About this album

Amadeus turns Mozart’s music into the dramatic heart of one of cinema’s most celebrated period films. Recorded by Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St Martin-in-the-Fields, the soundtrack presents excerpts from symphonies, concertos, operas and sacred works with clarity, elegance and real theatrical lift. Released in 1984 alongside Miloš Forman’s award-winning film, it helped bring Mozart to a huge popular audience and became one of the best-known classical crossover soundtracks of the era. Rather than treating the pieces as background, the album frames them as vivid musical scenes, showing why Mozart’s writing still feels immediate, human and enduring.
