| Summary |
Neglected genius? Wunderkind? Rebellious superstar? Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's (1756 - 1791) legend has become a series of myths that have made it almost impossible for a 21st century audience to know who the real man was. In Search of Mozart goes a long way to unravel these myths and understand the truth about this multi-faceted character. Via a detailed journey, we go to places to which Mozart is known to have travelled. This three-part series goes to the heart of old Europe and to that of genius itself. In Search of Mozart seeks to answer why Mozart is thought of as one of the world's greatest musical geniuses. Also, it asks what makes him so sublime to some, and a little too sickly to others? And what was the world like in which he travelled? Narrated through contemporary letters and accounts, In Search of Mozart features music from Europe's greatest orchestras and finest musicians; expert interviews; and some stunning towns and cities that Mozart both visited and performed in |
