Itsza his birthday! what music do ya lika from Mozart? :)
The Requiem, esp Sanctus x 3. Very melodramatic!
Also, Turkish Rondo. You can really dance to it.
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is quite good.
Piano concerto no. 21 has a certain fragile delicacy. (Is it 21 or a different one?)
Rock Me Amadeus was by far his best work...

Yep, these are exactly my favourites too... I love Mozart... The greastest composer ever!
Mozart is my mother's favorite composer. I don't really care for him that much. Out of the 10 to 15 classical CDs I own, none are by him. Then why post in this Amadeus thread you might ask? Good question.
You're so odd, that sometimes I am forced to post how odd you are.
PS Now I have "Baby, baby do it to me rock me" stuck in my head!
The history of the world, my pet, is learn forgiveness and try to forget
Rock me Amadeus...Ooo...ooo...rock me...
In my humble opinion, his comic operas are his best work. His timing was impeccable and he managed to mix homour with pathos in such a delicate combo that you couldn't help feeling it all. And it's not his fault that the end of Cosi Fan Tutte sucks arse (i guess)!
I am likely to miss the main event
If I stop to cry or complain again.
So I'll just keep a deliberate pace,
Let the damn breeze dry my face.
excellent choices there Fred! I also like don giovanni :)
I would love to know what songs your mum hears from mozart, I dont have many cds, & would like to know which one I should collect Erwin :) I have the movie soundtrack ones.
Thank, Rebel. We obviously agree anout Mozart's greatness. Mozart is a very good composer, I think. Well, he was a genius I guess. It all came so naturally to him. He didn't even have to work hard.
I will listen out for Don Giovanni, now that you mention it.
The Last Symphony, also called 'Jupiter' is one of my favorites.
Così fan tutte is one of his best operas written by Lorenzo da Ponte. It's a little shakespearian also...
Mozart was a genius. His music is one of the most likeable and perfect technically and aesthetically. They call him, along with Beethoven and Schubert (only quoting the most remarkable), one of the greatest masters of "absolute music". Plus, his life was just incredible! I am in adoration every time I hear Mozart.
