Beginning in 1763, the film follows the Mozart family s exhausting life on the road, traveling by coach from one royal court to the next, where the nobility marvel at young Wolfgang s prodigious talent. But accomplished singer, harpsichordist, violinist Nannerl, Wolfgang s elder by five years, first held forth as the family s infant prodigy. At the film begins, she is still performing, though overshadowed and sidelined as accompanist by Wolfgang s growing fame. Her father bows to social strictures for her own good, refusing to let her continue with the violin or compose, while privately conceding Nannerl s talent to his wife. No longer a precocious tot, Nannerl chafes at the limitations imposed by her gender and frets about her prospects.

The Oleg Kagan/Sviatoslav Richter all-Mozart recital, recorded live at Tours in July, 1974, came out on a 1991 EMI budget CD release, minus the G major sonata K. 379. EMI now releases the whole recital in a richer, more present remastering, coupled with the pair s live 1976 Munich Beethoven Op. 23 and Spring Sonatas, which, I believe, are new to CD. Although the Kagan/Richter collaboration was in its relative infancy at the time of the Mozart recordings, the musicians are kindred spirits in their disciplined ensemble and decisive, large-scaled approach to these works.
