Émigré composers in the 1930s, including Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Franz Waxman, and Miklós Rózsa, established the 'Hollywood' film music style that influenced later composers like John Williams.
Historical Context
The course of film and classical music after 1940 was shaped by talented exiles who settled in Southern California to escape persecution from the Third Reich.
Performer Biography
Ensemble for These Times (E4TT), consisting of Nanette McGuinness, Abigail Monroe, and Margaret Halbig, won The American Prize in 2021 for Chamber Music Performance.
Recording & Production
The album includes individual movements from more pieces rather than fewer but longer complete works, to provide a glimpse of the composers' often-forgotten music.
Album & Artwork
This album, 'Émigrés & Exiles in Hollywood,' is the result of Ensemble for These Times's multi-year exploration of émigré composers.
