London Mozart Players, Matthias Bamert

Antonio Salieri (18. August 1750 - 7. May 1825) was a Venetian composer and conductor. As the Austrian imperial Kapellmeister from 1788 to 1824, he was one of the most important and famous musicians of his time.
It is unfortunate that Antonio Salieri is known now almost exclusively for being the nemesis of Mozart in the Peter Schaffer play and subsequent film 'Amadeus'.
Salieri was certainly much more than the thwarted, second-rate composer.
Perhaps he was not in Mozart's league so far as
composition power goes (although the best of Salieri certainly stands up as worthy in comparison with many of the major composers of his time), but he was a respected composer in his own time, and perhaps more than for his composition, he was respected as a teacher and court musician. Salieri counts among his pupils Beethoven, Schubert, Liszt and even Mozart's second son.
