Korngold/Schreker/ Casella/Weill

Immerse yourself in a cinematic symphonic odyssey with the concert film **“Korngold/Schreker/ Casella/Weill.”** From the glinting swashbuckling sounds of Erich Wolfgang Korngold’s *Robin Hood Suite Alt England* through the stirring battle themes “Battle, Victory and Epilogue (Lotta, vittoria ed Epilogo),” the film presents an intimate look at Korngold’s gift for melody and drama. The program then transposes to the atmospheric world of Franz Schreker, who charms with “Der Geburtstag der Infantin” and a striking suite of his own: from the mystical *Reigen (Spiritual Illusion)* to the spirited “Die Tanze der Zwerges” and the tender “Mit dem Wind im Frühling.” The journey continues in the Italian virtuoso Alfredo Casella, where the brass-rocking *The Serpent Donna* (continued in parts 1 and 2) sets the night’s stage, followed by the vibrant “Music of King Altidòr’s dream” and the heroic “Warrior March.” Introducing a sharper edge, Kurt Weill’s “Lady in the Dark: Symphonic Nocturne” (arranged by Robert Russell Bennett) unfurls, enlivening the evening with the haunting “My Ship theme (Andante misterioso),” the romantic “Glamour theme (Andante amoroso),” and the exhilarating “Driving in the blue car (Allegro animato).” The film crescendos with “Girl of the Moment (With passion)” and the evocative “Bolero,” before winding down with the gentle “This Is New Wedding Music (Lento).” Experience a feast of orchestral color and narrative flair, all captured in a dynamic concert film that brings these master composers to life on screen.
