The associations I have with this symphony are some of the most precious in my life...as full of nostalgia and warmth as this charming and highly original idiom realized by Korngold at the tender age of 16. It is so underrated...sure it owes a debt to Strauss and Mahler, but there are so many elements of style, orchestration, rhythm that are so distinctive...and the content is just first rate.

Thank you for this neglected but highly attractive work composed by Korngold when he was 17 (if I remember correctly - certainly while in his teens). A foreshadowing of the genius already emerging. The European climate forced him to escape to America where he was deflected to Hollywood, composing some of the greatest film scores to emerge from that source. While the majority of his output was for the film industry, there are enough works to see his ability and potential. The world lost what many saw as an emerging successor to Mahler. His symphony has recently appeared on KZitem, a late work and not to be missed, as with this present performance. This is truly an outstanding performance and with excellent technical quality (video and audio engineering) I am on tippy-toes with delight at the find. Again, thank you.

Korngold finished the composition of the music of the Sinfonietta in late 1912, when he was 15. He spent another year orchestrating it.

You can hear the ideas later employed in the 'Robin Hood' music already! Korngold was not only a child prodigy but also a musical genius.

Sounds like romantic movie music! Very moving.

@alexkije: The reason why it sounds like romantic movie music is because when Korngold had to leave Austria, he emigrated to America, and settled in Los Angeles with a contract to score films for Warner Bros. Korngold is the composer who _brought_ that sound to Hollywood!

A wonderful performance of one of the more weirdly named "sinfoniettas" in the repertoire. There's nothing -etta about it: it's nearly as long as Korngold's symphony and employs larger forces. Great work, though.

Tudo que tenho visto e ouvido de Korngold, é de incontestável magnitude, mesmo não tendo sido divulgado como se espera venha a ser!... De qualquer modo, esperamos que, novos vídeos, ou mesmo apenas áudios sejam disponibilizados para o deleite de muitos apreciadores! Continuaremos aguardando. Guarujá SP/Br

Immensely more genius at 15 than Mozart at 36, even though reportedly irreligious later on. I haven't heard any of his later works which surpass this one, including Robin Hood. His F# Symphony far inferior. His Die Tote Stadt far inferior. It's as if the spark of Holy Spirit whilst he was still in Europe, and under protection enclave of his parents, wildly freed his soul, whereas in later life the Factory rat race imposed by the same shadow Wizards of Oz behind the Curtain pulling all the economic levers, which Wagner protested against correctly, as did Tolkien in Lord of the Rings, put the later Korngold on a treadmill which lost his youthful faith and long antennae to the Spirit. Nevertheless, the debt of Star Wars to him and Holst, has uplifted some films which transcend, whereas the vast majority of films end up as schlock due again to corruptive forces claiming "market" whims are best policy. Even Adam Smith, as professor of moral philosophy, wrote things upholding investment into beautiful and moral things, which the idiot atheistic "economists" erased from Econ 101, in order to uphold the Usury State that later destroyed Korngold's talents, as well as most other artists. There are hidden clues here, that disprove mainstream materialistic economics. So, people, stop thinking this is merely "art for art's sake" as the narrow minded atheists including Adorno might have u think. Part of it is that there is no need for "market" motives to create art such as this, which uplifts the economy by uplifting minds to a higher intellectual and humnane state. The entire mainsteam econ ignores all this in their "models", and so they act like ingrate parasites, failing to allocate currency for this, because they fail to mention God nor Tithing, nor Parable of the Talents, nor a whole host of Biblical praxis which are in fact binding upon all, if they want prayers for peace answered. His piece shows what is possible, when economics frees gifted minds to do what they were born to do, instead of what the Mammon worshipping self-centered "markets" tell them to do.
