A wonderful set !

I bought the complete set for my birthday. What a wonderful surprise ! Let's say I did not know much about Mozart's music except some few "classics" (the symphonies, the requiem, some piano concertos and sonatas, some serenades and the operas). I love every piece I have listened to until now. I have discovered beautiful music I would never have listened to if I had not bought the set ! For example, some piano music or the Church sonatas. Right now I'm listening to string quartets (vol. 5 - cd 8), they're simply charming ! I keep pressing the "previous" button of my remote control. The music is really well played : good tempi, good sound, beautiful voices. And the price is very very reasonable ! I think this set constitutes an admirable opportunity for anyone to discover or rediscover Mozart's music.

I have been looking for a set like this for a long time.

So far the CDs I have listened to are of excellent quality.

best way to complete Mozart

Clarity, balance, and transparency are hallmarks of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's music. He is a one of the most prolific and influential composers of the classical era. He was a versatile composer and wrote in almost every major genre, including symphony, opera, the solo concerto, chamber music including string quartet and string quintet, and the piano sonata. While none of these genres were new, the piano concerto was almost single-handedly developed and popularized by Mozart. He also wrote a great deal of religious music, including masses; and he composed many dances, divertimenti, serenades, and other forms of light entertainment. Mozart has over 600 compositions includes works widely acknowledged as the greater of symphonic, concert ante, chamber, piano, operatic, and choral music. Mozart is among the most enduringly popular of classical composers, and many of his works are part of the standard concert repertoire around the world. Due to the reasons stated above, any person who loves good music would simply want to have all his compositions at hand. Brilliant classics has fulfilled this need by coming out with a complete box set of all his compositions.

But first and foremost I agree that if a person has the energy and resources to get the best version of a composition that is the best way to go. For example, I would always recommend and listen to Mitsuko Uchida for Mozart's Piano Concertos or Anne Sophie Mutter for the Violin Concertos. There are a lot of credible reviewers who can be of assistance if you want to go thru this path. But to acquire a complete Mozart collection this way will never be easy. This we have to admit is not only going to be expensive but a long and tiring one. So having this Complete Mozart Collection by Brilliant Classics is the way to go. This box contains 170 CD collections of all Mozart's 600 plus compositions for us to enjoy and study at a reasonable price. This is also a lot cheaper that The Philips Complete Mozart set.

As of this time I have listened to haft of the collection and I am very much satisfied with it. Although I must be honest, that some compositions are not at its best form or version. But I congratulate Brilliant classics for their great effort to be able to gather all the works and sell this at a reasonable price. Since this collection will give me a chance to be able to listen to all of Mozart's composition I will be able to determine my favorites and purchase "better" or "alternative" renditions in the future.

Charles Rosen wrote "It is only through recognizing the violence and sensuality at the center of Mozart's work that we can make a start towards a comprehension of his structures and an insight into his magnificence..."

So what are you waiting for? Purchase this right away and get into the music of one of the greatest composers of all time.
