The Korngold Violin Concerto
If it were a Hollywood movie from the 1940s, the plot would read something like, "Hero and heroine unjustly kept apart. Years pass. Hardship ensues. At long last, hero and heroine are reunited." Today's show isn't a Hollywood movie, but it does feature music by Erich Korngold, who wrote for Hollywood films in the 1940s. And we'll hear the story of a priceless Guarneri violin that got to play Korngold's Violin Concerto, after being kept away from it for a half century.
