    A monumental score of overwhelming emotional impact -- I cannot hear it without feeling tears in my eyes.

    Excellent music to a wonderful classic film that has surely stood the test of time. 1942, " Kings Row." Beautifully done. Thank you Mr. korngold. This movie has become one of my many favorites during Hollywood's Golden age.

    Bloody gorgeous. In the last decade Korngold has risen to something like the status he deserves. Unfashionable does not mean you are a bad composer. K may write in the style of the 19th C - but it is glorious stuff and it swells my heart to hear it. If any classical music snobs happen by - be prepared to have your balls handed to you. I will defend K and his magic to my grave.

      Korngold is the greatest composer to ever live. Makes sense that he's not very well known, considering most people dont have the capacity to comprehend such hyperromanticism.

      K's music puts one in another world, a better world, Driving across deserts of California, Nevada, Arizona, Korngolds music fits, is so very "right".

    hearing all 45 minutes of this makes sense of Korngold retiring from film scoring in 1947. he wanted to get back to his roots. what an incredible genius.

    Exceptional, emotional, beautiful...the glorious feeling of the complete immersion into this man's music is indescribable. Thank you and best wishes from Belgium.

    I love the whole of the score which, in this edition, is like a gigantic symphonic poem! However, some "highlights" for me between 14:35 - 17:14 and 18:49 - 21:20....

      Dear Max: After several listenings, I'm now on board with you: I do think this is Korngold's finest film score---for depth, variety, tenderness. It seems less "driven" and "scripted" (than his other scores) by historical themes and closer to the human heart.

      Indeed!!!

      I totally agree, it's like symphonic poem.

    Thanks for Part 2. It's wonderful to wallow in Korngold's exquisite orchestral colorings. I can't think of a composer, save Puccini, that captured the hues and timbres of the full orchestra any better. Strauss? Meh! A tune spinner with lush arrangements. His father was a horn player in orchestras. Need I say more. I'll stop being snarky. Thank you Rodders.

      The full score was created by the masterful Hugo Friedhofer from the composer's detailed written & spoken directions; the two consulted closely with one another during the entire process, and the result, as with all EWK films, is one of the most memorable products of Hollywood's 'golden age.'

      If you can’t think of another composer as you describe I’ll remind you of one, Ottorino Respighi. . 😁

    I have a selection of 'only' 7 on a CD. Haven't seen the movie. Lots of catching up to do! Wonderful soundtrack!

    Somehow it reminds me of the slow part of Sibelius' Finlandia

      Yes the tune at the beginning is almost exactly like the Finlandia hymn

    I guess only Howard Shore today is of the calibre of the “golden age” greats, Korngold, Hermann, Steiner, Rozsa, Waxman etc
