This review is from: Mozart: String Quartets, KV 575, 589, 590 "Preußissche" (Audio CD)

this collection of mozart's final set of quartets is well worth the price. the performances are lively and quite entertaining. the performers interact extraordinarily well, reflecting quality practice time. sometimes practice truly does make perfect.

some folks are not as excited about these quartets, feeling they are not as inspired as "the hunt" or "dissonance," or as bouncy as the first set of quartets mozart composed. for me, though, they are mature and full of surprises. i enjoyed them immensely.

be aware that disc 2 features the second prussian quartet than a hodge-podge of filler feautring movements from other famous quartets, which is nice, but is what it is--filler.

still a good bargain and a great way to get these quartets as a set.
