Mozart: Complete String Quintets, Vol. 31 review Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Eder Quartet, ... Naxos, 1998 Excellent CD of Mozart's Last Major Chamber Works Both of these String Quintets are the last of Mozart's major chamber works, and how wonderful they are. K.593 in D Major was written in December 1790, and is played very well by the augmented Eder Quartet. Even though Mozart is entering the last year of his tragically short life, the music is ...             Mozart: Le nozze di Figaro (Highlights) / Kleiber4 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, ... Decca, 1997 Excellent historical recording - and a wonderful introduction to opera + Greatest Bass this Century + Excellent Conducting and a Lively Figaro I've already reviewed the full set of this wonderful opera recording by Erich Kleiber. I am purchasing this High Light set for my friend who is beginning to feel interested in opera. Siepi - Gueden - Della Casa - Danco, even Poell. All great in their respective roles. The conducting couldn't be ...             Mozart: Symphony No. 41 "Jupiter"1 review Gwydion Brooke, Jack Brymer, ... EMI Classics, 2001 A lovely way to be introduced to Beecham's Mozart It's quite unfair for the Amazon reviewer to describe these late Mozart recordings from Beecham as "stately, deliberate, stolid." True, he came from an earlier generation of Mozarteans, and his tempos arern't brisk, but the correct adjectives are "easy, natural, and good-humored." Beecham's Mozart ...             Mozart: String Quartets (Complete), Vol. 4 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Eder Quartet Naxos, 1993             Mozart: Complete Piano Concertos, Vol. 101 review Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Matyas Antal, ... Naxos, 1994 No debtor to its predecessors As I have praised the Naxos Mozart Complete Piano Concertos edition enough on volumes 1 through 9, suffice it to say here that this tenth volume, recorded in January 1991, is no debtor to its predecessors. Concerto No. 15 is for one piano, played (as usual) delightfully by Jenö Jandó; the other two ...             Mozart: Flute Concertos Nos. 1 and 2; Concerto for Flute & Harp3 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Patrick Gallois, ... Naxos, 2003 Lovely Flute, agile orchestra, Fine Mozart, 24-bit sounds + Excellent Budget Release of Mozart's Flute Concerti There are those who might hold the sheer glint and fluency of these Mozart concertos against both the composer himself, and against the players and listeners who might keep this lighter repertoire alive, either on disc or in the concert hall. I am not among this crowd, however. Yes, I must admit ...             Mozart: Piano Sonatas No. 10-12; Christian Zacharias Christian Zacharias, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart EMI Classics, 2004             Mozart: The Complete Symphonies2 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Barry Wordsworth, ... Naxos, 2004 Mozart's Complete Symphonies (plus a few he didn't write) + A great bargain box of Mozart Symphonies This box of 11 CDs contains all the known symphonies written by Mozart, except for the only recently (1983) discovered very early symphony in A Minor, the so-called 'Odense' Symphony, and for lagniappe includes a couple that were written by others but which had for most of two centuries been ...             Mozart: The Magic Flute (Highlights)5 reviews Siegfried Jerusalem, Wolfgang Brendel, ... EMI Classics, 2000 a fine recording at a bargain basement price + A good highlights disc I do not pretend to be an opera expert, but to my ears this is a lovely rocording, and you can't beat the price. I don't know what the previous reviewer is raving about, because the famous Queen of the Night aria ("Der Holle Rache Kocht In Meinem Herzen") is presented in full splendor on the cd ...             Mozart: Violin Concertos Nos. 3 & 5; Adagio; Rondo1 review Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Stephen Gunzenhauser, ... Naxos, 1994 Outside 18th Century Parameters Although I prefer, on principle, Simon Standage's period instrument recording of Mozart's Violin Concertos (with the Academy of Ancient Music on Decca), I must confess to being very positively impressed by Takako Nishizaki's modern instrument version recorded in 1987 and 1989 (the Adagio and the ...             Mozart: Requiem, Exsultate jubilate20 reviews Robert Lloyd, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... EMI Classics, 2000 An Immortal Conclusion + Requiem: Beautiful -- Exsultate: Eh. + Mozart's Requiem + An excellent performance of a classic piece             Mozart: Requiem1 review Peter Mikulas, Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, ... Naxos, 1992 Satisfying traditional interpretation from Slovakia Unlike most listeners I learned to love Mozart’s “Requiem”, not in the traditionally performed version as completed by Franz Xaver Süssmayr [that is the correct spelling; Naxos insist on adding an “e” before the final “r”, but that is just a mistake], but ...             Mozart: The Great Piano Concertos, Vol. 122 reviews Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Neville Marriner, ... Philips, 1994 Brendel and Marriner play Mozart at a bargain price + Mozart is great! + Fabulous + cherry picking + Mozart: The Great Piano Concertos, Vol. 1 Alfred Brendel             Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 36 "Linz" & 40 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Neville Marriner, ... EMI Classics, 2005             Mozart: Symphonies 29, 35 "Haffner" & 36 "Linz"1 review Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Herbert von Karajan, ... EMI Classics, 2005 An intriguing combination of high voltage and elegance Karajan's way with Mozart never changed. Here we have a 1960 recording of Sym. 29 along with 1970 versios of the Haffner and Linz (#35 and #36), three works that are all cheerful and buoyant. Karajan views them as large-scale pieces a la Bernstein, Bohm, and Klemperer. The Berlin Phil. is recorded ...             Mozart: Opera Arias1 review Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Herbert von Karajan, ... EMI Classics, 2005 A Mozartian Unsurpassed Since. These arias were recorded when ES was still quite young. What a voice! What singing! What devotion! It is interesting to have ES singing Cherubino as well as Susanna and the Countess Rosina in Le Nozze di Figaro. Her Donna Elvira is always a killer. But my greatest admiration in this album goes ...             Piano Quartets No 1 & 21 review Mozart, Zacharias, ... EMI Classics, 2003 A very nice recording I had not heard of any of the musicians prior to purchasing this CD. Frankly, the price attracted me initially. After listening to it a few times it really begins to grow on you. The quartets are played beautifully and the sound is first-rate. At the price, it is also a good bargain. I recommend it ...             Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 20 & 21 Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, David Zinman, ...

Decca, 1990 Not perfect, but still the best. It's extremely difficult to choose between the large battery of Mozart's Requiem recordings available. Other works has it's unbeatable version. For example, the work done by Jeremy Summerly and the Oxford Camerata (Naxos label) on Faure's Requiem is undoubtely perfect and light years from any other ...
