麻豆约拍

From the Hoddinott Hall in Cardiff, Stephen Johnson is joined by the 麻豆约拍 National Orchestra of Wales, conductor Rumon Gamba and soloist Matthew Trusler for an in-depth look at Korngold's colourful post-war Violin Concerto.

Having escaped the Anschluss in his native Vienna, Korngold finally settled in Hollywood in 1938 and began writing music for film scores such as "The Adventures of Robin Hood", which won him his second Oscar.

Once the war was over, Korngold set about composing music for the concert platform once again, and this concerto was one of the first to be put before the public in a performance by Jascha Heifetz.
