Though primarily known nowadays as a composer for film, Korngold had a significant output in other areas. This month's CCM features one of his major, non-film works, the Symphony in F-sharp. The work is incredibly vibrant and engaging throughout. The orchestration is imaginative, and it's as polished as one would expect from a composer who wrote so much for orchestra in his career. The clip is from the second movement of the Symphony, a Scherzo which is, somewhat unusually, mostly in 12/8 time. |
