Most satisfying . . . A highly accessible initial foray into an astonishing, and inexhaustible, subject. The Cleveland Plain Dealer Mozarts music has enthralled listeners for centuries. In this brilliant biography, acclaimed historian Paul Johnson draws upon his expert knowledge of the era and Mozarts own private letters to conjure Wolfgang Amadeus Mozarts life and times in rich detail. Johnson charts Mozarts life from age three through to his later yearswhen he penned The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni. Along the way, Johnson challenges some of the popular myths that cloud Mozarts image: his allegedly tempestuous personal relationships and supposedly bitter rivalry with Salieri, as well as the notion that he was desperately impoverished when he died. The resulta bold, invigorating portrait of one of the most popular and influential composers of all timeis a welcome addition to Johnsons extraordinary body of work and makes a perfect gift for classical music lovers and fans of biographies.
