From Hollywood with Love
The unique sound aesthetics and virtuosity of the Philharmonic Five are ready for the movies! So it is only natural that the five musicians greet you with a musical postcard from Hollywood. They combine famous film melodies by John Williams, Lalo Schifrin and Henry Mancini, among others, with an early chamber music work by Erich Wolfgang Korngold: the rarely heard Piano Quintet op. 15.
Korngold was born in Brno in 1897 and grew up as a musical prodigy in Vienna. The pupil of Alexander Zemlinsky premiered opus 15, composed in 1920-23, with the Bandler Quartet in Hamburg in February 1923. Korngold was one of the most prominent figures in modern music for decades, until the Nazi regime drove him into exile in America in 1938. There he became a celebrated composer of film music. Music down, ears up!
