Marian Schedenig 8,193 Posted March 20, 2020 Share Posted March 20, 2020 Ah, original recordings then. Considering Korngold was probably the most prolific film composer in his time and also the first to be rediscovered and "redeemed" in both film and general music circles, it's really surprising and distressing that so many of his original recordings are still waiting for properly restored releases.

Indeed. It's especially surprising that we don't yet have a release of the original recording for Robin, which was already done work on when it was included as an isolated score on the DVD in the early 2000s. I guess Tsunami's last Korngold release and FSM's release of Kings Row and The Sea Wolf are the only releases that can be called properly restored.

I saw Schwabenkinder on TV at some point in the early 2000s. I liked the score then and put it on my Amazon wish list - it's been one of my earliest items on the list since then. I didn't remember much except that it featured a choir, but it had a series of price drops recently, so I picked it up. It's got some lovely melodies, rather Morricone style (think Legend of 1900), but it's all rather simple. Mostly melodies and string chords, with some sound effects in some tracks. For something that takes its choir hints and lyrics from liturgy (it has Benedictus, Agnus Dei, Sanctus, and Kyrie - in that order, curiously), the vocal writing is surprisingly homophonic (again, melodies with chords), and the notable vibrato of the choir and soloists is somewhat at odds with the etheral atmosphere the score generally goes for. And as a choir singer, I'm seriously annoyed by how Schneider changes the rhythm of the Latin word "pecata" to make it fit his melody. In his liner notes Schneider mentions that the film was temp tracked with Angela's Ashes plus Albinoni and Gounoud, and that they made a conscious decision to go for a distinct Morricone sound. He mentions being influenced by Bach, which seems at odds with the homophonic character, but he then adds that they subsequently reduced and simplified the music, and that the simple themes were deliberate. Still, while I suppose the whole things sounds nice enough, it doesn't really seem to hold much interested when divorced from the film.
