Customer Reviews of This Album/CD
Very Good Recordings at a Bargain Price Submitted on: 2009-11-16
I have not only bought Brilliant's Complete Mozart Edition, I have also bought their Complete Beethoven and Complete Bach Editions as well. My observations on those two collections are the same as for this one - and I highly recommend them all.
That said - the reason I would not give any of these collections five stars is because Brilliant clearly has not provided definitive versions of any of these works. Nor should you expect that at these prices. But what they have provided are all very good. It is not as though Brilliant commissioned the University of Montana Marching Band to record this music - the caliber of all musicians involved is generally good to excellent. So the quality of the recordings and the musicianship, at least to my layman's ears anyway, is more than acceptable. In the case of the Beethoven Symphonies, the recordings (Kurt Masur - Leipzig) are every bit as good - at least to me - as anything done by Berlin and von Karajan. And in regards to this Mozart collection - I have now listend to nearly 50 of the CDs, and all provide me that instant attitude adjustment that only Mozart's astonishingly positive and sprightly melodies can provide. This is Mozart folks - as someone once observed - EVERYTHING he wrote is miraculous. So why in the world would you not want to instantly buy a copy of EVERYTHING he ever wrote, if you could get your hands on it.
And now you can.
Brilliant is to be congratulated for making a rather obvious idea a reality. To whit: one can buy the rights to not so famous versions of not so famous pieces of music for next to nothing, and then burn copies of the CDs by the thousands for even cheaper. Then all you have to do is package it effectively and efficiently to make the prices competitive, and you will have yourself a cash cow.
And Brilliant has done a great job keeping costs down with simple but effective packaging. The CDs come in clearly identifiable sleeves (not jewel cases). These are packed, in order, in a VERY sturdy box made of heavy gauge cardboard. If you treat this box with care, there is no reason why it won't last for years. On the inside of the box, Brilliant provides labelling, so you know exactly where to look if you want to hear a particular piece. Each CD sleeve contains all the information you would need to know - the piece of music, its length, and the musicians involved. The box fits perfectly on the shelving I built for my standard CDs - meaning it is not oversized in any way.
I am very pleased with this collection, and look forward to a lifetime of listening enjoyment - as I now possess on the order of 500 hours of music from 3 of the greatest composers in history, for less than one dollar per CD. I play this music all the time, and am grateful that I live in an age where such things are possible. For the same price it would take to bring my family to a baseball game or two, I can now hear more music than the richest king or emperor ever could 200 years ago, even if he spent a small fortune hiring dozens of world-class musicians and then set out to locate copies of every manuscript for what amounts to thousands of pieces of music. Good luck with that Emperor Franz - you should have waited 200 years to be born...
Really Cool....mostly historical performances, but not all Submitted on: 2009-10-24
I concur with the other good reviews of this product: it's an incredible deal and full of discoveries. One brief note: the set mixes mostly historical performances with some on modern instruments (not a good or bad thing on its own).
Good performances - disc labeling faulty Submitted on: 2009-09-30
The performances I have reviewed during the nine months I have been listening to this set are uniformly excellent. Some of the performers are famous, some are unheard of but still excellent. You won't find many Metropolitan Opera or Covent Garden stars amongst the operas, but some of the unheard of groups are just as good as the major and most popular performers. You will also find the likes of Jerry Hadleys, Colin Davis, Gil Sharon and Barbara Hendricks here and there which is a pleasant surprise. If you buy this set and just insert your favorite masterworks for one of these works that you feel is of lessor quality, you really aren't
out much and may be surprised to find something here to challenge your favorite. A lot of it is really fine.
However, there are some technical errors with the discs. Particularly in Volume 9, the Operas. If you are loading some of the works into your iTunes library for use on an iPod, as I am, there are inconveniences in variability of the disc labeling such that the format of the labeling varies between parts of the same opera so that iTunes loads the tracks on one part out of order in the library. You will have to manually correct the labeling of each track in order to get the tracks of the operas affected by this problem in correct order for iTunes and your iPod to play them in correct order.
Additionally, the tracks on several of the discs are wrong. For instance, the CD in the envelope labeled part 3 of Cosi Fan Tutte, volume 9 CD 40 with the CD itself labeled part 3, volume 9 CD 40, actually contains the tracks for part 1, volume 9 CD 38, so you get a duplicate of CD 38 but no CD 40, thus missing the last tracks of Cosi Fan Tutte. This problem also exists in a couple of the orchestral works, fortunately amongst minor and likely unmissed works for some.
