A masterpiece of movie-making that won eight academy awards, Amadeus is one of the few films about music that presents it with absolute fidelity to its maker's intentions. When producer Saul Zaentz, director Milos Forman, and writer Peter Shaffer asked Sir Neville Marriner to conduct for the 1984 film, he told them yes. Critics were as enthusiastic about the motion picture as were audiences. The soundtrack recording--a generous sampling of Mozart's genius--stood on its own because of the brilliance of Marriner's conducting and the performance of the Academy of St. Martin-in-the-Fields. Now, in the glory of sound made possible by Super Audio Compact Disc (SACD) technology, Mozart's music reaches new generations of listeners.
