CHAN 10438

The Film Music of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Volume 2


Korngold:

The Sea Hawk

(ed. Rumon Gamba)


BBC Philharmonic, Rumon Gamba

By sheer coincidence I  recently re-watched the wonderful 1940 Errol Flynn film for which this score was composed. I’d momentarily forgotten the composer’s identity and when that incredibly arresting fanfare started up, was all but swept out to sea with Flynn and the boys. Now comes Rumon Gamba with this exhilarating new recording in terrific sound. Buckle your swash and away! - Gramophone Magazine

“The suite leaves no doubt as to the giddy fecundity and awesome architectural sweep of Korngold's exhilarating canvas. …the orchestral playing under Gamba's judiciously paced lead has a sophisticated sheen, appropriate sense of spectacle… whole-hearted commitment that testify to the BBC Philharmonic's unimpeachable credentials in this repertoire...” Gramophone Magazine, Janurary 2008
