5.0 out of 5 stars Truly Magnificent!, May 28, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Mozart Experience [Box Set] (Audio CD)

When it comes to to Mozart, I am very picky, to say the least. Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of Saint Martins-in-the-Fields has, with the exception of 2 or 3 times, always come through with remarkable recordings. The Mozart Experience is truly wonderful. I particularly enjoyed the two piano concertos K.466 and K.467 (absolutely magnificent, BRAVO!) My 10 year old daughter enjoys the Concerto for Flute and Harp and, of course, Eine Klein Nachtmusik. Mozart would be pleased to hear his music treated so kindly. In that respect, he would most likely be quite amused by this world class conductor and orchestra using 21 plus minutes of recording time to perform his Musical Joke. I guess the jokes is on us. P.S. I love you Wolfie - I kiss your wonderful hands 10,000 times!
