korngold tried a new comeback to the world of "serious music", premiering his String Quartet #3 op.34 and the Violin Concerto op.35, two splendid works for which he used thematic material extracted from his film scores.

		Korngold built upon the late-Romantic idiom of Richard Strauss and Gustav Mahler and created sweeping melodies and lavish harmonies that quickly became the model for movie studio swashbucklers and melodramas of the 1930s and 1940s.
		Korngold's admiration for the music of Johann Strauss, Jr., led to his collaboration with producer-director Max Reinhardt on an anthology titled Waltzes from Vienna, and in 1934 Reinhardt commissioned Korngold to adapt and conduct Felix Mendelssohn's stage score for the Warner Brothers film of A Midsummer Night's Dream.
		Korngold's impact on Hollywood was immediate, and after completing another opera and a score for Oscar Hammerstein for Paramount, he settled at Warner Bros., where he composed 18 original scores from 1935 through 1946.

	The Film Music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold (Erich Wolfgang Korngold) - scorereviews.com soundtrack review
		Korngold many times made reference to his scores as 'operas without singing', thus he made a lot of use of the leitmotifs.
		Erich often re-used themes from his film scores in some of his classical works and this is no exception - it is the theme for the slow third movement of his Third String Quartet written in 1944 and it is beautifully incorporated into this chamber work.
		Korngold wrote this concert suite and performed it in Oakland and San Francisco shortly after the release of the film and it was one of the first film scores to ever be played in concert.

		During the war years, Erich Korngold almost exclusive composed film music for Warner Bros. His own neo-romantic idiom, an innovation in the early 1900s, seemed dated after the close of the war.
		Erich composed all of his scores sitting at a piano at Warner Bros., and did not use any of the technical devices such as click tracks and other visual aids.
		Korngold's influence is particularly evident in the scores of John Williams.

		Korngold's film music is all about effect so far as I'm concerned, and enough of a good thing is enough, especially when the transitions between the separate extracts are arranged as skilfully and smoothly as they are here.
		Korngold's style fitted the epics of the 30's and 40's to perfection - it was his natural style, he didn't adapt that as William Alwyn did, and he didn't follow models but was the model himself, starting with Captain Blood in 1935.
		Korngold simply was not given time to go through the hard slog of writing out his scores in full, but he knew the kind of sound he wanted and I would guess he supervised his assistants pretty closely.

		For those who know about Korngold only through chapters in film music books, the recently published, thoroughly researched biography by Jessica Duchen gives an intimate look to the musical upbringing and life of an extremely gifted composer, who was hailed as a wunderkind (child prodigy) by the musical bigwigs of his time.
		Korngold was a wunderkind in a true sense: he produced a full-blooded Piano Sonata in D minor at the age of 11; his first large-scale orchestra piece at 14; and his first opera at 16.
		It is often stated that Erich Wolfgang Korngold nearly stopped composing concert music because he started to write film music in the early 1930s.

		Clearly the dominant factor in the suppression of Korngold's music was the disdain of the art crowd for a composer who wrote movie (gawd!) music, and who wouldn't kiss the book and declare serialism as his personal savior.
		Luckily for Korngold and his fans, as the century nears its end, composition has finally broken the dogmatic bonds of the "music of the future." No better sign exists of this than the renaissance in Korngold recordings in the 1990s, and the respectful if belated rehabilitation of his reputation betokened by a book like Carroll's.
		Korngold was one of the fortunate few who were able to leave Europe, find both employment and artistic nuturing in the US during the war, and return to pick up the threads of his artistic life.
