In Search of Mozart - Music & Film History Livestream
·OnlineOnlineIn Search of Mozart - Music & Film History Livestream Hosted by Robert Kelleman
Let’s meetup and celebrate Mozart’s 270th birthday (January 27, 1756) with a two-part music history program.
Part 1 will be a full screening of the excellent documentary In Search of Mozart, 2006.
Part 2 will be a full screening of the iconic film Amadeus, 1984, with Tom Hulce in the title role.The two films will be shown separately, at different times, but with the same Zoom link, join us for either or both.
During and after the program you’re invited to discuss the films with your fellow music lovers via Zoom.In Search of Mozart - Documentary
An unmissable biography narrated by Juliet Stevenson and featuring interviews and performances with over 70 of the greatest exponents of Mozart’s music. A valuable addition to any music lovers education.
Produced in association with the world’s leading orchestras, opera houses and musicians. Told through a 25,000 mile journey along every route Mozart followed; IN SEARCH OF MOZART is a detective story that travels to the heart of old Europe… and the heart of genius itself.
The most comprehensive and illuminating film about Mozart that you are likely to see... A remarkable achievement... Strikingly original... The result is gloriously entertaining as well as revelatory. One reason for that is Grabsky's camerawork. I know far too little about cinematic techniques to explain how he does it - but somehow, by focusing so closely on face and fingers, he manages to convey the intensity of the musical experience more grippingly than anything I have seen on film or television... --The Times
No more important, or beautifully filmed documentary about Mozart's life and music has emerged than Phil Grabsky's 'In Search of Mozart' ... What emerges is a far more accurate, complete and endearingly human portrait of Mozart than any documentary has ever painted. If all you know of him are the glossy lies disseminated by Amadeus, don't miss In Search of Mozart. It's a must see for tyros and cognoscenti alike... --Chicago TribuneFilm Trailer
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=35FXTojOtswWolfgang Amadeus Mozart (27 January 1756 – 5 December 1791) was a prolific and influential composer of the Classical period. Despite his short life, his rapid pace of composition and proficiency from an early age resulted in more than 800 works representing virtually every Western classical genre of his time. Many of these compositions are acknowledged as pinnacles of the symphonic, concertante, chamber, opera, and choral repertoires. Mozart is widely regarded as one of the greatest composers in the history of Western music, with his music admired for its "melodic beauty, its formal elegance and its richness of harmony and texture".
Born in Salzburg, Mozart showed prodigious ability from his earliest childhood. At age five, he was already competent on keyboard and violin, had begun to compose, and performed before European royalty. His father, Leopold Mozart, took him on a grand tour of Europe and then three trips to Italy. At 17, he was a musician at the Salzburg court but grew restless and travelled in search of a better position. Mozart's fruitless journey in search of employment led him to Paris, Mannheim, Munich, and eventually back to Salzburg. He died at the age of 35.***
