Feuds Corner
With Richard Baker.
Amadeus, Peter Shaffer 's dramatic account of the rivalry between Mozart and Antonio Salieri , became one of the most popular plays and films of all time. Yet relations between the two composers were complex:
Mozart even arranged preferential seating for Salieri at the premiere of The Magic Flute in 1791, not long before he died. Music includes:
Salieri Prima fa Musica (Sinfonia) Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, conductor Nikolaus Harnoncourt
Mozart Variations on Salieri's "Mio
Caro Adone", K180
Ingrid Haebler (piano)
Salieri Armonia per un Tempio delta Notte II Gruppo di Roma
