Korngold was the best movie score composer of all time. There is no argument here. You can try and give one, but you’d be wrong. Korngold reigns supreme.

9:37 Pull on the oars! Freedom is yours! Strike for the shores of Dover! Over the sea, Hearty & free, Troubles will soon be over - Sing as you row! Here we go - For we know that we row For home, sweet home ... Pull on the oars! Freedom is yours! Strike for the shores of Dover! Over the sea, Hearty and free, Troubles will soon be over - Here we go - For we know that we row for Home! Sailing for Home! Home!

Korngold was truly "Das Lichte Wunderkind" (the last prodigy). He was the master of chromaticism first introduced by Bela Bartok. Both were way before their time and both composers received negative reception. Bartok's first opera was rejected in 1911. But Korngold received even worse treatment in 1917 with the performance of his first work which he later used many parts for the first movie in the US. He later received much well deserved acclaim. Very enjoyable--thanks!

FOR SOME REASON THEY NEVER PUT THIS FORWARD FOR AN ACADEMY AWARD, BUT IT WAS VOTED BY CINEMAGOERS AS THE BEST FILM MUSIC OF THE YEAR

Anything by Korngold is superb! The guy wrote the book on film themes.

Beautiful and exciting. Yes, Korngold was the best at Warner Bros. What luck they had !

Totally Awesome! The music is the voice of any film and oh boy did Korngold have a lot to say!

Sublime score from Korngold the master musical story teller

"Spain is an old country with a very rich culture. In fact, there is much in Spain that we English could profit by." - "We'll we're certainly doing the best we can!"

A Masterpiece of Korngold, a real Master-Composer! And the way how his wonderful music fits to the movie, to Errol Flynn - unbeatable!

That's what you call a fanfare opening Brilliant

Such a great piece of Music, A masterpiece.

Rachel Andelman Robin Hood is a better movie and I love that score as well but I think the sea hawk score is a tad more brilliant, a grand mix of Strauss, Mahler, and the late expressionist German idiom, and epitomizing the “Hollywood performance” style of the era. I’m a classical musician and I studied with a principal performer from the Hollywood orchestra scene in the 1950s, so I got many stories about this golden era, not to mention his lush, romantic, “Hollywood” style of playing (lots of vibrato, slides everywhere, always passionate, always intense”).

Korngold (I'm told) wrote this score in 3 weeks!!!! I know he was a prodigy, but that's close to the physical limits of possibility. I still prefer 'Adventures of Robin Hood', because that was a once in a life-time combination of film and score, but 'The Sea Hawk' allows Korngold to develop a more focused and 'single-time-period' sound. The score is truly brilliant and thrilling and the love theme is my single favourite of any score.

@@TheStockwell Korngold had about three weeks to score *Captain Blood,* which is probably what the original poster was thinking of. And the timetable was so tight that he had to use excerpts from Franz Liszt to fill out the score, which is why he doesn't have a composer credit on that film. He's listed as "musical arrangements by" at his own request.

Another exceptional recording of The Sea Hawk music was made by James DePriest conducting the Oregon Symphony on Delos. It has some touching rubato and let's us hear the lucious harmonies. Brilliantly energetic. I was floored the first time I heard this music, bringing to life those great movie palaces. The CD includes the late Symphony in F#. Korngold was a marvel. Thank you for making this available.

Right behind Robin Hood is this score for Errol. The trumpets and harp rule! What if Flynn died suddenly (like James Dean) after 1940? We would have been left with Flynn's best. Would not have suffered through Istanbul, Mara Maru or Crossed Swords.

Yeah, Basil Rathbone was offered the role of Lord Wolfingham but he turned it down because he felt he was starting to get Typecast, Olivia de Havilland was also offered the part of Dona Maria but she turned it down because she'd gotten tired of Swashbucklers. So Henry Daniell and Brenda Marshall got the roles respectively.
