A gem from the BBC, "The Genius of Mozart" is an enlightening and enveloping reconstruction of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's (1756--1791) life. Masterfully written and directed, this three-episode UK TV mini-series became an instant hit when aired in March of 2004, so much so as to inspire the equivalent to be made of Ludwig Van Beethoven's life (a three-part series simply called "Beethoven", which I have also uploaded).
"The Genius of Mozart" constitutes a powerful retelling of Mozart's life, beginning with his childhood as a travelling musical prodigy and ending with his tragic death at the tender age of 35. Every aspect of the film has been given thorough thought, so as to ensure an accurate historical reconstruction. Inspirational performances from the main actors and actresses foster captivation, while regular narrative interjections from the popular composer and conductor Charles Hazlewood brings an insightful, educational dimension. You will enjoy!

prototypegmwt! Hayd underrated, you say? His work is considered a milestone in european music. Haydn is said to have completed the classical sonata and renewed and refined the quartet to perfection. That is credit!
Prettymuch! I guess he is overshadowed by Beethoven and Mozart, who probably had the greater natural talents. Still, his works deserve more attention.
He wrote the Clarinet Concerto for it as well. But I'm not sure it could be considered the equivalent of modern bass clarinets, and the basset horn is still used and has a different range to a bass. It's nearer to the Alto Clarinet.
the bass clarinet is different from the basset clarinet. The range of the basset is much higher. What I'm saying is that the Basset horn/clarinet are very much like the modern soprano clarinet except it has more low notes.
