Does anyone recall, [I'll rent the video, tomorrow] what the [background ?] Mozart music was ? The ? came up when our comm. band was rehearsing the [band arr'gd] Rondo from K 622, some believed it to be the slow/beautiful movement #2 ?. A momentous question/request ! Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

it was/is the ADAGIO movement (2sd mvm't) from k622.
interestingly, many people after seeing the movie and hearing that particular music, were enamored over it.......but didn't realize it was Mozart nor his Klarinet Concerto

TKS, hartt, that confirms the recollection of a tenor sax player, sitting beside me [on alto cl, had a VG part in the Rondo !!]. Will congratulate her. Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

The soundtrack of that film is extremely beautiful, all around.

The solo track played in the movie was from a Jack Brymer recording.

Yep, the Adagio. It's quite lovely. I recommend the whole soundtrack. It is great listening.

TKS for the info and "expansion". I'm now going to get my VHS video of it, the mention of Jack B, and his comment "its [622] just the best " !, sold me. Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

Despite that work in the movie, it is at the very top of my list as the all-time most boring film I have ever seen.
American Gigolo used that work too - better flick if ya ask me....

I agree with David B. Can't even remember the story now. Robert Redford shampooing Meryl Streep scene is the only thing I can think of.

I know many people who feel as you do, including my husband. I have to say it's one of my favorite films of all time. I think it's the scenery and cultural stuff, as well as the cast - it's hard to go wrong with those two. And I do really love the soundtrack.
My husband feels it is a "chick flick". But it's got the Mozart! Although, if you recall, they are on a trip through the African wilderness and brought a gramophone with them. How realistic is that. Anything for art.

Yup - TKS for the responses/ opinions, to me, its a bit like horse-racing, "just a matter of opinion". When the ---Y video comes, we will view it, lengthy I believe, and report our impressions. My recollection is that of a view of African culture, early 20th century, a rather sad? "love" story. Perhaps the "passion" of the music is its claim to fame ?? Don
Thanx, Mark, Don

"You can get that in a National Geographic special and save yourself 2 more hours......."
...and play Jack Brymer's recording while watching that and you're there.
Here's the one line I know from the film - 'I had a farm in Africa...'
That's about all I remember.

My ex-wife made me watch it with her once. As I recall, it had something to do with Africa.

Aw, guys, where's your romantic side? Such a poignant story, magnificent scenery, British class system, unfulfilled love...and Mozart, too. This is why somebody invented cable, for when all you guys are watching football and wrestling.
If I knew how to put those little winking smilies GBK uses I'd put one here.
Seriously, listen to the soundtrack with a good stereo and you'll be hooked, I promise.
