Pritchard’s concerto is based on paintings by Hughie O’Donoghue depicting the seven locations where Allied and German forces endured one of the bloodiest battles of the First World War. Korngold, who attended Mahler’s rehearsals as a child and whom Mahler referred to as a “musical genius,” refused to write concert music while Hitler was in power. After the war, he composed his violin concerto and his only symphony, a celebration of peace and hope for the future, which he dedicated to President Franklin D. Roosevelt.
