I’m drunk and high; this is amazing
Did you bring enough for everyone?!😜
Trust me, it's this awesome sober too.
No. That's just F. Murray Abraham. FUCKING GENIUS.
Wicked Awesome
Rock me Amadeus!
F. Murray Abraham could read the phone book and I'd be on the edge of my seat
Because you need to sit on the phone book to reach the table?
Amadeus is my favorite movie, and to hear F. Murray Abraham read this novel is amazing.
He recreates Antonio Salieri so well. Here, he is careful not to fall into the same rhythms of the character he played on screen.
Outstanding.
MY FAV MOVIE EVER
It's a play, not a novel.
O
F Murray Abraham is truly the Amadeus genius... under rated.... elegant.... truly interesting
Its raining outside, its cold, ive an electric fire on, im under a blanket on the couch and listening to this.. nice way to spend an evening
Sounds a little pretentious. No disrespect. Read it out loud yourself and get rid of the blanket.
What a beautiful setting . There's nothing so delightful as the sound of rain . This story is the cream on top .
@@edmmitch your comment was one of the more pretentious things I've read in recent memory.
@@edmmitch Abbastanza! Sei cosi ignorante!
@@edmmitch OR, to put it another way, YOU might say " Gee Mr Maverick Rhodes, I really wish you wouldn't express any of the warm and wonderfully simple joys in life, Cuz it hurts me when you share like that. I don't know why. all I know is that you lie and I would take your blanket away and make you read this Amadeus story out loud instead of listening to F. Murray Abraham's brilliant voice. . . . . With all due respect.!
I am very pleased that they never made a part 2 or a remake of this movie. Some things should not be touched.
Amadeus II: Back from the Crypt!
???? How could they possibly make a part 2?
They're gonna remake it as a television series...
@@wolterzz3267 please no
He has a great voice.
I agree totally. This is a perfect voice for reading this. It's immaculate.
Great movie.
You should watch it.
oh my gosh. amadeus has been my favorite movie since i was a kid. i can’t believe i’ve just uncovered this gem.
Listening to this after watching the film is absolutely fascinating, and having Abraham read it helps tons.
So love this work- film book theatre
La mejor historia nunca antes escrita de un genio musical, gracias a todos los involucrados por darnos está obra de arte.
This is a brilliant masterful reading by F. Murray Abraham. Nuanced and expressive without being overly theatrical. And with fragments of Mozart's music as an added treat.
The music isn't an added treat. It is included in the stage direction for the play.
It is vital.
@@pillettadoinswartsh4974 OK, it's a vital treat.
Anything F.Murray Abraham touches turns to pure gold.
MAESTRO!!
From Scarface to Amadeus to being a good Narrator too, even for Wildlife Documentaries, this is a well trained good actor right here.
"I am your patron saint. The patron saint of mediocrity." Gives me the shivers alright. . .
We are HUGE FANS of Mr. F. Murray Abraham!!❤ What a PERFECT voice for ALL audio books; as long as he's reading we'll be happily LISTENING along...👏❣🇨🇦
Fantastic! Just found this in 2020!
Me too : I just found this clip now myself. "Amadeus" (director's cut) has always been one of my favourite movies, but I never paid attention to the play itself.
2021
Glad to have found this on the 6th of September 2021, from Ireland xx
@@Contrapunctus1984 we can see the date
2023❤ Ground breaking!! Love this and the movie! A real feel good experience!
Thanks for sharing this post!!
Amazing !!! I've seen Amadeus at least a hundred times through the years, "listening" the movie was another thing. Such a beautiful tale told by Abraham.
F. Murray Abraham is an actor of the highest caliber. On the level of an Anthony Hopkins. His Academy Award for his role as Salieri was well deserved. Why did we not see him in more big roles is not clear to me.
I am a big fan of his, as an actor. However, he has an abrasive personality, and many in the industry refuse to work with him.
