Famous Composers Wolfgang Mozart DVD

The Famous Composers Wolfgang Mozart DVD is an insightful program that uncovers his character and explores the obstacles he overcame in trying to establish himself as an independent artist when musicians were still seen as servants to the rich and powerful.

The program concludes with a brief overview of Mozart's work that is useful to experienced music lovers and newcomers alike. The soundtrack features a selection of Mozart's compositions played by members of the Elysium Ensemble.
