[brendangcarroll]

Korngold fans in London can look forward to hearing his music 'live' this Autumn season.

As well as the Symphony in F# at the BBC PROMS at the Royal Albert Hall on September 4 (to be televised a week later on BBC4 ), his Piano Trio Opus 1 and Second Quartet Opus 26 can also be heard at the famous Wigmore Hall!

From the website:-

"Steadily entering the repertoire is Korngold's Second Quartet: written in 1933, just before the composer left Vienna for Hollywood, it admirably represents a unique voice neglected for decades, at its best."

Yes, this is all very good news indeed.
