KORNGOLD String Sextet in D, Op.10
SCHUBERT String Quintet in C, D.956
Best-known for his landmark film scores for The Sea Hawk and other Hollywood swashbucklers, Korngold had been a child prodigy who created lush, melodic music in all genres from an early age – his first piano sonata was published at the age of 11, and he wrote this beautiful string sextet when he was 18. From an earlier era in the Viennese musical tradition comes one of Schubert’s final works, his sublime quintet for two violins, viola and two cellos.
