About

Korngold’s incidental music for Shakespeare’s comedy Much Ado about Nothing, premiered in Vienna in 1920, enjoyed instant success and soon spread round the world in a series of arrangements that are still performed today.

The music has not been heard as Korngold intended since that first production.

For this recording, made in conjunction with its fully staged US premiere, Korngold’s complete score was reconstructed from the original Viennese materials.

A recent ‘complete recording’ omitted a number of cues, reconstructed for this recording for the Vienna materials.

Korngold’s family made his own recordings available so that these 21st-century performers could study the composer’s own approach to the music.

For the first time on CD, the music is played here by the chamber-orchestral forces for which it was written.

This recording includes Shakespeare’s spoken dialogue where Korngold intended it to be heard over the music but also present the music in separate tracks without voices.

Reviews

July/August 2013

The playing is very fine indeed...all in all this was a very worthwhile project that enhances our understanding of Korngold's burgeoning gifts as a composer for the stage - and ultimately the screen.

7th May 2013

This is indeed a worthy and welcome addition to the Korngold discography...Mauceri was a very apt choice for he has had much experience conducting Korngold and is a stalwart champion of film music

8th August 2013

It's beautifully played, though synchronising Shakespeare to Korngold results at times in a slowish delivery of the text. Among the cast, Ari Itkin's very funny Benedick and Daniel Emond's sweet but thick Claudio are particularly outstanding.
