This is great. Hate how the AMadeus movie painted him into a villain, wanting to pander to the masses of Mozart adorers who know nothing else than the Req and Holle Rach anyway.

[ComposerJMA]

@saintsaens21 And of course, nachtmusik, which, when people know it is mozart, they think they are musicologists.

[quico1995]

I extremli love the "Tuba Mirum" of that requiem

I think is better than the Mozart's Requiem

[margariitaZ]

Great, but Mozart erased him from the map till now... We must remember others great composers not only Antonio Salieri.

[dallexandro]

salieri was great, obscured by mozart, anyway great.

[voxhunden]

This Mozart/Salieri soap is utterly pointless. This is not Big Brother, where you get to vote one out.

[Brujje76]

Most or maby all of Salieris operas whent longer in Vienna then Mozarts did, thats what i did read in a book about Mozart

[phiAndpi]

Let me guess some one has just watched the film Amadeus a fictional account of Mozart based upon a play, then post the words "Mediocre" about Salieri work. As if their comment was original well, what is original about a CLICHÉ? This man taught the likes of Beethoven, Schubert and Liszt and many more, that fact alone must mark him out as exceptional. Each year more of his work is recorded and long may it continue.

[totallyclassic411]

I think the word "mediocre" pretty much sums up Salieri's music - let's see... in the repertoire any more? I think not.

[olcorganist]

Don't forget: JS Bach wasn't in the repertory until some 100 years later when Mendelssohn performed the St. Matthew Passion; and even then Bach had to take time to re-establish his obvious genius. Don't be to harsh in judgment of this music just because of some 19th century pinhead critics who didn't think him of the same cilibre as Wagner. It is because of Salieri that Schubert, Beethoven and Liszt wrote the music they did.

By the way: what do you think of Michael Haydn'd Requiem in D minor?

[totallyclassic411]

I happen to love that requiem - it is full of genuine sentiment and a masterful expression of that sentiment. The reason I find Salieri mediocre is because, especially in his operas, the character or sentiment is not internalized - we simply see a shallow expression of the character, whereas with Mozart, Wagner, Beethoven, and Schubert, we know every facet of the psyche of the singer/character. Specifically, in Salieri's requiem, there is a weightiness and stagnation, and the music lacks directi

[Malafede122112]

So if somethings not popular with everybody right now, that's the test? I guess I'll see you over at the Jonas Brothers videos.

[DarkShark190]

This is simply marvelous. Well... Mozart did erased him almost that completely... But my dear Salieri had his revenge.

Sublime.
