Editor's Info
Peter Erskine and Vienna's JAM Music Lab All-Stars celebrate the music of two iconic Viennese composers who, after moving to Hollywood in 1929 & 1934, transformed the dynamics of film as they set the standards for movie scoring. Through their work on Gone With the Wind, King Kong, and many dozens more, their role in shaping popular culture since is legion.

Erskine's inimitable touch with brushes underscores the gentle piano trio number "Sterbelied," a melancholy requiem that also showcases Grissett's lyricism, and fuels an easy swinging rendition of Korngold's "The Boys Go Out to Play" that features L.A. session man Bob Sheppard on a flute solo.
The most recognizable song here is Steiner's "A Summer Place," from of a 1959 film of the same name. The two Korngold classical pieces showcasing a string quartet and the haunting "Ghost Note," a solo violin.......
