Our Take

Erich Wolfgang Korngold. What a name, right? Sounds like a character straight out of a Brothers Grimm fairytale. And fittingly, his music evokes a similar sense of whimsy and magic.

On his latest album, "Piano Sonatas 1 & 2 / Don Quixote / Fairy Pictures," Korngold delivers a masterclass in storytelling through music. The piano sonatas are like little narratives, with each note painting a vivid picture of adventure and drama. It's like listening to a musical book unfolding before your very ears.

But the real gem of this album is the Don Quixote suite. It's a rollercoaster ride of emotions, taking you from the highs of chivalric heroism to the lows of delusional despair. And let's not forget the Fairy Pictures, which are like little snapshots of a mystical realm where anything is possible.

Overall, Korngold's compositions are a delightful mix of classical elegance and Hollywood glamour. It's like if Mozart had a love child with John Williams (now there's a mental image for you). So hop on your imaginary steed, grab your fairy dust, and let Korngold take you on a musical journey unlike any other. You won't regret it. Trust us.
