Just got back from a thoroughly delightful "Happy Birthday, Mozart" concert featuring arias from various Mozart operas, followed by birthday cake!

I put Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart on a lofty plateau with two other "superstars," Johann Sebastian Bach and Ludwig Von Beethoven. One can debate whether others belong up there with them (Handel comes to mind, and there are others)but one can hardly justify removing any of them for anyone else.

Oh they're the big three. I would put Wagner 4th. In terms of sheer influence.

Hi, site! If you go to Arts & Letters Daily today and go down the page a bit, on the right-hand side there are links to a whole mess of essays about Mozart. The only one I've read so far was the one by Terry Teachout, very good, a nice palliative vis-a-vis Lebrecht's miserable maunderings.
