Rated 5 out of 5 by from A breezy introduction to Mozart's life A two hour stroll though the sights and sounds of Mozart's brief life. Appropriate visuals, intelligent script, and some charming commentary by big names, but the real star is the non-stop music. A thoroughly enjoyable if superficial romp that ends with the happy news that Mozart was neither troubled nor poor when he died. BTW the amazing Robert Greenberg is your guide at Wondrium to delve deep into the Mozartian magic.

Rated 4 out of 5 by from Enjoyable I would have given this a 3 as it is light on facts, but my wife, who is a musician, would have given it a 5. So I split the difference. I believe what the folks are trying to do here is show the circumstances of the composer’s life as they were when a piece of music was written. As this it works fine. I did find it interesting the filmmaker was not a big fan of the movie, Amadeus. He did not think it very factual! Small gripe, the camera work of this series really bothers me. He goes in too tight on the interviewee’s faces. I do not need to see all their pores and count their teeth. He tends to over light the subjects also, frequently with the light coming from below, giving an almost ghostly effect at times. All in all, thought we both enjoyed the presentation very much.
