Korngold/Schmidt: Music for Strings and Piano Left Hand has all the ingredients of a certain classic. Containing the only recorded performance of famed film composer E.W. Korngold's "Suite Op.23", Korngold/Schmidt contains a series of very rare "left-hand" chamber works that represent gems of the genre, and in this inspired coupling offer a unique look at the works of these two late-Romantic Austrian composers in world-class performances. The album sports a stellar line-up of award-winning chamber musicians, including the world's best-selling cellist Yo-Yo Ma, master violinist Jaime Laredo, and renowned pianist Leon Fleisher; this is truly chamber music as it was meant to be performed: by great musicians who have collaborated as friends and colleagues for decades, as an expression of joy.
