With
compelling narration by Jeremy Siepmann, character portrayals by acclaimed actors, and the interpolation of many musical
extracts reflecting the development of ten of music's most enduringly awe-inspiring composers, 
we are transported
back in time straight into their lives. This innovative sense of immediacy is at the heart of this comprehensive series
of audio biographies depicting the lives of these famous composers whose music is universally admired.

01. Life and Works of Bach
Although now beloved and revered by millions as the greatest composer who ever
lived, Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) was best known in his lifetime as an organist, and was eclipsed in fame as a
composer by two of his 20 children. For the last 27 years of his life he was a schoolteacher and choir director whose
duties extended to meal supervision and dormitory inspection. Yet throughout his career he composed a vast body of
music, which is amongst the most joyful, dancing and enrapturing ever written. This portrait-in-sound includes many
examples of the music that made him immortal. With compelling narration by Jeremy Siepmann, character portrayals by
acclaimed actors, and the interpolation of over 25 substantial musical extracts reflecting the development of one of
music's most enduringly awe-inspiring composers. 

02. Life and Works of Beethoven
For many
people, Beethoven is the greatest composer who ever lived. In this portrait-in-sound, actors' readings combine with his
music to reveal a titanic personality, vulnerable and belligerent, comic and tragic, and above all heroic, as he comes
to grips with perhaps the greatest disability a musician can suffer. No man's music is more universal; few men's lives
are more inspiring. In every sense but one his modest height he was a giant. The great bonus of this audio-biography is
that the development of Beethoven's music can be heard in the context of his life. What did he write in those early,
ambitious years when he was at the peak of his musical powers? What did he write when beset with anxiety over his
failing hearing? And what was the music that insisted on pouring out of him, even though he couldn't hear it himself?
Jeremy Siepmann draws us into the private world of Ludwig van Beethoven, with the composer portrayed with such rugged
vividness by Bob Peck.

03. Life and Works of Brahms
Brahms is one of the best loved, yet most
controversial of all the Romantics. Almost uniquely, his works have never suffered the slightest period of eclipse.
Profoundly emotional yet governed by an iron discipline, the music, like the man, is a fascinating, entertaining, often
deeply moving blend of opposites. He had a gift for friendship and a capacity for love far beyond the ordinary, yet no
man could be ruder or more hurtful. Though humble, he was consumed by a sense of destiny, and his inner life, colored by
his adoration and fear of women, found expression in some of the greatest music ever written. Listening to this
audio-biography is leaping inside the life and times of a great German Romantic, understanding the man who was haunted
by the ghost of Beethoven for years and was forty-three before he wrote his First Symphony.

04. Life and
Works of Chopin
Frédéric Chopin is the pianist-composer par excellence. Regarded as one of the most
mesmerizing performers of his day, he lives on in his music his waltzes, mazurkas, etudes, preludes, nocturnes, three
piano sonatas, two piano concertos and much more. Here, his life, from his birth in Poland, his famous affair with the
French writer George Sand, to his death at the age of 39 in Paris, is told with his music featuring prominently. We
think of Chopin as a 'frail, sheltered genius' but this forthright portrait demonstrates he was far more boisterous than
that. Cheerful as a youth, it was only later that the glare of publicity, the change from local to national celebrity,
made Chopin guard his privacy more carefully. This is clearly presented in Jeremy Siepmann's sympathetic account of the
life of one of the key figures in Romantic music, and emphasized in the very personal portrayal by the English classical
actor Anton Lesser.

05. Life and Works of Dvorak 64kbps
One of the best-loved composers of
all time, Dvorák rose from rural origins to become not only a great but an influential composer. The first composer
to put his native Bohemia on the musical map of the world, he was invited to do the same for America. One result was the
famous "New World" Symphony, which made him a household name across the globe. Writing music of irresistible
color, lilt and peasant vitality, he was also a melodist-in-a-million. This portrait-in-sound follows a lovable and in
many ways a very simple, man from hay cart to imperial palace, from tragic loss to heart-warming joy, to pigeon-raising
and world celebrity.

06. Life and Works of Haydn
No great composer's story is more predominantly
happy than Haydn's, though even his has its share of clouds. Brilliant, strikingly original and blessed not only with
genius but an infectious sense of humor, he was also profound and modest, and his music, copiously illustrated here, has
brought happiness and illumination to millions.This is a mixture of biographical details, discussions about the music
and excerpts. Besides talking, there are 28 excerpts taken from recordings produced by Naxos.

07. Life and
Works of Liszt
The life of Franz Liszt was as daring and spectacular as his music. Famed throughout Europe as
the greatest pianist of the nineteenth century, he was one of the most original and prophetic composers who ever lived.
Beautiful in youth, glowering in age, his high-profile love affairs were the talk of the town wherever he went and his
generosity to young musicians was legendary. In this account of his epic life, actors' readings combine with plentiful
musical excerpts to paint a living portrait of a highly complex man. The greatest surprise in this audio-biography of
Franz Liszt is that, despite his reputation as a lion of the keyboard and one of the hugely popular superstars of his
era, he was, in fact, a steady personality. As Jeremy Siepmann shows, for all Liszt's pyrotechnics on the keyboard, and
itinerant life, he did not succumb uninhibitedly to the temptations of his environment. There existed a deeply
reflective strain within him, which is why and how he eventually transformed his public persona from the fabulous
virtuoso to Abbe Liszt as can be experienced in the readings from his letters and memories by Neville Jason.

08. Life and Works of Mozart
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the most astonishing child prodigy in the history of
music, is felt by many people to be the greatest composer who ever lived. Dominated and shaped by a highly intelligent
but frustrated and ambitious father, his story sees the development of a unique genius, from precocious and often
endearing childhood to liberated fulfillment, unexpected poverty, and a tragically early death. Generously illustrated
by Mozart's music, from his fifth to his final year, this portrait-in-sound reveals a fascinating yet elusive character,
drawing richly on the words of the composer himself and those who knew him. This is the ideal way to understand more
about Mozart the man, and his music. Throughout his life, he wrote numerous letters to his father and his friends and
pupils and his musical colleagues wrote about him. On this entertaining recording, with parts read by various actors,
Mozart himself comes to life with his sublime music ever-present as his career unfolds.

09. Life and Works
of Schubert 96Kbps
The life of Franz Schubert has been a gift to romantically inclined biographers: the
beautiful, brilliant, modest boy who sprang to fully fledged genius at the age of sixteen; the quintessential
‘artist in a garret’, entirely consumed by his art and living a hand-to-mouth existence in Vienna (home of
Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven); the gentle, cheerful, convivial young man who prized friendship almost as highly as music
itself; the unworldly poet from whom great music poured like water from a fountain; the unrecognised master who died
almost penniless at the age of thirty-one. And most of this is true. But, as revealed in this dramatised biography
(lavishly illustrated with musical examples), there was a secret, darker side to Schubert which only renders his story
that much more fascinating.

10. Life and Works of Tchaikovsky 128kbps
Tchaikovsky is one
of the most popular composers who ever lived. He is also one of the most misunderstood, as both man and musician, and
looks destined to remain among the most controversial. Widely misrepresented as an emotional voluptuary and typecast as
a 'crazy Russian genius', he was, in fact, a highly disciplined and masterly craftsman of pronounced classical leanings,
and a man whose volatile and hypersensitive temperament was as much his friend as his enemy. His life was lived at the
extremes, and fuelled by passions of almost every kind. This much is evident in his music, which plays a vital part in
this absorbing portrait, as do the words of the composer and his contemporaries. Here we meet the composer in the
context of his times. We also meet a man of compelling humanity, sensibility and humour.
