A great many young people like myself are interested in Classical music, but it can be daunting and confusing, what with all the versions out there! This album was my first classical buy, and it won me over! "Overture to the Marriage of Figaro" explodes, starting it all off with a bang. The album gradually softens, yet stays light and airy like a bubbling glass of champagne until wrapping up with a warm conclusion. listen to me! I sound like i was paid to do this! [ : ) Just give this a shot, especially if you know you like classical but aren't sure what to get!

This CD is the perfect upbeat collection of Mozart. Anyone that loved the movie, will love this CD. It truly showcases his genius and will keep you moving all morning long.

This is probably the most enjoyable recording of Mozart I have heard. The recording quality phillips provides is excellent, and provides a collection of Mozart's most delightful melodies. Great for relaxation or an introduction to classical music.

If you are the type who is interested in classical music but doesn't quite know where to start - or are intimidated by all the choices or confusing musical terminology - then the Philips "Set Your Life to Music" series is ideal. These 20-or-so collections select some of Classical Music's finest and most lyrical music that are easily enjoyed by most anyone. While such compilation CD's and the cute cover art can be rather irritating to a few veteran classical music fans (claiming somehow it "dumbs down" classical music), the average person newer to classical music should care less about such attitudes and likely find this collection most enjoyable and inspiring to learn more about classical music.

This Mozart collection is a quality introduction to Mozart - and one of the better ones in the series. Where other Mozart CD's in the series assemble quieter, slower music, this compliation is energetic and fast-paced. Among all classical music, Mozart (and most of the music of the earlier Baroque-era like Bach) is the "easiest on the ear" with its always pleasant, melody-rich tones. And these fine and varied selections on this disc present Mozart at his most festive, creative and full of life. What you will not hear in such music of Mozart are the often-disturbing tones or jarring sounds of later composers. This is partly what makes such collections more 'easily accessible' to the newer listener.

The variety here is excellent: brilliant opera overtures (but no singing), energetic symphonies and concertos, sprightly serenades (festive outdoor party music), cheerful divertimentos (pleasant background music for dinners and galas) and charming piano sonatas (solo piano music). So, such variety also serves as an introduction to the various types of music Mozart wrote - so you can see what you like most and perhaps pursue additional music in that category. Both the sound quality and performers are top-notch to make this Mozart collection a high-quality, lively, and naturally-energizing experience ideally suited to the earlier hours of the day or afternoon. With such invigorating music, you might skip the coffee. Overall, a fine introduction to Mozart and one of the better CD's in this Philip's series.

I had this on a cassette and wore it out.I would play this for a mood boost in the morning,and my friends enjoyed it too.If you want to be more productive,
start your day with this.

My dear late aunt gave me the CD "Mozart in the Morning" many years ago. A great gift to receive and to give, Mozart inspires, enthralls, soothes, invigorates and feeds the mind, body and the soul of the listener. A few years ago someone absconded with my copy along with a great Bach sampler my aunt had given me the same year. Glad I found a replacement copy of "MITM" on Amazon am still looking for the Bach sampler that got away. In another classical vein---If you like the blues ala Clapton and Mayall circa 1965, please check out our channel on youtube--- johnnyguitar335

Mozart in the Morning; very nice morning classical music, you will love this music in the morning hours, and throughout the day. glad i purchased it.

'Mozart in the Morning' is a fantastic intro to Mozart's most energetic and catchy works. If you've ever been curious to find out what all the hoopla is over Mozart's music, buy this CD. If you already know and love Mozart, buy this CD, because it's perfect for a) accompanying those menial household tasks, b) cranking on your car stereo, or c) just listening for pure pleasure.

Philips sure put together the right collection of pieces here. Nearly all songs are under five minutes in length, a really good way to introduce yourself to and 'taste' a delicious mix of solo piano, flute and horn concertos, and various chamber works by genius Mozart.

This is a CD where I actually have a hard time naming my favorite cut! Five stars!

After listening to samples online - couldnt decide which to purchase. So, I bought 3 and am not disappointed. They are all really good listening.
