    THANK YOU! I HAVE SPENT YEARS LOOKING FOR THIS RECORDING AND THE PRO-SHOT VIDEO OF THE 1980 BROADWAY PERFORMANCE OF IAN MCKELLEN AND TIM CURRY, WHICH WAS SHOT BY THE NY PUBLIC LIBRARY/ LOFT in 1982, RIGHT BEFORE TIM CURRY AND JANE SEYMOUR LEFT. (NCOV 156 -- Amadeus 1981). ONE DOWN, ONE TO GO! (I have an audio recording of the Broadway production that I made using a Sony TCS 300, but alas Tim had just departed to do the film ANNIE (bug mistake!) SO I AM STILL LOOKING FOR THE VIDEO VERSON SHOT WITH THE ORIGINAL CAST! TIM CURRY WAS BRILLIANT AS MOZART!

      I admire your persistence, but you’re not gonna find that proshot anywhere outside the library. A nationally-broadcast radio play is one thing, but those tapes don’t *ever* leave the building. They guard those things like dragons.

    I remember driving back to London from the West Country, tuning in to radio 3 and guess what came on?
    Thanks for this. I'll be listening to this soonest.
    Many, many thanks.
    It added even more to the plot.

      The BBC filmed the second of these passages, and you're right, it's breathtaking

    Very interesting play but Salieri is one of the consultant to Mozart on Italian Opera ! He is also the teacher of Beethoven , Schubert . and Hummel.

    What music is played at about 1:19:00? Is it piano concerto 24 in c minor?

    • @soutteruk1
      @soutteruk1 Před 2 lety +5

      The third movement of Mozart's 23 Piano Concerto in A major.

      Thank you very much. I at first thought it to be from the first movement from piano concerto 23 or 24. I never considered the 3rd movement for some reason. I listened to the first movements of most of Mozart’s piano concertos to no avail.

    • @canman5060
      @canman5060 Před 2 lety +3

      It is the thrid movement Rondo from piano concerto no. 23 in A major K 488.I played it all the time and never get tired of it.
