"Mozart was the greatest musically genius that ever lived. If he had been to London before me, it would have been in vain to go because nothing stands against the compositions of Mozart." Joseph Haydn (Austrian composer, 1732-1809) "A phenomenon as Mozart will always be a wonder, impossible to explain." Johann Wolfgang von Goethe (German poet, 1749-1832) "I bow before the master of all masters." Gioacchino Rossini (Italian opera composer, 1792-1868) "Every sentence a treasure." Robert Schumann (German composer, 1810-1856, about Mozart’s great G-Moll symphony) "He is the purest of al musicians, he is music himself." Claude Debussy (French composer, 1862-1918) "Mozart means: The world has a meaning and that meaning is explorable with the parable of music." Hermann Hesse (German-Swiss writer, 1877-1962) "Mozart is so pure and bright that I see his music as the inner beauty of the universe." Albert Einstein (German-American physician, 1879-1955) "When the angels play for God, they play Bach. But, if they play for themselves, they play Mozart." Isaiah Berlin (British philospher, 1909-1997) "Mozart is the divine Mozart, and he will always be. Not only his name but a heavenly genius that came down to Earth to stay thirty and a few years. And when he departed from this world, the world was new, enriched and blessed by his visit." Leonard Bernstein (American director, 1918-1990) "What would all music be without Mozart?" Thomas Bernhard (Austrian writer, 1931-1989) "If you want to become wiser, listen to Mohzart." Pinchas Zukerman (Iraelis violinist, geb. 1948) "The truth about Mozart’s music ist that it is deeply emotional and full of passion. His music is dangerous and merry, as no other ever written." Simon Rattle (British director, born 1955) "Mozart’s music is like a x-ray photo of our soul. It shows what is there and what is not." Anne-Sophie Mutter (German violinist, born. 1963) "I hear and feel in Mozart’s music an unbelievable link between genius and passion. One cannot imagine that a child or a young man had written such wonderful music." Anna Netrebko (Russian sopranist, born. 1971) |
