Editorial Reviews : Director Milos Forman's rewarding 1984 film adaptation of playwright Peter Shaffer's Tony-winning play won no fewer than 10 Academy Awards (including Best Film, Best Actor, and Best Director); only Wolfgang himself (and his filmic counterpart, Tom Hulce) seemed to get overlooked by the Academy. This expanded three-disc set contains all of Sir Neville Marriner's crisp, accurate readings of the excerpted Mozart symphonies, concertos, serenades, and operas (including marvelous portions of The Abduction of Seraglio, Don Giovanni, and The Magic Flute) used in the film. The success of Amadeus spurred a long-overdue renaissance of interest in classical music, and one would be hard-pressed to find a richer, more concise introduction to the intoxicating music and frustrating bundle of moral contradictions that was Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
Buyer Reviews : Let me start by saaying this soundtrack couldn't get much better. The sound is crisp, clean, and startling. I have listened and played (on piano) Mozart for many years and this soundtrack remains one of my favorites. The selection of music is incredible. The concertos, operas, and symphonies are so brilliantly written, that there should be no doubt in anyones mind that he is a genius. Speaking of doubt, this is out to that ignorant, stupid austrian reviewer who thinks Korn can match up to Mozart, get a life. Mozart could play any instrument and with finesse. If he were alive today he would make fools out of your stupid, talentless bands. Let's see if your bands are still popular two centuries from now? I don't think so, Mozart is around because he had TALENT, (I don't think you would understand what that is so I won't even explain it).
