PODCAST »Betwixt the Sheets« with Kate Lister 14. Juli 2023

Filed under: Radio — Judith Grohmann @ 19:04

»MOZARTS SEX LIFE« – When we think of the biggest pop icons of all time, we might reach for Madonna, Elvis, or yes, even Michael Jackson. 

One name that’s not thrown into the pot is Mozart. But why? His music was undoubtedly the pop music of his day, and as we’ll find out today, he had all the stardom and groupies of anyone in the modern day. 

Joining Dr. Kate Lister is Judith Grohmann, author of The Real Mozart: The Original King of Pop, to provide answers to questions such as what was he really like as a person? What influence did his relationship with his father have? And why did he write a song about eating excrement?!

This episode was edited by Tom Delargy, and produced by Stuart Beckwith. The senior producer was Charlotte Long.

In the Podcast »The Classical Music Minute« by Steven Hobé under the title »The Real Mozart: The Original King Of Pop“ by Judith Grohmann (Bonus Interview Ep)«, I chatted with him about my new book, »The Real Mozart: The Original King Of Pop«, Pen&Sword books Ltd., 2023.

This biography dives headfirst into the psychological workings of Mozart, as he navigates the explosive times of Viennese society during the enlightenment; his romantic and familial relationships, especially with his father Leopold; as well as, balancing the mundane task of earning money versus musical experimentation and expression.

Inside Story with Lucinda: with Judith Grohmann 8. April 2023

Filed under: Video — Judith Grohmann @ 09:34

Date: 6 April 2023, Time: 12:00 Noon UK Time, GOLDSTER BOOK CLUB, Location: Online

The great great great granddaughter of Charles and Catherine Dickens as well as author, art historian, public speaker and broadcaster Lucida Hawksley, talks with the Austrian author Judith Grohmann, who was born in Vienna and grew up speaking three different languages. An alumni of the Lycée Français de Vienne, she graduated from the University of Vienna with a Master’s degree in Political Science, Journalism and Japanese. She started to work as a  journalist at the age of 18 and became an author in 2005. Her previous books include Fighting the War on Terror and an official biography of the Austrian Chancellor Sebastian Kurz. 

In her brand new book, The Real Mozart, she takes us behind the curtain to reveal the real personality of a composer, whose influence on the world of music remains profound today. A child prodigy, Mozart created his own style by blending the traditional with the contemporary. He was much loved – and much hyped – but was also a multi-layered and controversial personality: on one side a provocative influencer, but on the other side, a man who was drawn to the Masonic mindset of brotherhood, freedom, tolerance and humanity. 

In his short life, Mozart anticipated almost everything that makes a celebrity today: international tours, hysterical fans, success, big hits, sex and addiction. Mozart’s oeuvre contains around 1,060 titles. Today he might have been showered with Grammys and platinum discs in recognition of his status as the original King of Pop.
