CBC Radio Programs on Mozart

Thanks to Connie Woloschuk, a Canadian friend and colleague who sent me these links, a couple of CBC (Canada) radio programs on Mozart she enjoyed over the holiday season.

Part 1:

From boyhood triumphs to burial in a common grave; a Mozart “grand tour” with historians, archivists, musicians, musicologists, even a Freudian analyst, recorded in Paris, London, Prague, Vienna and Salzburg. PLUS excerpts from Mozart’s letters.

Part 2:

Which of Mozart’s arias were composed in return for sexual favours? Do we see in Don Giovanni a coded quest to kill his father? Why did Mozart gamble so recklessly? Was the mysterious “grey messenger” who commissioned the Requiem the harbinger of his death?
