Product Description
CLASSIC FM MAGAZINE
"Phew! The only problem with this sparkling biography is keeping up with the headlong pace set by what was really an extraordinary life."
Review
"the writer who evokes Mozart's world most vividly - albeit obliquely - is the journalist and music critic Anthony Holden... Da Ponte's life ... is certainly a rollicking yarn... a riproaring read." (HUGH CANNING SUNDAY TIMES )
"Holden's narrative verve spans continents and centuries. His life of Da Ponte is engrossing and bound to be definitive. It is a brilliant story." (OBSERVER )
"Anthony Holden steers through this incredible picaresque story with elan, well paced gusto and a gentle, if not uncritical, eye... Anthony Holden's book is a fine achievement." (THE OLDIE )
"Anthony Holden writes extremely well, teling the racy story energetically... He provides a rattlingly good read, filled with vivid anecdotes." (NICHOLAS KENYON SPECTATOR )
"It is hard to imagine a more flamboyant personal history, a gift to the biographer Anthony Holden, who relishes his subject's sheer exuberance." (GUARDIAN )
"Anthony Holden's... biography, brings assiduous new research to Da Ponte's early and late life and tells his story in journalistic deadpan." (ROBERT THICKNESSE THE TABLET )
"Anthony Holden's compelling narrative does justice to the man and to the highs and lows of his unusually varied career." (WATERSTONE'S BOOKS QUARTERLY )
"Holden's companionable new biography is a refreshing take on an old story." (ALEXANDER WAUGH MAIL ON SUNDAY )
"entertaining" (THE HERALD )
"he writes with a sincere enthusiasm about the creative partnership with Mozart." (JONATHAN KEATES SUNDAY TELEGRAPH )
"The trajectory of Lorenzo Da Ponte's life was remarkable." (LONDON REVIEW OF BOOKS )
"This is a tale of a literary adventurer, full of mystery... Holden does his readers a favour by making his subject interesting to an audience beyond opera lovers." (SUNDAY BUSINESS POST )
"a genuine pleasure. At turns amusing, poignant and instructive, it engagingly captures the chemistry between librettist and composer that produced those masterpieces of the operatic repetoire." (IRISH TIMES )
