From Hollywood pioneer Korngold via Star Wars maestro Williams to the Russian romantic Rachmaninoff: Here, three composers meet who all mastered the art of creating powerful emotions through music.
Williams' recent piano concerto, premiered in 2025, was described by soloist Emanuel Ax as one of the most difficult works he has ever performed. Rachmaninoff's final major work, Symphonic Dances, is a melancholic farewell to the homeland he was forced to flee. Korngold's overture to the film The Sea Hawk shows why he is regarded as the father of film music.
