Born in Brünn, Moravia (now Brno, Czech Republic) on 29 May 1897, the second son of music critic Julius Korngold, he impressed Mahler with his cantata Gold when only nine and went on to consolidate this with a score for the ballet-pantomime Der Schneeman, premiered at the Vienna Court opera in 1910.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eNumerous orchestral, chamber and operatic works followed – including such ambitious pieces such as the Schauspiel-Ouvertüre (1911), the Sinfonietta (1912), and an operatic double-bill that comprised Der Ring des Polykrates (1914) and Violanta (1915) – culminating with the dual premiere (in Hamburg and Cologne) of his opera Die tote Stadt (1920) which made him world famous at the age of only 23.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHowever, the success of his next opera – the highly ambitious Das Wunder der Heliane (1927) was to be blighted by the deteriorating political situation, while his last opera Die Kathrin (1938) could not even be heard in Vienna on account of Austria’s Anschluss with Germany.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eHelsinki Philharmonic Orchestra\u003c\/strong\u003e\r\n\u003cstrong\u003eJohn Storgårds, Conductor \u003c\/strong\u003e","brand":"2xHD-Ondine","offers":[{"title":"DSD 64 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739040690500,"sku":"813543020509-14","price":23.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 192 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739040723268,"sku":"813543020509-6","price":20.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"FLAC 96 kHz \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":56739040756036,"sku":"813543020509-7","price":19.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true},{"title":"DSD 128 \/ 2ch Stereo","offer_id":57308857336132,"sku":"813543020509-15","price":25.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0966\/7900\/2436\/files\/813543020509-1.jpg?v=1790475305","url":"https:\/\/www.nativedsd.com\/products\/813543020509-korngold-much-ado-about-nothing-sinfonietta","provider":"NativeDSD Music","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
