Abstract
The article focuses on concert music composed by notable Hollywood "Golden Age" film composers, highlighting works performed by piano and violin rather than their film scores. It discusses pieces by Erich Korngold, Franz Waxman, Robert Russell Bennett, Heinz Roemheld, Jerome Moross, Bernard Herrmann, and Miklós Rózsa, emphasizing their contributions to concert repertoire alongside their film careers. The compositions range from romantic suites and playful childhood scenes to jazzy studies and folk-inspired variations, showcasing diverse styles and influences. Performances by Patrick Savage (violin) and Martin Cousin (piano) are praised for their technical skill and sound quality, with additional composer backgrounds provided in the accompanying booklet.
