Neville Marriner
Image
Mozart's mental grip never loosens he never abandons himself to any one sense even at his most ecstatic moments his mind is vigorous, alert, and on the wing. He dives unerringly on to his finest ideas like a bird of prey, and once an idea is seized he soars off again with an undiminished power.
Walter J. Turner
Image
Mozart is the musical Christ.
Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky

Mozart is the most inaccessible of the great masters.
Artur Schnabel

Mozart's music always sounds unburdened, effortless, and light. This is why it unburdens, releases, and liberates us.

Image
Mozart died too late rather than too soon.
Glenn Gould

Mozart. Vivaldi. Van Gogh. Stretched their genius on struggle, stress and survival.
Billy Cannon
Image
Mozart's music is free of all exaggeration, of all sharp breaks and contradictions. The sun shines but does not blind, does not burn or consume. Heaven arches over the earth, but it does not weigh it down, it does not crush or devour it.
Karl Barth
Image
Mozart combines serenity, melancholy, and tragic intensity into one great lyric improvisation. Over it all hovers the greater spirit that is Mozart's - the spirit of compassion, of universal love, even of suffering - a spirit that knows no age, that belongs to all ages.
Leonard Bernstein

Mozart is a human incarnation of the divine force of creation.
Johann Wolfgang von Goethe
Image
Mozart's music is the mysterious language of a distant spiritual kingdom, whose marvelous accents echo in our inner being and arouse a higher, intensive life.
E. T. A. Hoffmann
Image
Mozart, who was buried in a pauper’s grave, was one of the greatest successes we know of, a man who in his early thirties had poured out his inexhaustible gift of music, leaving the world richer because he had passed that way. To leave the world richer—that is the ultimate success.
Eleanor Roosevelt
Image
Mozart's joy is made of serenity, and a phrase of his music is like a calm thought his simplicity is merely purity. It is a crystalline thing in which all the emotions play a role, but as if already celestially transposed. Moderation consists in feeling emotions as the angels do.
Andre Gide
Image
Mozart's music gives us permission to live.
John Updike
Image
Mozart, Pascal, Boolean algebra, Shakespeare, parliamentary government, baroque churches, Newton, the emancipation of women, Kant, Balanchine ballets, et al. don’t redeem what this particular civilization has wrought upon the world. The white race is the cancer of human history.
Susan Sontag
Image
Mozart 's music is very mysterious.
Walter J. Turner

Mozart resolved his emotions on a level that transformed them into moods uncontaminated by mortal anguish, enabling him to express the angelic anguish that is so peculiarly his own.
Yehudi Menuhin
Image
Mozart is everyone's tea, pleasing to highbrows, middlebrows and lowbrows alike, though they probably all get different kinds of pleasure from him.
Rose Macaulay
Image
Mozart was a punk, which people seem to forget. He was a naughty, naughty boy.
Shirley Manson
Image
Mozart is a garden, Schubert is a forest in light and shade, but Beethoven is a mountain range.
Artur Schnabel
Image
Mozart creates music from a mysterious center, and so knows the limits to the right and the left, above and below. He maintains moderation.
Karl Barth
