    Mozart: Così Fan Tutte

    Written by Thomson Smillie

    Narrated by David Timson

    5/5

    ()

    About this audiobook

    Così Fan Tutte contains some of Mozart’s most sublime music. On one level, the opera is purely a social anecdote about young people falling in and out of love; but Mozart was a supreme sensualist and a great humanist, and invested the tale with all his understanding of humanity and young love.

    In this title, David Timson refutes the charge that Mozart squandered his genius on a work full of trivial nonsense and proves this ‘miraculous yet problematic’ opera to be a great work of theatre.

    To listen to this thought-provoking examination of the characters and the music is both thoroughly enriching and great fun.
