[DieHerrenDracula]

Eine sauerei das die Mozarts DEUTSCHSPRACHIGEN!!!!!!!! Opern nicht in DEUTSCH singen!!!!!!! Ansonsten einer der schönsten Filme

[HoneyBuney2000]

[8Goldie]

[FireAntCoffee]

[cespedeh]

@FireAntCoffee I love that line from the Emperor in the movie!

[XoxSkittlesChickXox]

My favorite finale by him. <3 :)

Beautiful up beat melody!

[udayanchandra]

"Your majesty, you choose the language, it will be my task to set it to the finest music, ever offered a monarch." Mozart. Here is the little master taking Vienna, the city of musicians by storm & firmly establishing himself as the golden boy of Viennese Music. This Mozart Unleashed ! with bold & brilliant music overflowing with enthusiasm & glowing confidence, all lit up by that Promethean divine spark.

@udayanchandra CHRIST, YOUR LAME.YAWN.....

[Deathawaitsnoone]

Too many notes :3

[AdmiralBunBuN]

@Deathawaitsnoone

Well, there it is :3

[NoirOrchestre]

If only half of the operas in this movie weren't sing in english...what a ridiculous non-sens

[hardoise]

magnifique! Viva Mozart

[fIugasche]

Has someone the text?

[devilxhlywood]

@fIugasche

Bassa Selim lebe lange

Ehre sei sein Eigenthum!

Seine holde Scheitel prange

Voll von Jubel, voll von Ruhm

[fIugasche]

@devilxhlywood Thanks, but I already knew the original German version. I am looking for the English text that is sung in the video.

[dago0109]

@fIugasche Goes like this:

*Pasha Selim may he live forever, forever. May he live for ever, honor to his regal name, honor to his reagal name.* **May his noble brow emblazon glory, fortune, joy and fame; glory, fortune, joy and fame. Pasha Selim live forever, honor to his regal name.** Repeat **...** Repeat *...* Repeat **...**

ENJOY!!!

[SilenceTheQuiet]

I wish my family understood that they did actually write songs in GERMAN and other languages!! They're all like, "what are they saying? Why do you listen to something you can't understand? Whats wrong with their voices?" OMG I love this song!! It's a really good movie too:) (Music appreciation, people! Come on!!):)

[mozartsmusicblog]

-Well! Herr Mozart! A good effort. Oh well, decidedly that! An excellent effort! You have shown us something quite new tonight.

-It is new! It is isn't it sire?

-Yes indeed!

-So then you liked it? You, you really liked it sire?

-Well of course I did! It's very good! Of course now and then, just now and then it, it seemed a touch ah

-What do you mean sire?

-Well I mean ah, occasionally it seems to have ah oh how shall one say? Um...how shall one say Direktor?

-Too many notes your Majesty?

[dylanloose]

Lyrics?

[hranzieg]

And they have the nerve to call rap music! the 18th/19th centuries were definitely the epiphany of music.

[fireoutlaw23]

too many notes ; )

[BlitzMoonlight09]

My God! I cannot stop listening to this!

[Nanakiismyhusband]

I absolutely adore this finale - in German.It sounds amazing in English, but so much better in German, of course.

Mozart really was a genius - his music truely is inspirational!

[AmericanEvita]

This is sung in English. I've always wondered why in the movie, they sang this opera (Abduction From The Seraglio) in English while they sang Figaro and Don Giovanni in Italian. The arias in Magic Flute were also sung in English. It's just odd to me that they didn't have them sing Seraglio and Magic Flute in the original German language that was written for them.

[kragary]

@AmericanEvita I think the idea is that in the movie English=German, so everything that the characters would have heard in their mother's tongue (e.g. conversations) are in English, and everything that would have been foreign language to them is left as it is, so that it's still foreign to most audiences.

[igorvragovic]

Compare to another good example of classical "Turkish" music: Soliman II - Finale writen by Joseph Martin Kraus (1756-1792).

[fadeout1234567]

respect from turkey (:

[u805]

When you watch this scene int he movie is the actor playing Mozart directing correctly? It doesn't look like he is.

[lulururu33]

@u805 I think he doesn't direct correctly but it might not be his role... All the musicians probably perfectly knew their partition so the composer was only here to show himself to the emperor, to "theatralize" himself

[tozudo2008]

I love Mozart:)

[Kemalistin1923]

i dont understand this video

[Beatlegirl09]

Ohh this is genious I love it when I see this scene in Amadeus :)

[Classicalguy12]

Question: Was any of the music in this movie recorded live (in the film), or were all the instruments silent?

[AdaCordella]

I think not. All musical instruments are models :-)

[Classicalguy12]

Okay thanks. I've always wondered about that. I thought they were all silent/models. But then again I also used to think that it wouldn't be that hard for them to find musicians where they were filming this either...lol.

Thank you and nice clip. :)

[MsSolkongen]

@Classicalguy12 True. They prerecorded all the music and had the actors inact the concerts and operas. They only had a tiny earpiece to guide them. Tom Hulce (Mozart) would sit for hours in his hotel room and practice the piano so that he could play in according pace with the music that sounded through his ear piece.

[Classicalguy12]

@MsSolkongen okay thanks, thats what I thought. Makes sense..lol.

[ILLIMANIPRODUCTIONS]

MY TOP FAVORITE!!

[alfonso1clarinet]

you just have to love how the piccolo stands out of the orchestra at the end!

[TheViolainelb]

Très belle interprétation !

[DDBartoli]

Glorious! This is how you bring down a curtain.

[Beatlegirl09]

@DDBartoli So right :)

[bitkar1]

[12CARPATHIA]
