Return to Vienna

Available for 22 days

Donald Macleod pursues Franz Xaver Mozart as he returns to Vienna, a period when his health began to rapidly decline. With guest Professor Cliff Eisen, Macleod also explores whether Mozart’s own personality was perhaps one reason why his career as a composer and performer never really flourished, and how the constant comparison with his father was also a significant hindrance.
