Mozart's Magnificent Voyage

Audio CD (Children's Book Store Distribution Sept. 15, 1998)
This popular newcomer in the Classical Kids series features Mozart's young son, Karl, who longs to be taken from his boarding school to spend more time with his famous father. An old travelling trunk serves as a magic chest that reveals an incredible journey back in time to Mozart's childhood and into the fantastic world of Mozart's great opera The Magic Flute. Along the way, Karl comes to understand Mozart's extraordinary life as a travelling prodigy, his pressures from family and fame, his passion for composing, and the common bonds they both share. Audiences will enjoy twenty three excerpts of the master's music, including themes from Mozart's operas The Marriage of Figaro and Don Giovanni, popular excerpts from The Magic Flute, and some of his most important and engaging works such as Ave Verum, Symphony No. 1, Clarinet Quintet, and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. The music is magically woven into the drama as two actors recreate historical incidents from the composer's life. This mesmerizing concert and story performance is approximately 50 minutes in length and is an ideal addition to any children's education program or family concert series. This program is recommended for audiences age six and up.
