Ms.V. H. reviewed on 3/27/2010

The foreword to this book is an incredible articulation of praise of Mozart's work by someone who knows his music very well indeed. The interview which makes up the body of the book itself could also only have been written by someone who knows Mozart's life, his music, and the music of the period. While Tavener's foreword is by far the better piece of writing, Rushton's pretend interview is interesting, entertaining, and informative; although rather too informal and a bit repetitive. Overall, a surprisingly good book for its genre.
