Complete Edition

Get this now. I repeat, get this now. You can fill in the holes at a later date, you will find better versions of much of this if you desire. However, you will not regret getting this. I hope to elaborate more on what is contained within at some point- but for now just get this. A box like this will require multiple visits to the editing board for update to the review.(EDIT- 2\20\2016: This set is above and beyond the price tag Brilliant is asking. K. 563, K. 174 abandoned movements, K. 436...Pritchard's 1956 Idomeneo with Simoneau... Just keeps getting better... K.50 Bastien und Bastienne has some amazing melodies! K.580a an adagio that sounds like a precursor for clarinet to k. 581. Speaking of clarinet, in the minuet to symphony 39 the clarinets add a little appoggiatura to the melody. It sounds awesome.To be honest, I knew that I was going to the short on money. I figured I could buy this in order to fill my need to hear Mozart. I mulled over it for a few weeks and finally caved in. I am glad that I did. I'm telling you, if you have any doubts, just buy this. You will be getting your money's worth and more.It is worth it. If one is concerned about the sound quality, don't be. For the most important works you will want multiple versions- this box set serves up many perfect supplement versions of your standard favorites. However, the surprises await in the obscure works-The very first works written by the child being performed on clavichord are insanely beautiful here. I think they are among his most sublime music. Again, to hear it on clavichord is ethereal. The early sonatas as well played on flute just floor me. One thing that is missing- the COMPLETE London sketchbook.Other highlights for me include the concert arias and songs/lieder...they are not complete but absolutely beautiful. It sounds very intimate in my living room. Piano sonatas, ensembles, trios...all the goods without the high price. The early Catholic works are very beautiful.Another reason I bought this is for the early operas. Unsure if they are worth buying at normal price I bought this box to explore them- I am in absolute awe at the beauty and creativity. When that obscure early aria of divine beauty reveals itself you will be content to live in that moment forever. The box is worth it for these early operas as well.K. 621 is comparable to Hogwood and Gardiner in the Period Practice style. The Overture though is conducted with better nuance and feel. Absolutely, as well as K. 588. I like it better than Jacobs, no doubt- however, measures 66 thru 71 of 'Ah guarda, sorella' have the same issue of Karajan's- see my review.The music that you are not necessarily going to shell out 10-20 bucks for but long to listen to are all here.Another missing component- the Amen fugue from K.626My own way of listening- I put it on MP3 and play on shuffle.

The sheer immensity of organizing for compact discs virtually all of Mozart's musicin one collection is staggering. And the sound is great. And the program notes availablefor download on Brilliantclassics.com are superb. I am very pleased that my investmentin this production has been such a joyful experience.

So far, I am enjoying every minute of this collection. I didn't even think of Mozart as my favorite composer, but he is now. He was certainly in the top ten, do not get me wrong. This collection is a bounty of musical merriment. For less than a buck per CD, you can have his entire output. He died so young, yet he produced so much great music in that brief life.

I ordered this on the 1st of the month and rec'd it on the 13th. I don't have prime, regardless that is VERY SLOW SHIPPING.The set itself is fantastic. As pictured, no frills, great music. I've listened to about 7 disks so far, really enjoying the music.

I must confess that I, too, have historically been a sucker for presentation, booklets, libretti, and other bells and whistles associated with the best boxed sets. Likewise, legendary performances. So why this set, which features none of those things? Because after a lot of years (and cash) I have enough of those treasures. What I did not have (prior to purchasing this set) was the vast majority of Mozart's considerable output. Oh sure, I had multiple iterations of his principal and most popular works, but the unfortunate reality is that the elite artists (and the elite labels for whom they record) rarely venture far from the center of the repertoire. Now enter Brilliant Classics, who (for a modest price) have enabled me to enjoy the full scope of Herr Mozart. What a great boon! Incidentally, I am 95 discs deep in the set and can't think of a single unkind thing to say about the quality of the recording or the competence of the performers. My recommendation of this set is unequivocal.

I'd only listened to Mozart in the movie, and decided to take the plunge and pick up this all-inclusive set. Working my way through the 170(!) CDs now as I draw. Awesome and wished I had come across this years back. Several CDs had some minor skips in them. The last one I pulled and looked at the face of the CD and it had a little nick or scratch in it. I doubt that I did that since it went directly from the sleeve into the changer. Nonetheless, I give it five stars. If you like Mozart, you cannot go wrong here, even at the price.

