4 out of 5 stars A good bargain.......2007-07-11

A bargain set, which whilst quirkily performed (in places), is a never-the-less continually entertaining to re-visit.

5 out of 5 stars Great compilation of Mozart!.......2007-01-12

If you want to get the best of Mozart with a fabulous composer than this cd is the one for you. I am not a music critic, just a biology major who studies well listening to these classics -- they really help keep me focused!! Awsome symphonies at a great price -- what could be better?!?!

4 out of 5 stars Good collection.......2006-12-21

I particularly found Symphonies 25 and 40 to be very nice to listen to. The the rest of them I found to be ok, maybe since I am not a big fan of classical music. I bought this cd because I went to a symphony that played Mozart no. 25 which I enjoyed very much. Hence I decided to try out his other compositions.

4 out of 5 stars Retrograde Mozart with undeniable heart.......2005-12-04

Leonard Bernstein thought that every composer was a romantic because he was. These big, heart-on-sleeve performances of Mozart's great late symphonies use the Vienna Phil. at almost full force--they could slip into the Brahms First without adding personnel. Bernstein lived long enough to theoretically be influenced by the period-instrument movement, but his allegiance never shifted. He belongs with Karajan and Bohm as the last conductors for whom Mozart should sound "important."

At its best, this approach yields romantic depth, perhaps not what Mozart intended but valid in its way. I would rather listen to Bernstein's Mozart symphonies than Karajan's (tending to be slick and glossy, although better than reputed) or Bohm's (brisk and faceless). A new listener should know in advance that the slow movements will be expressively drawn out and the minuets often slow and heavy-footed (these dancers are wearing boots). But Bernstein believes in this music, and he is always genuine. That ocunts for a lot with a composer who used to be played as if he were a porcelain doll and is now too often played as if his divine music were written by a Roccoco computer. Four stars.

5 out of 5 stars Mozart: The Great Late Symphonies.......2004-06-16

What a great album we have here. Leonard Bernstein conducts the later symphonies of Mozart, which are considered to be his most mature and his greatest works for full orchestra. This album is worth the price and a treasure to own for your extensive classical music collection. If you appreciate classical music, you'll truly enjoy this album. Everyone knows that Leonar Bernstein ranks among one of the best conductors of the 20th century, right up there with the great names of Herbert Von Karajan, Bruno Walter, Sir Neville Marriner, all who have held their own when it comes to Mozart's music. Karajan I feel is not quite as good when it comes to Mozart's symphonic works. Bruno Walter and Sir Neville Marriner have long surpassed Karajan in the area of Mozart symphonies. Indeed, if you get the chance be sure to check out symphonies conducted by either Bruno Walter or Sir Neville Marriner. Marriner and the Acadamy Of Saint Martin In The Fields did mostly Mozart and provided the music of the 1984 Milos Forman film Amadeus.

The reason this album is so good is Leonard Bernstein conducting. As a conductor and a musically atuned soul, he seems to really interpret these symphonies perfectly. He gets Mozart. He has captured every note, every vibrato, roulade, flowing lines and bouncy but balanced joy in every allegro movement, such as the first movement of the Prague Symphony No. 38. For contrast, he understood the substance and darkness that seems to be written into the Allegro of the Symphony No. 25. The first movement is meant to sound furious, anguished and complex, and fast in a darker sort of mood. It's one of those rare moments in which Mozart foreshadows the Romantic Era that would begin with Beethoven. Mozart would also do this with the andante of his 21st piano concerto and the opening movement of the Piano Concerto No. 20. The last symphonies 40 and 41, "Haffner" and "Jupiter" are regarded as Mozart's most mature works for the symphony. The orchestra is more panoramic and produces a less lighter texture. The music is a fully developed Mozart in his later years. The Jupiter is his grandest. Its name conjures up the vastness of the planet Jupiter or the majesty of the Roman god Jupiter. Get this album if you're a fan of Mozart and a fan of the conductor Leonard Bernstein who aptly conducted the New York Philharmonic for many years and the Berlin Philharmonic towards the end of his life.

    This was the set that really got the "authentic instrument" craze going. It was a big, ambitious project that promised a fresh look at familiar music, as well as lots of exciting new discoveries. Christopher Hogwood tailored his forces to match what we know of the actual size and constitution of the orchestras of the period, and since Mozart wrote symphonies in every country in Europe, including England, France, Italy, Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia, the result is practically a blueprint of 18th-century orchestral practice. Then everyone else got into the act, and these performances sort of fell off the musical map. Listening to them again, one finds they hold up rather well. There's still the sense of discovery, and of course the music itself is glorious. At budget price, this is history in sound. --David Hurwitz

    4 out of 5 stars The original, original instrument take.......2007-05-03

    A few months ago I bought the Trevor Pinnock Mozart Complete Symphonies (11 cds) and the 250th Anniversary Edition Mozart Symphonies (8 cds) that is not quite a complete symphony cycle. The Anniversary Edition features Harnoncourt on about 5 of the 8 discs. I also have his two CD twofers that cover the early symphonies. So, I more or less ended up with two complete renditions of Mozart's symphonies. I first bought the Harnoncourt early symphony 2fer and enjoyed it enough to buy volume two. This led me to buy the 250 Anniversay 8 cd set. I have not in the least regretted these purchases!

    Harnoncourt is the most radical of these three original instrument takes on Mozart, especially in the late symphonies. For example, listen to symphony 29 by each of these three sets and compare them to the Karl Bohm benchmark 29th. Harnoncourt is Ricky Racer and Bohm is Mr. Serene and Majestic.

