Mozart Summary

Mozart: The Man Revealed by John Suchet

DISCOVER THE TRUTH ABOUT THE WORLD'S MOST-LOVED COMPOSER

Musical history is full of tormented geniuses, tortured despite - or because of - their enormous talent. Yet perhaps the greatest musical virtuoso the world has ever known cannot be counted among them. Though he faced great hardships, Mozart was surely the happiest composer who ever lived.

In Mozart: The Man Revealed, John Suchet breathes new life into the story of the 'boy genius', revealing a complex character, yet one who always remained comfortable with himself and at ease with his gift. His musical legacy may be immortal, but the man behind the music was gloriously human.

About John Suchet

John Suchet presents the evening concert programme on Classic FM, the UK's most popular classical music station. Before turning to classical music, John was one of the UK's best-known television journalists and newscasters, regularly presenting ITN's flagship News at Ten, as well as all other bulletins, over a period of nearly 20 years. John has been honoured for both roles. He is the author of the Sunday Times bestselling Beethoven: The Man Revealed (2012) and The Last Waltz: The Story of the Strauss Dynasty and Vienna (2015), and most recently, Tchaikovsky: The Man Revealed (2018).
