Mozart Piano Concertos


I just saw #10 at the Seattle Symphony and it rekindled my enjoyment of the piano concertos. I'm wanting to put together a pretty good collection of these great works. Can anyone recommend either/or box sets or exemplary pieces? Thanks.

If you want to get the widest possible exposure to Mozart in a fell swoop, try the 170 CD set of The Mozart Complete Works on the Brilliant Classics label (92540). . . for $154.99 at ArcOfMusic. Guido
Hi Gawdbless. . . Brilliant Classics is a fascinating little label. . . similar in concept to Naxos perhaps. . . their artists are not usually well known. . .. sometimes their performances are only so so, other time they are stunning.
When they do not have a new performance in their kit, they fall back to licensing classic performances from the past. I have the Bach set on 156 CDs and like it a lot. It is my understanding that the Mozart may be even better, and the complete Beethoven set even more so.
If nothing else, these are fantastic documentaries of an author's output. . . may be they are meant more for the music lover than the 'audiophile' in search of sonic spectaculars. . . but when I listen to some of the organ works by J.S. Bach. . . I remain extremely impressed. GUido
