Frank Strobel conducts “Chaplin in Concert”

Sat, Feb 10, 2024, 20:00

Konzerthaus Berlin (Berlin)

Frank Strobel (Conductor), Rundfunk-Sinfonieorchester Berlin

Chaplin is clearly much more than a tunesmith and filmmaker: his entire cinematic concept is rooted in a deep understanding of rhythm and emotion. His iconic appearance is perhaps the most poignant symbol of the average man struggling with love, hunger, poverty, fascism and capitalism. The resilience of the Little Tramp, his victories and defeats are choreographed with the precision of a ballet. Nevertheless, CHAPLIN IN CONCERT: WITH A SMILE is neither a historical nor a biographical “concert documentary”. Rather, it is about the wondrous interplay of the many facets of a genius: the actor, the filmmaker, the humanist, the clown, the dancer, the art rebel, the egomaniac, the musician.The concert will be broadcast live from the Konzerthaus on rbbKultur. WITH A SMILE – CHAPLIN IN CONCERT A production of the European FilmPhilharmonic Orchestra – EFPI-GmbH under licence from Roy Export S.A.S. and Bourne Co.

Concert of Film Music: Korngold in Hollywood

Fri, May 9, 2025, 19:30

Filharmonia Narodowa, Concert Hall (Warszawa)

Warsaw Philharmonic Orchestra, Rumon Gamba (Conductor), Johan Dalene (Violin)

Johan Dalene, photo: Marco Borggreve Erich Wolfgang Korngold was a child prodigy whose talent enchanted Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss. He staged his most famous opera at the age of 23, pursued a career as a conductor shortly afterwards and then became, still at a very young age, a lecturer at the Staatsakademie für Musik in Vienna. Nothing foreshadowed his great turn to film, which – bored by the silent image – decided to speak with an audible voice. A few years before the outbreak of the Second World War, Korngold moved to the US, and he eventually took American citizenship. He became permanently associated with Hollywood, setting the mould for later film music composers. At the same time, he remained faithful to the style of the composers whom he had captivated in his early career. Korngold wrote music for many films, including The Adventures of Robin Hood (1938) and Kings Row (1941), twice receiving an Oscar. However, he did not abandon the classical forms and contexts of symphonic music. In 1945 he completed his Violin Concerto, with Jascha Heifetz performing the solo part. It is undoubtedly one of the most ‘cinematic’ of instrumental concertos, be it only because the composer took numerous themes from his film scores.
