Episode 3: Triumph and Tragedy in Paris

Duration: 1 hour

First broadcast: on BBC Radio 3Latest broadcast: on BBC Radio 3

When Mozart visited Paris as a child, the Parisians fêted him as a wunderkind. Today's programme finds him back in Paris - but now he's 22, and is met with a snooty Parisian indifference. He eventually scores a success with his 'Paris' Symphony, but at a huge personal cost - the death of his mother. Show less
