Wolfgang A. Mozart / 1991

When rumors spread about a "child prodigy" among the Mozarts in Salzburg, the archbishop orders an investigation in which the seven-year-old Wolfgang has to demonstrate his talent before a committee of scholars. Soon afterwards, Leopold Mozart and his son are traveling all over Europe to play for patrons and admirers. The new Archbishop of Salzburg, Count Colloredo, is not very enthusiastic about Mozart and dismisses him. Mozart marries Constanze Weber, settles in Vienna and has his first successes, earning him commissions and the goodwill of Josef II. In the last years of his life, his situation worsens; Mozart runs into financial difficulties and health problems, but still works incessantly.

Sounds Magnificent: The Story of the Symphony - Haydn & Mozart / 1984

This program is part of the acclaimed Sounds Magnificent series, showcasing some of the great works in Western classical music. Andre Previn acts both as conductor of the Royal Philharmonic Orchestra and host of the show, which explores the lives and times of the composers, as well as featuring selections from their works. This episode presents renditions of Haydn's Symphony 87 and Mozart's Symphony 39.

Mozart Symphonies Vol. II - Nos. 1,25,31,36,38 and "Eine Kleine Nachtmusik" / 1978

In the 1960s Karl Böhm (1894–1981) had made his mark as interpreter of Mozart with the the Berlin Philharmonic. Yet his recordings with the Vienna Symphony demonstrate a mutual sympathy and deep love for this timeless music. The musicians are razor-sharp in attack, harmony, and release. Böhm's style is minimalist: a firm downbeat, a ruffled hand here and there, a slight sway, no mugging. Occasionally, when quite excited, he gives a little hop but immediately pulls himself on a tight leash.

The Mozart Inquest / 1986

Mozart's death is surrounded by mystery. 200 years later, an inquest examines the original and new evidence.

Mozart Werke Ges.m.b.H. / 2006

Together with the ensemble of the Vienna Burgtheater, led by Kirsten Dene and Gusti Wolf, Franz Wittenbrink accounts in a wonderfully funny way with art and commerce in times of Mozart mania.

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart Requiem d-Moll, KV 626 Genia Kuhmeier (Sopran) Elisabeth Kulman (Mezzo-Sopran) Mark Padmore (Tenor) Adam Plachetka (Bass-Bariton)

Mozart in Love / 1975

An irreverent take on Mozart's relations with the three Weber sisters: Louisa, whom he loved, but who didn't love him; Constanza, whom he loved and married; and Sophie, who loved him but whom he didn't love. An anthology of arias from Mozart's operas, in which art comments on life through a cheeky use of back-projection and miming to records.

Mozart: Le Nozze di Figaro / 2006

David McVicar's spellbinding production of LE NOZZE DI FIGARO is set in 1830s post-revolution France, where the inexorable unravelling of an old order has produced acute feelings of loss. In the relationship between Finley's suave, dashingly self-absorbed Count and Röschmann's passionately dignified Countess, which lies at the tragic heart of the opera, the sexy ease between a feisty Figaro (Erwin Schrott) and a sassy Susanna (Miah Persson) is starkly absent, the tenacious spark between Marcellina (Graciela Araya) and Bartolo (Jonathan Veira) suggesting what might be rekindled. The production is superbly complemented by the beauty of Paule Constable's lighting and Tanya McCallin's evocative sets. Antonio Pappano conducts (and accompanies the recitatives) with invigorating wit and emotional depth.

Mozart Requiem / 1991

You will find this Requiem the finest on video. It certainly outshines Bohm's dated approach, and Bernstein's lethargically slow performance. (No disrespect to them, I enjoy them but this is better :) It also gives us a superb opportunity to view Solti at work, and I wonder why don't have more of his performances on video. One may also enjoy seeing (and hearing) Rene Pape at only 27 years old, likewise Cecilia Bartoli in her young prime.

Mozart: Don Giovanni / 2008

A striking interpretation of Mozart's opera that became a sensation at the 2008 Salzburg Festival. This is not only a rethinking of the place and time of the opera, but also a deep disclosure of the characters' characters, their ambiguous inner world. A simple, at first glance, plot is turned by the creators of the play into a dynamic psychological thriller.

Mozart: Requiem KV 626 – Chor und Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks, Mariss Jansons / 2017

Le Mozart Noir: Reviving a Legend / 2003

Le Chevalier de Saint-Georges overcame class and race prejudices in 18th century France to become a musical genius who would inspire Mozart.

Gulda: Mozart Piano Concertos Nos. 20 & 26 / 1986

Mozart: Fantasia, K 397; Sonata, K 333, K 576 / 1995

Gulda's mastery of the classical repertoire is demonstrated as he plays a programme of compositions by Mozart, including, among others, the sonatas K 333 and K 576 and the FANTASIA K 397.

Baby Mozart / 1998

BABY MOZART is an introduction to Mozart's beautiful music which has been proven to have positive affects on people of all ages, especially babies. Images of brightly colored toys and known objects aid in the audio presentation of child-friendly arrangements and sound effects. Designed for infants between the ages of approximately one and 36 months.

Mozart Great Mass in C Minor; Ave Verum Corpus; Exsultate Jubilate / 2006

This performance of Mozart's Great Mass in C minor, which remained an unfinished torso, is reverent and highly dramatic. It was filmed 4-6 April 1990 in the beautiful Baroque Basilica of Waldsassen in Bavaria: a few kilometers from the Czech border. It was filmed just a few months after the Iron Curtain had fallen, a mere 6 months before Bernstein's death on 14 October 1990. His painful, labored breathing is evident during this performance. It is a sad reminder of what is to come and it makes this performance, so other-worldly in many ways, particularly poignant. Bernstein conducts the splendid Chor und Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks.

Mozarts Leben, Lieben und Leiden / 1921

The happy and miserable life of Mozart has always of artistic interest for silent film directors. Such an example is "Mozarts Leben, Lieben Und Leiden" (1921) by Otto Kreisler (the first silent length feature depicting the loves and sufferings of the famous Salzburg composing genius).
