Thank you for sharing, I am a fan of Hollywood golden age music, and Korngold was a musical genius. He created so much gorgeous melodies for or without the screen.
Wonderful show! I saw Slatkin conduct the LA Philharmonic at the Hollywood Bowl 50 some-odd years ago and it's remained fresh in my memory. The personal reminiscentses of Hollywood, the WB Studio, the music scene, the Allers, the Slatkins, and of course the towering genius Korngold really made an hour go by very quickly. Thank you so much for posting this: what a great gift!
Thank you so much for posting this. Fred was my cello teacher and gave me this recording years ago and unfortunately I lost it while moving. It is so wonderful to see it again, and to remember his fantastic playing and the deep connection between music and the entire family. RIP Dr. Zlotkin
always likes Korngold's music and saw the films at the Thalia in NYC years ago. I met Slatkin once when I was in Aspen and a bunch of us got together for music, food and lots of booze. Slatkin and Marty Verdrager, a theory teacher at Juilliard when i was there, were playing a piano 4 hand version on Mahler 5. Great time and great people. This was in 1972.

Thank you! Great film, a pity not so many people saw this!
I agree! Glad you enjoyed it. Spread the word!
Thank you! Do you have the equally wonderful Rozsa episode by any chance?
Thanks for your appreciation. And no, I'm sorry I don't have the episode your asked about.
The Flynn scores were the worst.
Korngold's music is bombastic and emotionally pallid that's why he's almost forgotten today.
A comment of supreme ignorance