I have requested a replacement for the CD 40. A correctly recorded CD 40 may not exist, depending on the method used by Brilliant to produce the discs. We shall see whether they will support their product.
There are also several cases so far of tracks that "freeze" and cycle the read head in the CD drive and preventing ejection of the CD without closing iTunes and starting it up again with the offending track unchecked to cause iTunes to bypass it. In one case, recording the remainder of the CD and trying to record the offending track again was successful.
So far (about 60% of the discs reviewed) the errors have occurred on only a few discs, with manual relabeling correcting all but a couple of incorrect track content problems.
Amongst 170 CDs of a set of this nature, that's not bad, but certainly imperfect and annoying. Hopefully Brilliant will make good the missing material. The label format problem is probably beyond correction and is simply a minor inconvenience.
The bottom line is that this set is a fabulous buy, particularly with the price now reduced $20 from what I paid Amazon last December. It's hard to describe the pleasure of experiencing the immense volume of Mozart's work contained in this set. I doubt anyone will like all of it, but there is a universe of fine works here.
If you have a big Classic iPod, you can get the entire set on it and travel around with all of Mozart in your pocket.
Mozart authentic ! Submitted on: 2009-09-29
This box set is a must own ! I have it for more than a year already and still have a lot to listen to but as far as i have listened, this collection is a pure marvel.
According to an old Austrian friend, the recordings of this collection is Mozart as he remembers it beeing played in Vienna in his childhood.
Make yourself the gift of listening to the music of a genius played in a european maner. The sounds of these orchestras are simply beautifull even if not all of the recordings have the same quality in sound.
I find particularely interesting that these orchestras are smaller in size, probably closer to what Mozart had written for, than our north american oversized bands. The result is a refined, delicate music to wich nothing needs to be added.
My very first piece to listen to was, of course, The Magic Flute.
I already own a few versions of it but believe me, the one in this box set gave me goose bumps.
Open your ears and your mind, let yourself be invaded, your soul deserves it !
A review for all classical music dummies out there Submitted on: 2009-09-22
After watching the movie "Amadeus", I was instantly a fan of Mozart's music, and have been a fan of classical music in general, ever since. I am not an expert on classical music, identifying whether the recordings were performed with period instruments or not, or critiquing each individual performance, so I won't even try to do so. I'll leave that to others who have a more finely tuned ear and experience with orchestra, etc.
I personally found the recordings to be perfectly acceptable and very enjoyable to listen to. For the average classical music fan, there won't be many, if any, complaints about the quality of the music here. I listened through this set in its entirety and didn't hear any live recordings with clapping, annoying coughs, etc. And I can't say I remember hearing any sound quality issues where I was like "Ugh, that sounds awful." All sounded well to me.
As for content, I don't have nearly the time or patience to try and figure out if all of Mozart's work is here. But all of Mozart's pieces that I'm familiar with are here, and a whole lot more (obviously) since this is a 170 cd set. I've heard that this set is truly a complete works, and I thought I read a review elsewhere that says otherwise, so I don't know. But if this set isn't truly complete, it has to be darn close. And from what I've seen, I don't see any larger Mozart sets out there, especially for this price. For completeness, this has to be your best bet.
The format of the set in the long, shoebox style case, with each cd in an individual paper sleeve which lists the tracks and running time for each cd, is about the only practical way to design a set of this magnitude. Opening and closing the lid repeatedly makes me concerned a bit about whether the spine of the box will eventually start to wear, mostly on each end, so I would recommend having the set up against something that will support the lid when open, but this is a minor nitpick on my part. Some have expressed concern about the sleeves eventually scratching the cd's, but if you squeeze the sleeve on each side, the paper bows outward and allows you to easily remove the cd without friction. I don't see a problem here. The box is not unwieldy by any means, and can easily be stored on a shelf of some kind (where it would look great on display, I might add).
Price - For 170 cd's at $130, what is there to think about? That's less than a buck a pop, with most cd's containing over an hour of music. You won't find a better bargain anywhere. Just spend, or should I say INVEST, the money and enjoy this great Mozart set for the rest of your life. It's the last Mozart purchase you should ever have to make, unless you choose to supplement with higher quality recordings of certain pieces. Five stars all the way.
Very Good Recordings at a Bargain Price
Really Cool....mostly historical performances, but not all
