<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>A reappraisal of the work of the composer of 'film music'.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br>This colourful biography explores the life and music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957), whose varied compositions ranged from operas (written at a very young age) and orchestral music to lighter works such as operettas and Hollywood film scores. Korngold's lush, romantic scores have influenced many other film composers, while a recent resurgence of interest in his work has lent greater credibility to his more serious classical compositions.<p/><br></br><p><b> From the Back Cover </b></p></br></br>Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957) is an extraordinary figure who bridged the worlds of serious music, operetta and film scores, from Mahler to Errol Flynn. Now, as his concert and stage music is also enjoying a great revival of interest, this study offers a reappraisal of Korngold's life and work, revealing a great sense of personal integrity and conviction for musical ideals which are the hallmarks of a true artist.<p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p>This is an inspired choice in this still early round of Phaidon's excellent, well-presented and illustrated <i>20th-Century Composers</i> Series.--<i>Classical Music</i></p><p>Jessica Duchen's admirable biography will do much to advance the cause of Korngold.--<i>Jewish Chronicle</i></p><p> On the <i>20th Century Composers</i> Series</p><p>As a series, Phaidon's <i>20th Century Composers </i>has brought remarkable variety and a welter of information, both necessary and delightfully trivial.
