大象传媒 Proms Composer: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
Laura Tunbridge chooses five essential recordings of 大象传媒 Proms Composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and explains why you need to hear them.
Recognised from the off throughout 18th-century Europe as a prodigiously gifted composer-performer, yet dead at the age of 35, Mozart has come to personify divinely inspired genius. His prolific output shows an incredible facility and level of accomplishment in almost every genre of his time, and many of Mozart's works are much-loved staples of the repertoire today, widely acknowledged as among the pinnacles of human achievement.