This is good stuff. The sound is clear and crisp, and the volume is consistent. Most important of course, it's Mozart, the original heavy metal rock-and-roller. I've listened to all 170 discs and the only stuff I don't look forward to hearing again is the operas, Classical Music's version of Professional Wrestling. The Klavierstucke series, discs 90, 91 and 92 I have marked as 'Different Good' and 'Twisted Avant-garde'. Disc number 58, "Flute Quartets Adagio & Rondo K167 For Glass Harmonia' I have simply marked as 'Hot'. I don't know nothin' 'bout music, but I know what I like, and I highly recommend this collection.

This is the biggest, most complete work collection of W.A. Mozart.A Masterpiece! 170 CD?, Really?? Wow! This is the most complete, comprehensive collection I've EVER seen. NO REPEATS .. All originals.Once imported in iTunes, the collection takes almost 16GB (sampled at 192kbps) sorted in 9 directories! If you're looking for ANY of what that Musical Genius EVER wrote, GO! GO! GO!

Download the booklet (3.3MB PDF File), that has several hundreds of pages. Start looking at page 239 (Full CDs Track List). You're bound to find it in there!No Questions Asked! You'll be pleased!

L'intégrale des oeuvres de Mozart dans un même coffret c'est fantastique, j'ai commencé à auditionner certains cd et je ne suis pas déçu... et de plus le prix est dérisoire pour un tel coffret, je le conseille fortement. Merci! Amazon! Serge

La "Edición completa de Mozart", que se publicó por primera vez en 2006 con motivo del 250 cumpleaños de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1756-1791), marcó un hito en la historia de los soportes sonoros: nunca antes se había publicado la grabación completa de un compositor.Esta edición de la "Mozart Complete Edition" sigue la receta del éxito de las ediciones anteriores y combina interpretaciones tradicionales de primer nivel, como la Philharmonia Orchestra de Paul Freeman, la Staatskapelle Dresden de Herbert Blomstedt u Otmar Suitner o la pianista Klára Würtz , con actuaciones históricamente informadas de expertos reconocidos como la Academia Mozart de Ámsterdam bajo la dirección de Jaap Ter Linden, la Musica ad Rhenum bajo la dirección de Jed Wentz, La Petite Bande bajo la dirección de Sigiswald Kuijken y el fortepianista Bart van Oort.Son 170 CD que representan la totalidad de la obra de Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart en actuaciones históricamente informadas. Esto incluye todos los conciertos, música de cámara, divertimentos, sonatas y, por supuesto, las óperas.Los artistas de renombre incluyen: Ton Koopman; Herbert Blomstedt; Sandor Vegh; La Petite Bande Camerata Salzburgo; Staatskapelle Dresde. Las grabaciones contenidas en la caja se realizaron principalmente como grabaciones digitales entre la década de 1980 y 2013 para sellos de renombre como Accent, Berlin Classics y Capriccio o como producciones internas de alta calidad.

Esta colección la vi en la casa-museo de Mozart en Salzburgo, pero no tuve oportunidad de comprarla. Después la vi en Amazon y me emocioné mucho porque era la misma colección.Es excelente, apenas he escuchado algunos CD's pero están increíbles. La calidad del sonido es muy buena.Los transferí a digital para escucharlo en el Iphone y se escucha muy bien.Ahora lo que me faltará es tiempo para escuchar los 170 CD's.

Si la musique en général, et celle de Mozart en particulier, peut contribuer au bonheur, l'achat de cette intégrale est un investissement.Et puis, enfin, des œuvres autrement introuvables sont à la portée de tous.Certes, tout le monde ne pourra pas dépenser cette somme, mais par comparaison avec le prix des gadgets technologiques que la plupart des ménages se doivent désormais d'acheter pour que leur progéniture vive l'illusion de faire partie d'un présumé merveilleux meilleur des mondes connecté, ce n'est pas trop cher payé pour se réfugier dans le paradis du divin Mozart.

Quel cofanetto è il regalo di compleanno di mio figlio, il quale è anche un musicista e un tecnico audio molto bravo, che adora Mozart ed ha trovato il prodotto molto soddisfacente. Personalmente reputo il rapporto qualità prezzo molto favorevole e, contrariamente ad altre recensioni, i CD non avevano difetti. La spedizione è giunta in anticipo ed ho fatto una bella figura. Grazie.
