Great Deal to get introduced to Mozart's Music.,
By
This review is from: The 99 Most Essential Mozart Masterpieces (MP3 Download)
This is a fantastic deal, no question.
Just consider: 1)The performers are not of top rank - although they are perfectly adequate. Just not the best, so you aren't going to get a transcendent or particularly uniquely interesting performance. 2) You don't hear complete works - just movements. This isn't much of a problem if you are just popping this into your iPod, and putting it on random play along with your Coldplay and Metallica. 3)The excerpts are the ones you hear the most already, so if you are like me, the music isn't exactly fresh. But I am a bit of Classical Music Geek. If you want to get exposed to Mozart's repertoire, this a great way to do it - but use it as a sampler - find out what you really like, and then track down a better recording of it and then listen to the complete work. Life's too short to spend your time listening to mediocrity. Despite the above caveats, I am going to give this 5 stars, because the deal is just so spanking good.

Who can't enjoy Mozart?,

There is no question about the beauty in Mozart's music. Thus no
comments there. Regarding the collection: a great one. Definitely worths its price. Just consider the time it would take to convert your Mozart CDs into a collection like this one. (I bought the collection when Amazon had a $3.99 promotion but even the regular price worths it). Amazon.com's music download is a breeze despite its insistence on using its own downloading program. The program installs itself and will download all songs (MP3) and stores them under a special folder in your Music folder (directory).

A good introduction of the best pieces, but not outstanding. Great for the value, though.,

I just bought this for a daily special of around $2.99 - even at the normal price of 7.99 it's a great steal. No, it's not the best of the best here. They are collected recordings of parts of several complete works. However, they are the most well-known of his repertoire, and for the price it simply can't be beat. This is great for an introduction to Mozart if you don't know where to start. Highly recommended, unless you are an experienced listener...in which case you probably already have the better recordings.
