Erich Wolfgang Korngold - The Adventures Of A Wunderkind - A Po

Erich Wolfgang Korngold is principally remembered as a composer of film music from Hollywood's golden age--his renowned scores for such films as ROBIN HOOD starring Errol Flynn and A MIDSUMMER NIGHTS DREAM-- but little is known about his life in Europe beforehand. In the years before Hollywood beckoned, he had become a musical sensation in Europe and ADVENTURES OF A WUNDERKIND, a documentary about his life, covers many of these seemingly disparate career threads. In terms of footage, home movies, photographs and private tapes are presented, along with a ten minute montage of extracts from his Warner Brothers films. Additionally, A PORTRAIT AND A CONCERT presents conductor Hugo Wolff directing two pieces of classical music that Korngold wrote while scoring for Hollywood: a cello concerto and a violin concerto.
