If you've seen Amadeus, the urgent syncopations launching today's show will whisk you straight back to the opening rush through the dark streets of Vienna. If you haven't seen Amadeus, well, please, please do. The storyline and the portrayal of Mozart may not be strictly historically accurate, but who cares. Amadeus is an outstanding bit of filmmaking, in my humble opinion and many others', and it sets Mozart's music as a ring sets a gem.
