No great composer’s story is more predominantly happy than Haydn’s, though even his has its share of clouds. A classic rags to riches tale, it sees him move from humble beginnings through decades as a liveried servant to his emergence as the most popular and successful composer of his time. One of the healthiest and least neurotic artists in musical history, he did more than any other single figure to pioneer the symphony, the piano sonata and the string quartet – and he was the first truly great practitioner of each. Brilliant, strikingly original and blessed not only with genius but an infectious sense of humour, he was also profound and modest, and his music, copiously illustrated here, has brought happiness and illumination to millions.

A most entertaining and charming biography on Papa Haydn and his life. Very well read and the pieces of music are well chosen. It is strange, really, how little most of us know about his music though we know about his importance and brilliance as a composer. I warmly recommend this book, also because it is one of the best audiobooks I have heard. A real gem!
