Some years ago my wife and I went to see the first concert our eldest cellist granddaughter Alana played in with the Northampton Junior Youth Orchestra. I expected to see and hear a lot of hopeful kids scraping away on their instruments, I was knocked out and enthralled when they opened with this piece, wonderfully and expertly performed. We never missed a performance since then.
Erich Wolfgang Korngold - Austrian child prodigy - came to Hollywood with the rise of Hitler. 1938 - 2nd Oscar for Best Score - The Adventures of Robin Hood.
