I am not a fan of Mozart’s opera, but I am a fan of Mozart’s violin concertos. In particular, recently I couldn’t get enough of the following piece.
In early 1980s (or late 1970s), the Chinese government invited Isaac Stern for a “music exchange” visit to China. It was all documented in the documentary “From Mao to Mozart”. For me, the most memorable sequence of the film is when Isaac Stern taught the current Chinese National Philharmonic how to properly play this piece.

Interesting to learn of your favorite moment in the film. Mine was at the end when 10-year old Wang Jian shows up with his collo and blows everyone away with his playing!
