Erich wolfgang korngold's violin concerto
Korngold was heir to the tradition of the great Viennese composers, but he fled the Nazis and landed in Hollywood. His film scores not only won Oscars, but remain influential today (John Williams is a disciple). However, his lone violin concerto may be his masterpiece, a sprawling work of cinematic sweep. We'll go to the Concertgebouw in Amsterdam to hear Danish violinist Nikolaj Znaider play it with conductor Valery Gergiev and the Rotterdam Philharmonic.
