Joseph Lin (violin) and Benjamin Loch (piano), 2002.
Korngold!
A unique discovery!
This CD was in my mum's collection, and I snaffled it when we checked out the collection.
Korngold's style is probably what Alban Berg would have been writing if he hadn't embraced atonality and serialism...definitely a Viennese flavour, with tunes and harmonies about to burst the barriers of tonality.
One might regard the music as meandering, waffly...and indeed, there is no particular rush for the pieces to finish.
It's the sort of music one tunes into and out of, and works effectively as background music.
The playing is immaculate, silky and smooth.
8/10
