…his finest true orchestral masterpiece was the Sinfonietta, a symphony in all but name… completed when Korngold was still just 15. Here the combination of Bamert's supple shaping of the music, the BBC Philharmonic's opulent playing and Chandos's lustrous sound make for an experience that is both indulgent and satisfying...Bamert’s performances of both works are beautiful, sensitive and sympathetic, never overstated but always fullblooded.
1st December 2014
The Sinfonietta in B major was one of Korngold's first large-scale orchestral works, and already shows his absolute command of orchestration and amazing gift for melody. It is given a sweeping performance here by the BBC Philharmonic conducted by Matthias Bamert.
