The Countess forgives her husband

[whatevr192]

I didn't like the version of Ah Tutti Contenti in this movie, it was too fast...

[whatevr192]

I enjoy living in 2012...

[proteq31]

Simply miraculous.

[yamiko193]

PS- Salieri and Mozart were actually friends!

[knight10666]

the only reason the emperor yawned was because he was going through the same problem as the count (jk)

[MateiAlexandruBogdan]

The emperor was deaf. He shot one too many force lightning strikes.... affected his ears.

[TimeWithinTime]

The shot of Salieri in the balcony at 0:55 is one of the most impactful images in cinema.

[IlCannone1743]

Leopold is alive again at 2:11!! 

[thedridis]

Stupid azz yawning at such a moment.

[btyremanable]

anyone know what 0.00-0.38 is? it's amazing! and I need to hear the FULL version, as it's driving me crazy in context, regards, BEN

[thedridis]

@btyremanable It's from act 3 of Marriage of Figaro. Do listen to the whole thing. You won't be disappointed.

[buffalo738]

the fourth.. was ASTOUNDING...... beautiful, thank you.....

[elisabethchen]

Although Bach's my favourite composer....I think this particular little piece of music is the most beautiful I've ever heard.....

[elopez4024]

@elisabethchen I can see that...

[GPsgurl80]

the look on salieri's face is so full of overwhelming emotion (only at that moment, mind you) at 0:55 that it makes me emotional everytime i see this film. bellissima!

[cielketje0]

Watch closely at 1:10. The emperor already yawns, so accually he yawned twice :D

[GPsgurl80]

i cry every time i watch this part of the film (and le nozze..). just a swell of emotion in this act of the opera. *le sigh*

[lewars1912]

@DianaBlaga Well said.

[SilenceTheQuiet]

@lewars1912 agreed

[AmericanEvita]

I love Le Nozze Di Figaro. It was my first opera experience, owing a lot to this Figaro in Amadeus. I own the Karl Bohm Figaro from 1968 because the duet btwn Gundula Janowitz & Edith Mathis on there is heard in the 1994 film Shawshank Redemption. The Karl Bohm Figaro movie with Kiri Te Kenawa, Mirella Freni and Dietrich Fischer Dieskau is marvelous and highly recommended. This finale is always great to hear but I never buy that the Count will change his way. Once a dog always a dog sorry.

[The7sins2006]

By far the most Miraculous piece of music written "Contessa Perdono" The music itself so simplistic but the moment the contessa sings, it tears me up everytime. Indescribable beauty! Amazing. This from a 24 year old rapper in cheshire! lol

[buffalo738]

@The7sins2006 Rapper or not.... don't be afraid to listen to music 'from the soul'....

[dabigkahuna777]

I was born in the wrong century

[kataisa3]

@dabigkahuna777 You know what's funny? Mozart himself likely would've said the same thing. His crude behavior and scatalogical humor would fit perfectly in today's society but in 1786 it was universally deplored and hurt his social status.

[buffalo738]

@dabigkahuna777 .... Me too

[moltoallegro19]

@dabigkahuna777 Who wasn't?

[SilenceTheQuiet]

@dabigkahuna777 I couldn't agree more. For me, not for you. I am only fifteen, and I think this music is absolutely beautiful; without a doubt in my mind. Yeah, I don't exactly fit in with my peers:) hahaahahaha. Mozart is like the best composer I have ever heard<3

[AndonElahi]

@dabigkahuna777 me too... (musically anyway)

[49bobbyk]

Contessa perdono is beauty.

[repinshtrad]

God was singing through Mozart here

[HParker001]

Lovely... a pity they didn't make it to the best part.

[xoxpenguinxox]

Ah tutti contenti, saremo cosi- probably one of my favourite pieces of music of all time, never fails to touch me.

I've been extremely lucky to perform this and get a real sense of its beauty.

[49bobbyk]

With Sir Neville Mariner you can't go wrong. Not only is the movie a good story and a first rate production, all of the music is performed brilliantly. This is a truly great motion picture. Even if the history is not accurate at least it gives people access to Motzart in a way that won't bore them quickly. This movie is a great way to introduce people to classical music who otherwise would not come near it.

