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!

What a wonderful series, that Mozart was a genius is without doubt but it's so refreshing to hear Constanze receiving some much-deserved and well-overdue credit for a change. That the sublime music of Mozart survives in such completion today is largely thanks to here. I love them both!
It's so upsetting to see a wonderful and creative man go so early in his life. I love Wolfgang, and when I go to heaven (not impying my belifs here) I'll see all of my family, including the best writters I admire (William Shakespeare & Edgar Allan Poe) and last but not least Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. I'd like to have dinner with all these people (if possible) including his wife Constanze when I get to heaven.
BoggiDTerminator, you sound like a paranoid 70 year old. Nothing in Hazzlewood's analysis is offensive to Beethoven. He's also an admirer of Beethoven, he just meant to say the 5-counterpoint fugal device Mozart utilizes is so innovative that it's something the GREAT Beethoven didn't use. By the way there are multitudes of stupid, blind worshippers of Beethoven, they know nothing and always put down Mozart. randombackwash is one, (visit the video, "Beethoven vs Mozart)
You know you've watched a wonderful show when you're sad to see it go. It has enriched my already love for Mozart to see what an interesting life he lead.
rhumatic fever. and he also had a kidney disease. he had had kidney problems all his life. the fever made him delerious, so he became obsessed with the Requiem and literally worked himself to death
