Just received the Spielplan from the Saarländische Staatstheater in Saarbrücken and it will stage Korngold's rarely performed Die stumme Serenade from April 27! It will also (given the dire COVID situation in Germany at present) probably be live-streamed on the Internet. https://www.staatstheater.sa...

Piano Concerto - Review in New York Times April 1
New York Times, April 1 2021 "At 25, Erich Wolfgang Korngold was inspired by the tragedy of the pianist Paul Wittgenstein, who had lost his right arm as a soldier in World War I, to write a teeming, episodic, single-movement Concerto in C-sharp requiring just the left hand. First performed in 1924, ...

Korngold Piano Sonatas - new CD.
In the chaos of the pandemic, I somehow missed this new release, which came out at the end of last year: https://www.amazon.de/-/en/Kathleen-Solose/dp/B08PTJCDQP The label is somewhat obscure but the release is nevertheless welcome. It is many years since the last recording of Korngold's piano sonat...