@@drinklish2963 how is his personality abrasive? :0
@@feministamagotchi6663 Sorry for the late reply. In 1986, while filming The Name of the Rose, he had just won an Oscar, so he considered himself superior to Sean Connery, who at that point hadn't yet won an oscar, and made it a point to be late on set to demonstrate his superiority. This, among other stories, gives a glimpse into his personality, and is probably one of the main reasons he was ostracized in Hollywood.
Fascinating info. His performance as Salieri was ridiculously brilliant. Off stage...and the person...actor...can make a difference.
I found out a long time ago that one of the reasons we don't see certain actors on screen more is because many of them enjoy doing on-stage acting, with live audiences. I can see wanting to do that.
THIS IS AMAZING!!!!!!! How have I never found this before.Thank the lord I have now!!!
This voice is just 🤤
This is, by far, the greatest video and audio book on the internet...... period. It's simply sublime 😉
Absolutely brilliant, Mr. Abraham! I'm a huge admirer of the film, as well. It's among my very favorites!
What a performance. First the movie, now this. Wow.
Fantastic, entertaining audio production of my favourite composer. Peter Schaeffer did an intriguing, though mainly fictitious job of Amadeus. In the movie, All the cast were imo, perfect in their parts.
I am enjoying this audio drama immensely and will keep it as one of my favourites for listening to time and time again. 🎶👍😊❤️
I was in this twice, when performed by Amateur Dramatics in the 80’s- once as a citizen of Vienna & then as Constance Mozart- happy days❤️
Brilliant reading. Worthy only of an F. Murray Abraham.Thank you Murray. Rick
This programme is why TH-cam in the lockdown is keeping many people sane.
To me..... to hear the legend academy award winner wear the skin of Saleri once again, quite possibly might be the greatest TH-cam find I personally ever discovered! My favorite film ... Now my favorite audiobook....... Bravo seniore! Bravo........... Last thing: Saleri wasn't held as an absolute elite composer in this fascinating immaculate film...... He was incredible and very blessed by Christ , rather he believed that or not.... He was truly astonishing in his own right...... He was considered one of the the greatest in all of Europe and rest of the world in any continent....... He just wanted to be immortalized as he should...... I'm on the fence, about if he poisoned that young lad...... I will ask God when I get there ... Afterall, He is really the only one who knows........ Like a rusty squeeze box...... Lol.....just heard him say that line.... I always got a kick outta that......... YT Saleri's Adagio piece...... Then tell me if he wasn't gifted by the maker........ Greetings my friends...... From Hollywood CA
Finding this absolutely made my day. He’s just fantastic!
2 minutes into this recording and I already have tears in my eyes. Amadeus changed my life when I first saw it as a teenager. Thank you for this. Is there any DVD or something I can buy with this recording?
You can download it in any torrent site, or just convert this video into mp3
Among the best audiodramas I have heard
Thank you so much for uploading this. I don’t think I’d have listened to it otherwise. This was incredibly enjoyable, I had no idea how different it was from the movie.
OMG! what a great film AMADEUS, and Salieri ( F. Murray=🤗) was the great star of the film, he brought in Drama! I never forget this cinematic pearl! 💝🙏👍💕
A superb story beautifully narrated and a wonderful companion to the marvellous movie.
This pleases me greatly. I love this version.
Masterful. Grazie, Maestro Abraham.
Magnificent, a respectful masterpiece
Wonderful reading. This guy F. Murray Abraham can really read and act. Notice he isn't rushed, he seems to just be talking to you directly. Incredibly professional. Well done.
This is my favorite movie! Thank you for putting this up. I watched it all over again in my head! 😇😍
THIS IS AMAZING !! THE VOICE IS PERFECT
There are few words to describe the reading of Peter Shaffer's brilliant play, read so incredibly well by F. Murry Abraham. One must not forget the genius and such profound music that will indeed last the ages......Mozart, you have given us true beauty. Thank you for posting this, I just found it and could not switch it off. I shall definitely listen many times.
