Krenek, Korngold and Weill: An Operatic Battle 1927-1928
Sunday 16.04.2023
Summary
Patric Bade discusses the cultural musical battle that took place in Germany and Austria between 1927 and 1928 between Erich Korngold, Ernst Krenek, and Kurt Weill. It was a pivotal moment, a moment of change from a type of modernism that was still tinged with the luscious, late romanticism of Mahler and Strauss, and a move toward a much tougher, grittier, more aesthetic type of modernism.
