Leopold, father, as incapable of submitting to authority. He realizes early on that Wolfgang and his sister are talented and that Wolfgang is a prodigy. They will be his ticket to money. Grand tour for years showing off the child prodigy, and it doesn't fail to impress. Mozart is so baffling that some think he is a god of sorts; others that there is some magic involved.
Six cd's filled with lots of good music and about the right information on his life and death. Amadeus, not surprisingly, is not accurate. M. probably died as a result of rheumatic fever. He had this as a child (his father angry because he couldn't perform) and probably had repeated bouts as an adult. Overwork, stress, etc.
The lecturer was a little annoying at times, but he was lively at all times, so all in all, good. I wouldn't want to listen to two in a row, but I would come back to him again.
