“Performing this music here, where he was born, in a way you feel 'Oh, this is what Mozart saw, this is what Mozart was breathing; the air, the atmosphere'.”
Cecilia Bartoli
“I think the music of Mozart is like a universe of human feelings, sentiments and fragility, and ... that's why it's so 'actual' in a way, so modern.”
“There was a time in which "vulgar music" was how people called something like The Magic Flute. From Mozart to the reggeton; oh man, this world had fallen low!”
Jairo Fernández
“I pay no attention whatever to anybody's praise or blame. I simply follow my own feelings.”
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart
“There is no female Mozart because there is no female Jack the Ripper.”
Camille Paglia
“No one asks you to throw Mozart out of the window. Keep Mozart. Cherish him. Keep Moses too, and Buddha and Lao Tzu and Christ. Keep them in your heart. But make room for the others, the coming ones, the ones who are already scratching on the window-panes.”
Henry Miller
“Because of Mozart, it's all over after the age of seven.”
Wendy Wasserstein
