This review is from: Music Minus One Piano: Mozart Concerto No. 21 in C major, KV467 'Elvira Madigan' (Book & 2 CDs) (Music Minus One (Numbered)) (Paperback)

This set is quite helpful. The slower CD is excellent for practice, and the performance CD just slightly faster. I enjoyed working with this set. I have 3 reservations:
1. At the end of the second movement, there is no ritardando. Many pianists slow down a bit at the end of this movement, though Mozart did not write the ritardando into his manuscript.
2. The tempo is not quite strict, especially in the 2nd movement; it slows down just slightly in unforeseen places, so the pianist has to adjust to the CD.
3. The written material does not seem to me to be on high-quality paper, and I could locate no helpful performance notes.
Despite these reservations, this is a solid set that will help any aspiring pianist learn this concerto. The dynamic changes are credible, and the orchestra performs professionally. In total, I endorse this CD set.
