RECORDING INFORMATION

On this important new recording World-renowned Mozart soprano and lieder singer Barbara Bonney performs the recently rediscovered songs of 'The Other Mozart' - the great composer's son Franz Xaver.

"He possesses unusual musical talent...I predict that he will be as successful as his famous father" (Antonio Salieri in 1807)

On this important new recording Barbara Bonney and Malcolm Martineau perform Franz Xaver's remarkable songs - rediscovered in Salzburg more than 150 years after his death.

Franz Xaver Mozart was just five months old when his father - the great Wolfgang Amadeus - died at the age of just 36. His mother Constanze was keen to make the most of her husband's fame and so young Franz Xaver became known as Wolfgang. By the age of 7 he was an accomplished pianist, able to play his father's easier works, and he received singing lessons from his father's 'rival' Antonio Salieri.
