Notes: preceded by Neil Brand and Professor Kate Williams talking about Korngold's flight from Vienna to Hollywood, and the wider cultural exodus from Jewish Vienna; Korngold's return to Vienna and seen as being out of step with both e.g. Berg and wartime suffering. Then VT with John Wilson 01:02:50 on the "catastrophic" difficulty of the symphony – writing for the absolute best players (pre-war Vienna Philharmonic and Warner Bros orchestra); his personal tragedy in the Adagio; Wilson agrees with Korngold's statement that the work is pure music, but says it has a "dark heart".
