About this listen

“The time has come, I think, not to lie any more.”

This beautiful recording features solo performances by various classical musicians.

When cub reporter Lesley is sent to Venice to interview a world-renowned violinist, the journalist is told she can ask Paolo Levi anything about his life and career as a musician, but on no account must she ask him the Mozart question; never the Mozart question.

Paolo, however, has realised he must finally reveal the truth.

The start gives no indication at all of how moving and powerful a piece this is. I call it a piece rather than a story because there is almost as much music as prose. If you have an hour to spare, or even if you don't, listen to this
