I already have a 1983 radio production of 'Amadeus' on the channel - starring Paul Scofield, so it's highly recommended! But then, this abridged and serialised reading was broadcast in 2006 and it would probably be considered incidental by comparison, except... it's read by F. Murray Abraham.
Abraham had, of course, starred as Salieri in the celebrated film adaptation of Shaffer's tale of obsession and murderous jealousy. As a chance to hear him perform the original material, this recording is lifted above its origins as a 15-minutes-per-episode Friday Night distraction.
MYSTERIOUS MAGPIE is a channel devoted to ghost and horror stories on British radio, and to dark tales of every kind. I have another channel, MYSTICAL MAGPIE, which is all about stories of fantasy, mythology, and adventure: https://www.youtube.com/@MysticalMagpie-wo5fn
