Reviews for Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart

- Rating: 1 out of 5 stars1/5Oh my!! This must be the most boring rendition of any audiobook or podcast I have came across. The narrators voice is so bland of any inflections, it sounds like he is half asleep or reading it reluctantly when all he wants to do is go back to his bourbon, cigar and slippers. I’m sure it is factually impressive but I honestly couldn’t listen to it long enough to find out. There are, thankfully, far better narrations, don’t give up hope.
- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5Somewhat informative, but why don’t these narrators take the time to learn how to pronounce the words and names properly?
