Exile To Hollywood

Isabelle Durin & Michaël Ertzscheid

Exile To Hollywood explores the Golden Age of film music through the fate of European composers forced into exile who went on to shape the Hollywood sound. Isabelle Durin and Michael Ertzscheid bring this symphonic tradition to life, here subtly transposed for violin and piano, where post-Romantic heritage meets jazz and American modernity. From Korngold to Steiner, from Waxman to Rózsa, the album celebrates a music of freedom, cross-cultural exchange, and resilience. A vibrant journey into the heart of the Golden Age, where exile becomes a powerful source of creativity and brilliance.
