The Genius of Mozart

Description:

A gem from the BBC, "The Genius of Mozart" is an enlightening and enveloping reconstruction of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's (1756--1791) life. Masterfully written and directed, this three-episode UK TV mini-series became an instant hit when aired in March of 2004, so much so as to inspire the equivalent to be made of Ludwig Van Beethoven's life (a three-part series simply called "Beethoven", which I have also uploaded).

"The Genius of Mozart" constitutes a powerful retelling of Mozart's life, beginning with his childhood as a travelling musical prodigy and ending with his tragic death at the tender age of 35. Every aspect of the film has been given thorough thought, so as to ensure an accurate historical reconstruction. Inspirational performances from the main actors and actresses foster captivation, while regular narrative interjections from the popular composer and conductor Charles Hazlewood brings an insightful, educational dimension. You will enjoy!
