About

Making Korngold out of Strauss: world premiere recording of Das Lied der Liebe ("The Song of Love") with the Musikalische Komödie Leipzig under the direction of Stefan Klingele.

Although it was unimaginable for Korngold ever to adapt an original work, it just happened. His standpoint was: "Actually I am an enemy of all adaptations". As a conductor, he was given the task of arranging Johann Strauss's operetta Das Spitzentuch der Königin ("The Queen's Lace Handkerchief") for a Viennese performance. He polished up the instrumentation of the vocal numbers to suit the taste of the audience, incorporated lively melodies from other works, embedded well-known waltzes, and thus turned the Strauss arrangement into a genuine work of Korngold.
