Oxford Chamber Music Festival - Wunderkinder

Korngold was perhaps the most prodigious of child prodigies, his High-Romantic music played by great players across Europe before he was 15 years old. Schubert’s adolescent ‘ouverture’ lay unpublished for nearly 140 years, but its storminess already reveals his true voice. Brahms was famously hailed as “a young eagle” by his mentor Schumann, whose childhood scenes are beloved of generations of young pianists.
