(For Music & European Studies)
From the director of the award-winning documentary, THE BOY WHO PLAYS ON THE BUDDHAS OF BAMIYAN, IN SEARCH OF MOZART is an utterly fascinating documentary which brings the brilliant, sometimes tragic, bawdy and all too human composer to life. Using a combination of his letters read evocatively by leading actors, hundreds of musical clips of orchestras and singers, interviews with scholars and musicians, as well as present day footage of the very long roads he traveled (he was on tour about 1/3 of the days of his short life), Mozart becomes as real as if he sat down to dinner with you. This is the story of a 25,000 mile journey along every route Mozart followed. Narrated by Juliet Stevenson, and produced in association with the world's leading orchestra, this bio-doc is a detective story that travels to the heart of old Europe, to the heart of genius itself.
