A fine and enthralling film that gives a clear account of the nature of and explanation for Mozart's genius. His social and political contexts are not ignored, but above all, it is the music that is shown to be important. Clear points made by world-famous scholars and musicians. The narration and the off-screen actors playing the Mozarts father and son are all very good. The film is entertaining and enlightening; it is good for a general audience and for a secondary school music course. would be a well judged combination of learning and meant. It is attractive to listen to and to watch; the camera work is especially sensitive.
