The Korngold Collection is a concert and recording project celebrating the Pacifica Quartet's 30th anniversary (1994-2024). This offering presents the complete string quartets of Erich Wolfgang Korngold, taking listeners on a unique musical journey through his development as a composer, from his earliest years in Vienna as a burgeoning teenage prodigy to his assured and mature style in Hollywood as a distinguished film composer. In addition to Korngold’s three string quartets, written between 1923-1945, this project also features his kaleidoscopic String Sextet (1914) and ravishingly beautiful Piano Quintet (1920), in collaboration with regular chamber music partners the likes of Orion Weiss, award winning pianist as well as internationally recognized guest colleagues.