What a great story, amazing, thanks so much for posting!
Magnificent.
No other reading equals this, safe Toni Morrison’s personal reading of her novel Beloved. This is just amazing. I wish F. Murray Abraham could have received an award for doing this in addition to his performance in the film.
Wonderful
Delightful, and funny! F. Murray Abraham is a great voice performer. So glad I found this.
What would F. Murray Abraham sound like as Mozart? And more of him as Salieri.
This is a dream come true 😊☺
This was sooo good! I've only seen clips from the movie. After listening to this, I can't wait to watch!
Love to listen mr.F. Murray ! His velvety voice is one in million! I don’t remember how many times I watch movie AMADEUS ! and specially because of mr.Murray fantastic acting. Good wishes ,sincerely Ana
Goosebumps. Literal goosebumps
Listening to help me fall asleep. I adore this.
Bravo maestro!
A wonderful read - F. Murray Abraham!
Hi Cleveland
This was fantastic. I listened in one sitting. Thank you so much for sharing.
This was fantastic. Thank you for the upload!
I just found this today (October 29th, 2021). It's breathtaking!! ❤❤
Beautiful story and voice...
Just found this Oct 2021. Very, very happy about it!
Marvelous! 👏👏👏👏👏👏
The night before Mozart's death was so eerie, like imagine him frightenedly singing a nursery rhyme in denial while Salieri confirms everything he has ever feared
This is beautiful. I saw FMA do a reading with the Pittsburgh Symphony when they did Mozarts Requiem. Hes brilliant.
That voice 👍👏
This is forever.
I saw the play in Chicago - Abraham and Mark Hamill as Mozart. It was superb.
Well written and read
absolutely beautiful...
Thank you so much for this!!
Your work, (film, TV, voice) remains an inspiration to all those who aspire to greatness!
You have taught me much!!! AND your work has given all of us great inspiration and pleasure!
May you bask in your contribution to our simple humanity as you prepare to meet our God!!!

Loved listening to this!
Thank you for upload
Thank you for great art
This was magnificent!
Murray is incredible.
Great Film. Amazing Stage Production.
F. Murray is one of the greatest actors who has been underestimated. I knew Murray years ago in N.Y. And he was brilliant then and has only achieved greater stature for me. Rarely does an actor of his caliber come along. My pleasure was to know him then and appreciate him now. Good for you Murray.
So good!
Thank you for posting 👍
I would pay F. Murray Abraham 1 Million to reprise his role as Salieri, all scene's shot in his POV opposite the priest's. At 83, Abraham would give the same haunting performance, without all the makeup in one of the most fascinating characters in all of cinematic history.
Well done. Thank you!
What a wonderful reeding.
This is like a dream..... a thousand thank yous master..................
Incredible! 💗
Outstanding!
Founded October 25, 3022 ❤
Greateat performance of all time by F Murray Abraham period.
I love this!
I'm in the Bahamas it's 85F I can hear the birds in the paradise flowers over the story. This is living
Compelling. Gracias.
Saw this masterpiece on a December evening 1986, I believe all that Salieri professed in this confessional.
I love Murray, I love Mozart, I love music!
Wow. Thank you
The voice of god!
Brilliant!!!
That. Was Incredible
great adaptation !!!

Oh man that was great!
This film made me realize way by when that I would live in MEDIOCRITY.
From Omar the ‘stoolie’ to Antonio Salieri, what an actor
You want me to believe Omar was a stoolie because _Sosa_ said so? You bought that line?
I could listen to this man read the phone book and still be enthralled
With a name like Abraham, he’s likely on the first page too.
Brilliant story!
This is beauty made real.
I love these embellishment’s in this script ))
Excelente actuación Abraham Murray me atrevería a decir que para mí fue el mejor actor de la película Amadeus!!!!
Lo es!!
Se Gano el Oscar en 1984 por este papel.
Wish this was available in audiobook.
