Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart is described as the original Wunderkind and a tireless socialite of the classical period. He became a star of eighteenth-century European music through an enormous output of elegant melodies. According to the series, fame and acclaim took a toll, and he died in poverty and exhaustion at only 35. This short sketch follows the series’ own summary and is not a full biography.
Mozart’s release opened the schedule on 2 November 2010, with the Tchaikovsky album following on 16 November 2010. The twelve albums came out between 2 November 2010 and 19 April 2011, typically about two weeks apart.
Each album in the run focuses on a single composer. See all releases on the albums page or return to the home page.
