The Korngolds

​

The ‚Wunderkind‘ who was never able to emancipate himself from his father, the ‚Hollywood composer‘ whom the ‚serious‘ music world failed to accept, the ‚late romantic‘ regarded by the modernists and ‚atonalists‘ as an antiquated ‚tunesmith‘ are all labels and clichés that are being reappraised today. Korngold himself put it simply and honestly: ‚I have never made a distinction between music for films, operas or concerts.‘ This motto will also be reflected in the exhibition, the first major review of the life and work of the composer, his relationship with his parents, particularly his severe father and music critic, his marriage to the creative Luzi née Sonnenthal, in other words

The Korngolds.
