Without resorting to docu-drama or visual re-enactment, In Search of Mozart traces the composer's life through his music and extensive correspondence. Over 80 musical excerpts are featured in chronological order, revealing striking parallels between the music and Mozart's own experiences. Throughout, it is the music that takes center stage, with the jigsaw of Mozart's life fitting around it. With rigorous analysis from musicologists and experts a new impression of the composer emerges. It dispels the common myths about Mozart's genius, health, relationships, death and character, and present a new, vivid image. The most comprehensive film about Mozart that I have ever seen.Sir Roger Norrington
