I heard the Sea Hawk Suite a few years ago in Rotterdam, and was shocked how short it was. I actually travelled from Switzerland for the concert (conducted by James Sedares), and since I could time all the other pieces from the program at 35 minutes, I naturally expected the "Suite" to be at least 4...

I tried to track down the very firs time I heard some Korngold and was aware of it, and ... this film probably is it! I remember when I first saw "Aria", I was really not very enthusiastic about most of it, but the "Tote Stadt" sequence was one I really enjoyed, even though visually it was quite cor...

Hey, but its nice to have different opinions without killing each other. Yes it is! :lol: All I will add is that when I started getting into Korngold 12 years ago I would have bitten anyones arm off to get hold of either recording. Peter It goes without saying, but... sometimes it's best to be remi...

Wait! Wait! I got it! "Bee" is a play on words!!! It's so obvious! I'm so daft sometimes... "Bee" is a play on the insect and the letter "B", which stands... for you, Brendan. I've got you messing around with me whenever I come here! I do have an insect in the brain after all! :lol: Do I get a point...

Meaning... what?brendan g carroll wrote: If you don't like criticism, don't set yourself up for it.
And, maybe there was a misunderstanding, but what was the "bee in the bonnet" thing?
To me, bonnet is "head" and "bee" is an insect: ergo, I have an insect in the brain!
Insult or not? I set myself up for this?

Oh, ok! No stoning, then? Well I will give the Chandos a try. Actually, I was disappointed twice recently, on similar grounds. The other was the Intrada "Spellbound" by Rozsa, which is a score/piece that I really adore (also under it's reworkings, such as the "Spellbound Concerto"). Well the Intrada...

My, my, I almost missed you, Mr.Carroll. I must say, I don't remember having ever encountered anybody who seems so devoid of a sense of humour... ( Just to make it clear: "Because he got paid?" followed by :lol: = joke! Get it? No? Even if this followed by: " Seriously..." Still dont get the hint? N...

I guess I'll burn in hell for this, but... I got my copy of Sea Hawk/Deception in September, I listened to it once, twice, three times, and... I just don't like it. It gives me the same overall impression as the Naxos "Robin Hood": it sounds ok... but not great. Either the tempo sounds a tad slow or...

Because he got paid? :D Hm, seriously, since nobody managed togive you an answer, I'm wondering: which Williams recordings did George Korngold produce? I'm thinking: maybe he produced them before he became aware that Williams was lifting his father. As for me, if I hadn't been told about of the King...
