Music has always played an important role in the cinema: it establishes and maintains mood, heightens tension and complements the action portrayed on the screen. Who better to highlight those dramatic mood changes than the greatest and most loved composer of all time – Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

The success of the romantic soundtrack to the film Elvira Madigan (1967) led the way for the “man in the street” popularisation of Mozart’s music while Peter Schafer’s Amadeus (1984) brought Mozart to the masses and is now considered an all-time cinema classic.

This album features some of Mozart’s most popular compositions – orchestral, instrumental and vocal – featured in films from successful Hollywood blockbusters such as Amadeus, Star Trek:Insurrection, Alien, Philadelphia, Runaway Bride, and Mission Impossible to the more subtle arthouse releases such as Babette’s Feast and Lorenzo’s Oil. This is not just a superb compilation of over 2 hours of listening enjoyment but also a wonderful souvenir of those magical moments spent lost in the drama of the cinema’s big screen.
