Composer of the Week - Miklos Rozsa (1907-1995) and Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957) - Hooray for Hollywoodland

Miklos Rozsa (1907-1995) and Erich Wolfgang Korngold (1897-1957) Donald Macleod explores the music of two composers who provided the soundtrack to Hollywood's Golden Age. 2/5. Hooray for Hollywoodland The financial desolation of the late 1920s and 30s forced Rozsa to keep the wolf from the door by writing fanfares for Pathe newsreels, while Korngold turned to arrangements of Viennese operetta. Fateful diversions both, as they marked the beginning of an unlikely but rewarding journey to the bright lights of Beverly Hills.
