Stefan Zweig Trio (Ars Produktion)
A performance of Korngold's Violin Concerto and Bernstein's Serenade after Plato's 'Symposium'
Written around nine years apart in mid-20th- century USA, these concertos complement one another surprisingly well. Both composers of Jewish immigrant heritage – though very contrasting ones – each had a strongly individual voice and refused to compromise amid changing fashions.
