Korngold: The Sea Hawk
Erich Wolfgang Korngold:
The Sea Hawk (suite)
Symphony in F-Sharp, Op. 40
James DePreist, conductor
Oregon Symphony
“The Symphony receives a particularly warm and beautiful interpretation. DePreist has a sympathetic feeling for contrasts of textures; the tempi are excellently judged and atmospheres powerful, with a vigorous sense of energy, tension and release. The Sea Hawk, though, is allowed to wallow. Particular poignancy is added through the presence of Korngold’s granddaughter Kathrin as a violinist member of the orchestra.
