The Life of Mozart

De: Edward Holmes

Narrado por: David Case

Edward Holmes, a schoolfellow of Keats, provides the first complete account of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, based upon Mozart's own letters and memoirs.

In this biography, written long before the significance of Mozart's work was fully realized, Holmes reveals the musician's character and genius, his struggles, his influence on art, and the brilliant reputations that surrounded him.

Exceptional review of Mozart's life

This is the most comprehensive account of Mozart, in terms of research and citation of correspondence regarding Mozart. This book is very enjoyable, and I may even listen to it again. If you are interested in Mozart, this book is a must!

Mozart for the Cognoscenti

David Case reads (beautifully, as always) this most-interesting biography of Mozart, written not long after his death in the early 1800s. The style of writing is florid by today’s standards, but the material is fascinating.
