Jan Swafford, Mozart: the Reign of Love . Self-recommending. A wonderful biographer covers one of the most important humans, to produce the best Mozart biography of all time. You may recall I also had high praise for Swafford’s Beethoven biography from 2014.
Jan Swafford, Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph . As good or better than the classic biographies of the composer.
5. Jan Swafford, Beethoven: Anguish and Triumph . A consistently excellent and engaging treatment of a figure you cannot read too many books about. It does not seem like a book of 1000+ pages. The funny thing is, this book does not come close to exhausting Beethoven, in fact it barely scratches the surface. It’s as good as the classic Maynard Solomon biography.
