| Description |
It will not have escaped the attention of anyone remotely interested in music that 2006 is Mozart year; he was born in Salzburg 250 years ago. Recordings of his sublime music have of course been legion – but we can safely say that none compares with Living Era’s tribute, Mock Mozart. It is described as a “diverting collection of parodies, take-offs, send-ups, performances in good and bad taste, mixed with genuine tributes”.
The title and tone are set by Peter Ustinov’s extraordinary array of voices and noises, Mock Mozart, and continued by Victor Borge’s perennially hilarious Mozart Opera. Adaptations range from Raymond Scott’s lively In An 18th-Century Drawing Room to no fewer than four interpretations of Rondo alla turca (by Red Ingle, Henri René, Hazel Scott and Martha Eggerth & Jan Kiepura). Alec Templeton and Benny Goodman show us how Mozart Matriculates, and the wonderful Florence Foster Jenkins brings new meaning to the term ‘off-key’. What would Mozart have made of it all? He would surely have relished the Comedy Harmonists’ tender singing of “Mozart’s Lullaby” (oh, except that was written by somebody else!) |
