5.0 out of 5 stars This More-zart CD should be 10 stars out of five., August 6, 1999

By	El Barto (Houston, TX USA) - See all my reviews

I have been listening to this CD for quite a while and I still like it. It never bores me. First, the transcriptions are done ingeniusly. Second, all the works are done by different musicians and thus the the play styles are all different. This is really QUITE A DIFFERENT More-zart. For example, Ruhe Sanft is an aria in 3/4, but it is beautifully transcribed in 4/4. At first listening, I didn't know what it was, but it sounded like I heard it before, and I couldn't figure it out. Only after I checked the song list and tried second careful listening, I was able to be aware that it was indeed "Ruhe Sanft mein holdes Leben". Every piece in this CD is beatiful. I am sorry that I can give only five stars. I will definitely give it 10 starts out of five. I wish there would be "A Different Mozart II".

5.0 out of 5 stars A Different Mozart -- The right title for a delightful CD., December 15, 1999

By	Russell Fanelli (Longmeadow, MA USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

If you love Mozart, try this album. Interpreters such as Bela Fleck give us a chance to appreciate the enduring beauty of the music, and all of the selections are beautiful in their own way. Each of the pieces is too short for my taste, but that does allow for many different interpreters on the CD. I'll definitely buy the follow up to this album.

4.0 out of 5 stars wonderful hommage without being too "new agey", March 9, 1999

By A Customer

This is a great cd for when you are looking for the essential experiance of classical music while still having it sound fresh and interesting.

The serenade(s)10 & 12 are particularly beautiful!
