I did see Amadeus ... but I haven't watched this take on how they made the movie ... I'm sure it's interesting ... especially the snippets of behind the scenes and the Iron Curtain era ... <br /><br />Cheers - I may get to it ... I do hope all is well with you - life is improving here (the hip is) ... but the weather is giving us some winter shots - it's glorious when the sun comes out ... but freezing outside anyway!! Take care and thanks for the delightful card ... I've kept them up for now ...

The movie made him seem so madcap, but when you listen to the music that he composed for women, he seems to understand them perfectly, when they are sad or happy or content, the music says it all.loverofwordshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05763349886822924646noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-6426626847057130832015-02-08T16:15:14.177-08:002015-02-08T16:15:14.177-08:00A perfect Mozart scene.

Mozart's music makes you happy, you are so right. And what else should music do? Not be an intellectual challenge, I don't think. There are enough of those in our lives, so why not listen to something that makes you happy?Ingerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02924736131382149056noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-37257011925659177642015-02-06T12:42:18.476-08:002015-02-06T12:42:18.476-08:00We visited Vienna years ago.

It was easy to imagine the music there.Susan Kanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09834094675218254410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9000213818076940390.post-11713643724490930582015-01-30T16:01:43.502-08:002015-01-30T16:01:43.502-08:00Hi Bazza: Did you get a chance to view the making...Hi Bazza: Did you get a chance to view the making of Amadeus?

There is a fabulous duet from the beginning of Act Three (I think) <i>Sull' Aria</i> or similar which is just magical.<br />Before this post I was listening to Joan Baez singing 'Farewell Angellina'!<br /><b><a href="http://todiscoverice.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> CLICK HERE for Bazza’s fabulous Blog ‘To Discover Ice’</a></b>bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.com
