The big series – Amazement

Explore the dazzling fusion of early 20‑century genius and cinematic legend in “The Big Series – Amazement.” Follow 10‑year‑old prodigy Erich Wolfgang Korngold as Gustav Mahler marvels at his first performances, and journey through the milestones that shaped him—from the premiere of his opera *Die tote Stadt* to his Hollywood triumphs, culminating in his 1938 Oscar‑winning score for *The Adventures of Robin Hood*. Witness the romance of Robin Hood and Lady Marian brought to life by the soaring violin and heartfelt cello, set against a backdrop of the film’s most iconic moments. Relive the bold energy of Richard Strauss’s tone poem, *Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche*, as heard in Paris under the eye of Claude Debussy—whose astonished reflections capture the piece’s genius—and feel the historic excitement of Beethoven’s Symphony No. 3 “Eroica,” the symphonic reflection on revolution and empire. This concert film celebrates three landmark works—the Korngold Suite from *The Adventures of Robin Hood*, Strauss’s *Till Eulenspiegels lustige Streiche*, and Beethoven’s *Eroica*—and invites you to discover the music that defined an era.