[darkshines99]

@49bobbyk Agree...this movie really introduced me to Mozart's music and made me fall in love with it

[samman7324]

The writing and acting for this scene is perfect. "God was singing through this little man. To all the world. Unstoppable! Making my defeat more bitter with every passing bar." Marvelous!

[16wkm]

..... alike Angles in the Head of W. Amadeus (God Love) MOZART

[musicallytalented2]

the opera society at my uni put this on for three nights. it was fantastic. utterly amazing! :-)

[thelex001]

The most magical moment in magical film...

[skootaboy1978]

How dare Ed Rooney yawn at Wolfie's Ah Tutti Contenti:

[SlyFox616]

I think "contessa perdono" is one of the most beautiful scenes in all of opera. At least of the ones I've seen. Such great commentary from Salieri as well! Yes. Perfect absolution indeed.

[Elvispersoon]

This music gives me the chills, in a very good way

[ciavattarmy]

Mozart, the voice of god

[MisterClay85]

This is my favorite part of the movie. I always rewind a few times. There is no way I can listen to this and not feel JOY!

[rimskykorsakov08]

too many notes

:P

[Steroid0Strad]

I have this movie; it is called Amadeus

[MrLx49]

When she sings the music all, It"s beyond words almost godly. PLEASE tell of more such beautiful music? ANYONE?

[bookkeeper57]

You're listening to Mozart's score of the third and fourth movements of his opera "The Marriage of Figaro". It's an operatic staple.

[mymymaichun]

one of many favorite scenes from this movie!

i love how the very man tormented by all of this is the only one truly capable of fully appreciating such great work!

[cosawanty]

Absolutle perfection

[Phsycogamer12345]

The song Brought Pure happiness to my heart. ,}

[GrahamGJohnson]

I'd like to meet the writer of this movie. Beautifully done.

[Noutchka]

I think it was originally a play, and they adapted it for the screen.

[BinkyFace]

Actually, @ibook, it's called Ah, Tutti Contenti, meaning "All is Well."

"Contessa Perdono" is what he is asking her, "Please forgive me, Countess."

[lenozzedifigarofan15]

le nozze de figaro was the best opera ever written. and still is today. mozart is the only composer tht could fill a 4 hr opera with the most memorable music of all time and by the way the reactions the count and crowed had in this movie are quite different then the way they actually reacted it was an instant hit

[dolofonos]

@lenozzedifigarofan15

How many operas have you heard?

[lenozzedifigarofan15]

@dolofonos 10 or 11

[P1B1U1H1]

@lenozzedifigarofan15 For me Don Giovanni was his best. Beethoven thought so, but thought, for some reason that it was immoral, and therefore could not be provisioned that designation.

[Zefabou]

too much notes

[ElisabettaVS]

very well put court composer ;))

[Lolo207RC]

@TheManustar : "Les Noces de Figaro" (in French).

[solelover70]

one f the most beautiful opera parts ever written.

Mozart the best of all composers, he makes me tear

[TheManustar]

Please! Who can say me the name of this part?

I know the name to the opera, but I don't know the name to the "song"

Please...Say me the name!

Thank you SO MUCH!

[fercarba1]

ah tutti contenti.4th act.

[dnachmani]

Contessa Perdono

[pianoman1812]

The song is the wedding march from the wedding itself.

[ibook4113]

Mozart - Nozze di Figaro - act IV - "Contessa perdono"

[mozartsmusicblog]

@TheManustar Ah Tutti Contenti

[timedragontheater]

i saw the marrige of figaro opera last night it was fantastic . Amadeus is one of my favourite movies brilliantly done . the play must be great to see to

[ritzb80]

Damn this was hard to find, but I'm sure glad its here. Thanks for posting it.

[ksdaf]

ha, exactly. took me 20 minutes of looking

[pmozartp]

So beautiful...

Amazing opera!

I cry everytime i listen this part...

Thank you Mozart!

[Klosse88]

Best musical part of this movie! Outstanding!

[serRudyll]

Who is the bariton?

[Ludlow889]

@serRudyll Richard Stilwell sings the role of the Count.

