A sumptuous array of Korngold's orchestral and vocal music, featuring world-premiere recordings exquisitely performed by the Bruckner Orchestra Linz

Following their acclaimed first two volumes of Korngold's lush orchestral works, Caspar Richter and the Bruckner Orchestra continue their exploration of his music with Much Ado About Nothing, heard alongside two enchanting song cycles and the world-premiere recordings of Prayer, Op.32 and Tomorrow.
Tomorrow was written for the 1942 film The Constant Nymph, starring Charles Boyer and Joan Fontaine and based on the novel by Margaret Kennedy. Richly scored for mezzo soprano, female voices and orchestra, this is a heady and contagious work given a rapturous performance by Gigi Mitchell-Velasco, whose voice is equally at home in the more intimate and dark-hued song cycles.
