Dear Members
This month marks the centenary of the world premiere of Korngold's delightful incidental music for Shakespeare's Much Ado About Nothing and, lockdown notwithstanding, I have written an extended article detailing its history for the Museum of Music History in London.
This is published online, today and the link is below.
It includes a number of rare images and a rare recording from my collection of Korngold himself conducting the overture:

Hope you all like it. Feel free to share!
Stay safe everyone and keep well!

Thanks for that.
The work has a fascinating history.
You are most welcome!
Yes, thank you, Brendan. Very informative, and wonderful to hear Korngold conduct the sparkling overture.
It was my pleasure to share it Gareth! Thankyou.
