Korngold created works in the romantic tradition of Mahler and Strauss from an early age. He fled Nazi Germany for Hollywood, where his symphonic film scores won two Oscars. Later, he turned again to composing concert music, but his commercial success prompted critics to dismiss his works.

1997, First edition. A very good copy with light rubbing to the board edges and a short tear to the top of the front external hinge. Light finger soiling on the fore edge and a previous owners name stamp on the front free endpaper but otherwise the contents are fine and unmarked. The d/w is unclipped and near fine with only superficial shelf rubbing. Scans available if required.
