DVD Reviews of Le Mozart Noir / Joseph Boulogne, Le Chevalier Saint Georges
DVD Review: A little known black musician who influenced Mozart
Summary: 5 Stars
This really is an amazing production presenting an accomplished musician and athlete. How is it That Joseph Boulogne is so little known? He said to have been a virtuoso violinist of the front rank who played before Marie Antoinette. He could have become director oif the Paris Opera, but that was a step too far for a black person in a European capital.
There is no record as far as I can see that Boulogne met Mozart who visited Paris at the time. A remarkable point made is that Boulogne introduced the Sinfonia Concertante form which Mozart certainly picked up and made his own with even his most remarkable music. It is also stated that Boulogne commissioned Haydn and conducted his Paris Symphonies.
I have only been able to find this document in Region 1 format so it remains under wraps to a large degree, especially for European audiences. I'm sure this could be easily remedied by making copies available in Region 2 or 0!
