A rare radio interview from October 1954 on the RAVAG, Vienna, in which composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold (speaking in German) talks about his recent works (the Violin Concerto, the Serenade for Strings and Die Stumme Serenade among others) as well as his recently completed film biography of Wagner - MAGIC FIRE - and the forthcoming premiere of his Symphony in F#.

He also mentions a planned film of his opera Die tote Stadt starring Charles Boyer and Michele Morgan which sadly was never made.

This is the only known audio interview with Korngold to have survived.
With thanks to Jiri Ort who discovered the forgotten tape in 2007.
