Rumon GambaAbout
In 1933, after Hitler’s rise to power, Spoliansky left his adopted Germany and emigrated to London, where he began a second career as a film composer. He was commissioned by film-maker Alexander Korda of London Films to writer the scores for Sander of the River (1935), which won the prize for Best Music at the Venice Film Festival, and The Ghost Goes West (1935). He went on to score over 50 movies in his 40 years as a composer in England.
‘I’m very happy to have finally recorded a disc of the film music of Mischa Spoliansky. An admirer of his ‘cabaret’, songs, it has been a pleasure to dig deeper into his scores for such well known films as North West Frontier, Sanders of the River and King Solomon’s Mines. Something a little unusual this time as well – a new suite for Bass voice and Orchestra: Five Robeson Songs – songs written for Paul Robeson, the star of two of the films featured on the disc.’ - Rumon Gamba
