Anyone like the music of Korngold?

I was impressed by the slow movement of his symphony, yesterday. He wrote many Hollywood swashbuckler scores. A critic of the time described it as "more Corn than Gold".

I love his opera “Die Tote Stadt” (“The Dead City”).

@alan20 I already found some of his work on Apple Music, but I haven't had the time to give it a listen yet.

@helenS Tchaikovsky described Parsifal as attending a never-ending religious service. And he wouldn't have been jealous about the nice girls.

@alan20 "One might say that where Religion becomes artificial, it is reserved for Art to save the spirit of religion by recognising the figurative value of the mythic symbols which the former would have us believe in their literal sense, and revealing their deep and hidden truth through an ideal presentation." (R. Wagner, "Art and Religion").