[MegaYada]

Another fantastic piece from Herr Mozart! Beyond belief, really!

[ciavattarmy]

mozart is the music

[mousikos9]

Is conducting orchestra historically accurate? It is widely known that in 18. century performance was directed by the first violinist and there was no conducting in modern sense before 19. century.

[baabroma]

I think it is accurate for Opera, not chamber orchestras

[pianoman1812]

That's not true, The composer always conducted whatever it was, now if there was a harpsichord needed or a clavichord or any keyboard instrument, the composer would be seated at the keyboard and the kappelmister would conduct, only for that particular part though.

[Mislavce]

I wouldn't agree. Conducting in its present form was invented during the Era of Romanticism. An older type of conducting (paper roles were used instead of batton) was used in church music, but instrumental music (including operatic performances) was conducted from the keyboard instrument. In opera, a certain way of divison existed: keyboard player (mostly composer himself) concentrated on singers, and konzertmeister directed the orchestra.

[Mislavce]

Mozart makes a clear difference between liturgic and operatic way of conducting in his letters to his sister. I also have a book in which there is an illustration from 18. century showing an operatic performance in Esterhazy's theatre. There is no conductor, just a man playing keyboard instrument. I don't know is it Haydn or not, but the illustration is a clear evidence that the opera was also directed by a player, not a conductor.

[bitkar1]

why Foolish movie next stupid comment is a wonderful film

and this passage is the best

I think that is better to be not

it's so beautiful

Mozart's music is the best

[germanicelt]

his a fantastic piano player.

[germanicelt]

Love this movie.

[GarcioBass4]

Grazie Amadeus

[pacskye]

INCREDIBLE SONG. My favorite song on earth. Bless you Wolfgang, forever.

[krystalxlyte]

salieri's face @ 1:40. priceless! XD

[luisitokevincito]

Have you accepted MOZART lately.

[Libby56]

Ah Tutti Contenti

beautiful

[BassGK]

love that scene!

[LILNICOLEYOUNG007]

love it

[dave0mary]

Just a note for you 'Amadeus' movies fans like me: history has no record at all of Salieri hounding or killing Mozart at all. They were good friends and contemporaries.

[Telmalex]

Contemporaries yes, good friends......not sure....

[TedMichaelMorgan]

The Emperor Joseph II was a much more complex man and much better man that he is in this silly film. The emperor also died young.

[l2p]

Silly, eh? You've got to be kidding.

[Ludlow889]

@TedMichaelMorgan True. He was, by the standards of his time, a rather enlightened and liberal man, with a serious interest in music and the arts. He was, after all, the one who commissioned this great opera (and the two subsequent operatic masterpieces that Mozart wrote with Da Ponte).

[TedMichaelMorgan]

There is some debate about the relationship. Salieri and Mozart were competitors. In areas where they did not compete, Salieri could afford to praise Mozart. David Cairns explores his a bit in his recent book on Mozart;s operas. Mozart was not much like the view of him in this silly movie.

[Telmalex]

Why you say "silly movie"? Of course it doesn't portrait the reality of the facts, but it's one of greatest movies ever done the same, and although it gets a bad image of Salieri, witch is unfair for him, it gives us an image of the geniality of Mozart, even if he wasn't like the portrait in the movie, he was a genius like in the movie.

I have a great respect for history and for the real facts, but i love this movie because it is so wonderful and it makes everybody respect the genius of Mozart

[fernfeyes]

I did read in an encyclopedia where Salieri denied killing Mozart. There must have been some significance for him to be asked/for it to be included in the encyclopedia. It would be interesting to research where the encyclopedia got its info.

[Jitpring]

Google these words:

"Amadeus" and Mozart:

Setting the Record Straight

[akoljrkdsf]

bad actors...

[jx88jx]

umm.. 2:02 Vernon Dursley from Harry Potter LOl, had to say it

[sprygeoffreya17]

My first time viewing this 'forgiveness' scene on U-tube, and seeing all these comments, so I'm not alone! I, like I geuss everyone, react to that one phrase by the contessa, and the supernaturally beautiful and perfectly woven and placed melody by Mozart, in such a way,...I'm an old cowboy from Kansas, and it brings tears to my eyes, and lingers in my thought for awhile after each time I hear it. Like the choral high C in the ninth of Beethoven, just a moment of zenith in western music.

