Tussen Twee Werelden by Various, Wed 12 Nov 1997, From (1997/1997), Directed by Carlos Wagner, Conductor Ingrid Jacoby, St Paul's Covent Garden, London, United Kingdom

A production on the occasion of the centenary of the birth of composer Erich Wolfgang Korngold. May 29, 1997 marked the 100th anniversary of Erich Korngold's birth. In his youth he was considered the greatest musical genius the world had known since Mozart (dixit Mahler), and yet he was almost completely forgotten by his death. During his lifetime he was an esteemed opera composer and later in Hollywood he had an exceptional career as a pioneer of symphonic film music. For some time now, his music has been discovered in new recordings and his works have been performed in concert halls all over the world. Author Ian Burton has written a text about Erich Korngold's flamboyant personality especially for this production. In Between Two Worlds , Michael Culkin plays the role of the composer who muses on his life and music.
