The 'Viennese Violinist' Johannes Fleischmann gives heartfelt and deeply insightful interpretations of the music of Erich Korngold and Eric Zeisl, Viennese composers who escaped the rise of Nazism by journeying to America shortly before the Second World War. Once there, both composers adapted their talents to the world of Hollywood, becoming defining voices in the golden age of Hollywood movie scores. 2020 marks the 70th anniversary of the premiere of the 'Brandeis' Sonata by Eric Zeisl, heard on this release alongside Korngold's Violin Sonata. Johannes Fleischmann is joined on this album by pianist Magda Amara and, for Korngold's song 'Schneeglöckchen', by baritone Günter Haumer.
