Five hours of wonderful music, beautifully played.  For those unfamiliar
with Korngold, his dates are 1897-1957, which means, incredible as it
sounds, some of these pieces were written when he eleven years old.
Brendan Carroll's statement in the accompanying booklet "(He) was one
of the greatest composing child prodigies in history," seems almost an
understatement.  Equally amazing, the only piano lessons he ever had
were a few from a needy relative when he was five years old.  Amazing!!!!