[TedMichaelMorgan]

Yes, exactly!

[ocramizz]

I saw this opera in a great theatre a few days ago...it was the first time, I didn't know the aria of "Contessa perdono", and when I listened it...I couldn't even breathe, for the divine beauty and at the same time for the humanity that it brings!...Long live to Mozart's music!

[broncosshredder]

I just saw this opera, and the forgiving scene is beyond words live. Truly a special moment.

[lookingforboludeces]

i really can't understand why everyone from Chapelmaster to the Director of the National Theatre hated his music so much. was it becouse they weren't used to those forms of music, melodies maybe? i mean, it is so beautiful why did they took as such a horrible thing?

[luisitokevincito]

Imagine watching this back then, with Mozart Himself as a director , what a dream....

[philarris]

le plus beau film au monde je suis fan une pur merveille!!!!!!

[reevolution137]

One of the most beautiful things ever to come from the human mind.

Vive Mozart

[SailorVVV]

is beautiful. saddest part in whole movie or any movie.

[clarissamarro]

commovente

[lucyliesinashes]

who's the soprano and baritone?

[xCAGx77]

this movie is so good its unreal

[bethmiknee]

"the fourth... was astounding"- oh god, is he right!! never heard such beautiful music.

[1E9R9R1]

Such a beautiful music almost makes me cry!! I can't explain with words what I feel when I hear Mozart music!!

[piffmonkey]

yeah i know what you mean!!! when i first watched this part i started to tear! but i was in class.. so i just made it look like i was yawning. ;)

[stevtomato]

It did make me cry... Le Nozze di Figaro has everything, laugh, tears, joy, sadness...

[aleagria03]

At 0:20 it`s so funny:)

[potoXmikey]

the first time i saw the movie i cried mozart was the best composer of all time no one else could beat him rip :(

[tuiteleleapaga]

hahahahahah!!

[PapagenoJuan]

I saw this at our local opera house, and it was awesome. of course, they changed the dance music to switching the acts. If that makes since.

anyways, the opera was awesome.

[ayuprnkcller]

This is so moving

[otacs2]

23danb? it is mozart-le nozze di figaro more i don't know but this is from the movie Amadeus most amazing movie in the world I have seen it much times, I hope i did help you :-))

[23danb]

does anybody know that name of the song and where it can be found? Please!!

[Nazz53]

Marriage Of Figaro, Act 4, "Ah Tutti Contenti"

Don't know if this is the exact name that the genius himself gave it, but you can find it under this name.

[krakemupski]

It's the finale of Le nozze di Figaro (The Marriage of Figaro)

The Countess Almaviva sweetly forgives her errant husband in one of the most sublime moments in all music. Heaven sounds like this.

Count Almaviva: Contessa, perdono, perdono, perdono...

The Countess (his wife, Rosina): Piu docile io sono e dico di si, dico di si

Chorus: Ah, tutti contenti saremo cosi... etc.

[lucyliesinashes]

*piu dolce (Kiri Te Kenawa famously missang this on the cd with Solti as 'piu dolce ed io')

[23danb]

God mus sing through this little man!! Amin.

[BABAORILEY282]

I could die for this man. Such a human touch...

[Sviolinist]

I'm angry like Mozart that it only did 9 performances!

[azsoen]

Wonderful!

[kanssasi]

When I saw/heard this for the first time, I cried like there was no tomorrow. It's truly "music of true forgiveness" and so touching.

[anyelboy]

This Movie It's the eight marvel of the world... You should see it.

[burtsbees2]

i've always thought "contessa, perdono" is the most beautiful part of le nozze. that and "che soave zeffiretto". this is such a great movie!

[M4DDISON]

this has to be one of my favourite operas i love it when sung live though theres no substitute stirs the very soul nuff said

[Nazz53]

great movie..one of my favs. i've always wanted to see this sice first seeing the movie back in the early 90's

[FranklyMisterShankly]

Like it? Hell, I own it!

[dylancaprotti]

Don't you mean; it owns you?

[rakugorakuen]
