Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart - Die zwei Seiten eines Genies. Eva Gesine Baur erzählt Mozarts dissonantes Leben, ohne zu beschönigen, dass der Schöpfer unfassbarer Musik auch eine schwarze Seite hatte: Sich seines göttlichen Talents bewusst, log, trickste und intrigierte er. Er verschenkte Glückseligkeiten und verteilte Bösartigkeiten. Die Biografie versucht, diesen Abgrund auszuloten. Mozart selbst hat das Problem in die Welt gesetzt, mit der sich seine Verehrer und seine Biografen herumschlagen: Er schrieb Briefe, die seine menschlichen Schwächen bloßlegen.

Dass in Franz Schubert, der aus seiner Geburtsstadt Wien nie weit hinauskam, gleichwohl die Sehnsucht nach der Ferne schlummerte, zeigen etliche seiner Kompositionen, die das Wandern besingen, die Natur im Lauf der Jahreszeiten ausdeuten. Im Geiste der Romantik sind dabei Trennung, Einsamkeit und Todesgedanken stets unterschwellig präsent.

For Marcia Davenport, the research and writing of Mozart was truly a labor of love, during which she retraced every journey he made, saw every dwelling (then extant) in which he had ever lived, every theatre where his works were first performed, and every library and museum where his manuscripts were then to be seen. In this eloquent work of historical reconstruction, Davenport lets her characters tell their own stories.

With the possible exception of Mozart, Verdi is the most popular opera composer who ever lived. Quite early in his career his tunes were being cranked out by barrel organs throughout Europe and were well known to many who may never even have heard his name. But the complex man behind them remains elusive and puzzling. In this portrait-in-sound, Jeremy Siepmann and a group of distinguished actors take an in-depth look behind the popular image of a man who was, and perhaps remains, the most enduring national hero in Italian history and a colossus in the history of music itself.
