Next Sunday at the Het Concertgebouw ! With Sasha Witteveen (double bass) and Pieter van Loenen (violin) concertgebouw.nl/concerten/2617…

The climax of the 1st movement of Mahler's incomplete 10th Symphony is one of the most shattering moments in all of music. It was written in 1910, when the common-practice in Western music that had endured for centuries was collapsing, and the world was about to go to war.

On the menu this week.

After postponing it for like 4 years, I finally started practicing Korngold’s 2nd piano sonata. Like all of his music it’s freaking hard. Here’s the composer playing the Largo. He wrote the piece when he was THIRTEEN and I can’t wrap my head around it. youtu.be/FO0DEXrIT78

Erich Wolfgang Korngold was born OTD 1897 & to mark it, here's the only known film of him playing the piano in his own, inimitable arrangement of Mendelssohn's song 'An die Entfernte'. The piano survives to this day at Warner Bros Studio. youtu.be/5GUHiNzRqwQ

Happy birthday Erich.

Whoah I had no idea this performance was available – and it’s utterly amazing.

"Music is a beautiful art, if not the greatest through out all the arts. It's the kind of beauty that lives in time and space." –Maestro Bernard Herrmann, born on this day in 1911

Let’s go

A look at how famous composers struggled to draw their treble clefs. The treble clef, often referred to as the G clef, derives its name from the elegant curl that gracefully encompasses the line representing the G note. This iconic symbol has a rich historical significance

We did it! 3 days of Korngold recordings!!! Lots of beautiful music coming soon…

This should be GREAT! Ramon, you are one of the new Monuments Men/Women of Music. John Mauceri

I was extremely moved by the first Dutch production of Das Wunder der Heliane by #Korngold. Amazing Annemarie Kremer, amazing NNO Nederlandse Reisopera

As John Williams trends on Twitter, let me just take this opportunity to remind Lucasfilm and Disney that NONE of John's scores for the #StarWars films in their complete form are currently available on digital platforms. Please fix this ASAP!! #JohnWilliams

音楽仲間のRamon Ramon van Engelenhoven のソロアルバムが届きました！ エーリヒ・ヴォルフガング・コルンゴルドのピアノ作品集。 彼は演奏も編曲もレベルが半端なく高いので、聴くのが楽しみです。Spotifyでも聴けるみたいなので気になった方は是非視聴してみて下さい！

Reunited with John Mauceri after he did an incredible concert with Danny Elfman I couldn’t have realised my Korngold album without his help and am so grateful to him!

Also this was probably my last tweet, see you at Bluesky!
