The story of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's life is well known.Austrian-born to a tyrannical father who worked him fiercely; unhappily married to a spendthrift woman; a child-like character ill at ease amid the aristocratic splendour of the Viennese court; a musical genius who died young thus depriving the world of future glories. Yet only that last point is really true. In this comprehemsive biography,John Suchet examines the many myths and misunderstandings surrounding the world's best-loved composer.From his early days as a child prodigy performing for the imperial royal family in Vienna to the last months of his short life,driven to exhaustion by a punitive workload,one thing remained constant: his happy disposition. Through trials and tribulations,grand successes and disheartening serbacks, Suchet shows us the real Mozart - blessed with an abundance of talent yet sometimes struggling to earn a living.His mischievous nature and earthy sense of humour,his ease and confidence in his own incredible abilities; these were traits that never left him.His music has brought comfort to countless generations; his life,though brief,is no less fascinating. John Suchet presents Classic FM's flagship morning programme,from 9am every weekday.His informative style of presentation,coupled with a deep knowledge of classical music,has won a wide spectrum of new listeners to the station.Before turning to classical music,John was one of the UK's best-known television journalists. As a reporter for ITN he covered world events,including the Iran revolution,the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan and the Philippines revolution.He then became a newscaster,regularly presenting ITN's flagship News at Ten,as well as all other bulletins,over a period of nearly twenty years.
