F. Murray Abraham plays Salieri. Neville Marriner and the Academy of St Martin-in-the Fields. I have combined audio from the soundtrack CD with a short extract from the movie.
One of, if not, the finest movie I have ever seen. Due, to a great extent to the superb illustration of Mozart's genius by Sir Neville Mariner's rendering of his music.
... the organic unity achieved in this motion picture is remarkable*🎶... however: a) too much 'chiaroscuro' (effects/tone) is added with regards Salieri, the 'mediocrity'; an opera composer who had, apparently impressed Beethoven, b) given, thus, 'intertextuality', {social issues of our times, valid with regards film theory, etc.} makes the art work*🖼️, c)...Dr Max Horkheimer once described aspects of popular culture as "... rubbish..." He was probably right, however one should not dismiss the discovery of value judgements...📚😎🌈 🎼 all the best...

@@vladimirazubcekova7727Okay, I see your point. I was speaking about Salieri, not the Movie. But from my own point of view (which is the only point of view I can represent) I could not hum a Salieri tune if my life depended on it -- I've listened to a lot of it, but I've never heard anything catchy. Furthermore, I think the movie (and the play on which the movie is based) in fact revived interest in Salieri's work, not the opposite you suggest. The movie spurred great popular curiosity in Salieri. Finally, about the movie: it is also a piece of art. Shakespeare's "Richard III" is widely panned by scholars as a tainted historical narrative, but it stands alone and importantly as a compelling fiction, and fountainhead of cultural value. Amadeus too is fictitious, but simultaneously appealing and intrigues people to discover not only the works of Mozart and Salieri, but classical music, period costume and art and architecture, and even film and playwriting themselves. It is a vital film, which happens to be fictitious.
An absolute tour de force, both the movie and acting. Just a gem that rekindled broad interest in not only classical music but also period movies. Shame that Tom Hulce didn't receive an Oscar for his efforts, but Abraham's Salieri was as fine a performance I've ever seen - again and again.
Hoooo..... Qué hermosa instrumentación. Qué notas más finas. El Alma se regosija y se desprende lentamente del cuerpo,. Hasta flotar en el espacio.😊❤❤😮
É fato que a Academy Awards dá umas belas escorregadas quando laurea o Oscar de Melhor Ator Mas F. Murray Abraham fez umas das melhores atuações da história do cinema. Seria Antonio Salieri assim mesmo?
