Amadeus (1984), a cinematic masterpiece, won eight Academy Awards for its portrayal of Mozart’s life. The film captures music with unmatched fidelity, honoring the composer’s intentions. Producer Saul Zaentz, director Milos Forman, and writer Peter Shaffer enlisted Sir Neville Marriner to conduct. Marriner agreed, insisting not a single note of Mozart’s music be altered. Forman viewed the music as a third character, while Marriner called it the film’s leading character. The soundtrack, featuring Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields, showcases Mozart’s genius. Critics and audiences alike praised the film and its music. The soundtrack introduced Mozart to millions, far beyond concert hall reach. Super Audio Compact Disc (SA-CD) technology enhances the music’s brilliance for new listeners. Amadeus remains a landmark in music-driven filmmaking.
