Korngold Cello Concerto - Part 1

[PTCello]

What a great piec! And what a very fine performance. Wonderful cellist. I need to see the movie, and buy the music, too!

I hear some Hindemith and maybe Vaughn Williams.

And, at 2:28, I hear a hint of the second shostakovich concerto(which of course wasn't written til 20 years later) and I hear some of the music from a typical John Ford western(which may well have been written by Korngold himself)

Thank you for posting!

is the conductor hugh wolff?

[davidovich00]

Look for Ricardo Acosta's sonata for piano and violin. He is deeply influenced by Korngold.

The narrator sounds a little like Dirk Bogarde, but it isn't. Anybody know?

[conimans]

nice concerto, but a bit disappointing performance: terrible vibrato in the slow and intimate part and it should sound easier; there is too much tension in my opninion.

[Desafinado83]

@conimans she looks nice however :)

Sorry, that should be 'Private Lives of Elizabeth of Essex'. Can't these posts be edited, revised?

[Prospro8]

There are good recording of the concerto on RCA etc.. The film version is much shorter, but the concert version is beefed up with beautiful sad phrases from Koengold's score from 'The Private Life of Elizabeth and Essex'.

If it´s just 12 minutes long, shouldn´t it be called a concertino instead?

[k73f]

i've never heard of this concerto before and i love it.

[inaned]

Very interesting piece! And great playing!

[mrn93]

pitty its only 12 or so minutes long, if it was longer, it might be standard repertoire

[michaharan]

It's beautifull, there might even be an advantage to it being less than 12 minutes long in terms of programing.

[nkip9230]

@michaharan and it might be easier to memorize :P

[Sinfoniette]

Maybe, but 12 minutes is easier to swallow than 30 minutes.

I think it's worth mentioning that the cellist who actually performs this concerto for the film " Deception ", is Eleanor Aller who in 1946 was principal cellist of Warner Brothers studio orchestra.
