John StorgardsAbout
Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897–1957) was as an Austro-Hungarian composer with Jewish roots who became a naturalized US citizen in 1943. His success as a Hollywood film composer culminated in two Academy Awards.
The 50-minute Symphony in F sharp major, Op.40 is Korngold’s only symphony, written in a late Romantic style. Composed between 1947 and 1952, it is dedicated to the memory of Franklin D Roosevelt (who had died in 1945). In 1959, Dimitri Mitropoulos wrote: “All my life I have searched for the perfect modern work. In this symphony I have found it.”
In 1919, the 22-year-old Korngold wrote Tänzchen im alten Stil during his military service in World War I. The world première performance of this rediscovered work took place in Jyväskylä, Finland, in 2007 under John Storgårds, who on this CD conducts the Helsinki Philharmonic Orchestra.