    Obviously, price is only one of the factors in buying. The AAM costs more but has almost twice the music. The AAM set is probably the more collectable since they got there first. This set was issued in multiple lp boxes way back when and I recently watched just one of these boxes, unopened, go for over 80 bucks at EBAY.

    There really is quite a sound difference between modern and original instruments. Rhapsody has the Mozart Horn Concertos posted by the AAM using an apparently valveless horn. Listen to this very squeaky rendition and compare it to Brain's to get a feel for the difference. They also have the Philips Complete Mozart Piano Concerto box that features a pianoforte on disc one of concertos 1 to 4. This instrument sounds more like a harpsichord than a piano and took some adjusting to get used to. The Smithsonian put out on vinyl (circa 1980) The Six Brandenburg Concerti by Bach on original instruments. The booklet gives quite a bit of info on the differences in instruments between modern and original. Here are a few snippets: "The brass instruments were, until the 19th century, valveless." This reduced the number of notes available. "The wind instruments of Bach's time had few keys--the transverse flute had one, the oboe two or three, and the bassoon three--calling for contrived fingerings to cover the full chromatic scale." "The music produced by a Baroque bow is characteristically tapered in shape, with great potential for a lively distinction between notes."

    The bottom line for me is that Mozart, when well played, conducted, and recorded, sounds great--be it original instruments or modern. Having both modern and original choices is great. Life is wonderful with changes in flavor. I have only listened once to the AAM Mozart symphonies and have not done a compare and contrast between these and Pinnock's, etc. I was impressed by the consistency in performance and that being very good. It is really quite a feat to put out 19 cds and have them sound great from stem to stern. As an ADD recording, these give the DDDs a run for the money. The AAM Mozart Symphony cycle is posted at Rhapsody so you can look before you leap if you are in the market.

    5 out of 5 stars The most complete set of Mozart symphonies ever recorded.......2006-08-10

    This massive 19 CD collection contains 71 symphonies!

    Yes, all 41 of the usual symphonies are here, but another 27 symphonic works are presented, as well as alternative versions of symphonies Nos. 31, 35 & 40. The works are all recorded on period instruments (or modern copies of 18th century instruments) and the orchestra is accompanied throughout by harpsichord continuo. The sounds of the various sections of the orchestra are full of colour and character - the wind and brass players, in particular, make this set such a delightful one.

    I also have the Pinnock recording, which contains only the standard 41 symphonies and it is every bit as good. I can really make up my mind which I prefer, although Pinnock's reading of symphony No. 40 is sublime - particularly in the beautiful slow movement. However, Hogwood and his Academy of Ancient Music play almost all these symphonies with great gusto and style. As another reviewer said, Hogwood allows his musicians to simply play the music and let Mozart's music live in a natural and "organic" way, with minimal interference from the conductor.

    Each work tells a story and the recordings of these works remind us of the fact that Mozart wasn't some sort of proto-Beethoven, rather, his music was more like the culmination of many 18th century currents, trends and ideas - "Baroque music on steroids", even! ;-))

    This is a set which is very close to my heart and I consider it one of the treasures in my home. I return to it often - at any time of the day or night.

    5 out of 5 stars Indispensable .......2004-11-13

    This set is indispensable for anyone who seriously wants to have a complete Mozart collection. It contains every symphonic work written by Mozart, including second versions of certain late symphonies.

    The playing is "alive" and fresh, the sound is full, warm and clear. What you get is not Hogwood's "interpretation"...but music and just the music, this guy understands Mozart and just lets these musicians play with joy, spontaneity, meaning and feeling. I didn't think they would be so good! There are times when you don't even notice that they're playing on period instruments.

    This set is completely satisfying and I'm glad I own it. It's a pricy box set, but totally worth it...try to find it used and bask in the glory of Mozart.

    3 out of 5 stars Ok, but...........2004-06-30

    I will qualify this review by saying that I have not by any means listened to every single symphony on this recording. I listened to several of the symphonies from this set for a conducting class, and spent a considerable amount of time comparing them with other recordings for phrase structure, dynamics, etc. My conclusion:

    Overall, I am personally just not impressed by Hogwood. His handling of the phrases is rough, and the music just doesn't seem polished. Occasionally the balance is questionable (for example, several clarinet passages in the first movement of the 39th stick out), and at other points I get the impression that he put little planning into the organization of strong and weak bars. Perhaps it is mostly personal preference, but other conductors really do sound better.

    I think that this recording has its place, as there are few boxed sets of all of Mozart's symphonies available, and certainly there was some groundbreaking period instrument work here. I would, however, strongly recommend that anyone considering purchasing this set actually obtain a copy first from a library to decide if this is really what they want.

    5 out of 5 stars A milestone set, and worthy of all praise.......2004-04-29

    In the 1970s, the Hungarian conductor Antal Dorati recorded all of the 104 symphonies of Franz Joseph Haydn (Amazon asin # B0000042DP). The era of "epic" integral collections was ignited. Many thought the vast majority of Haydn's symphonies would be boring, cookie-cutter works rolled out in almost assembly-line fashion. But Dorati, with excellent help from the Haydn scholar H. C. Robbins Landon, would disprove all of that, and show that there is not a dud in the whole collection. And Dorati's readings have stood the test of time.

    Dorati's achievement marked the beginning of an ea that in the next 2 decades would see complete integral sets of the works of every major composer, culminating ultimately in the 1980s with Phiips complete Mozart Edition.

    Shortly after Dorati finished his massive project, the Academy of Ancient Music embarked on a complete traversal of all of the "symphonies" of Mozart on period instruments, the currently reviewed item. Not just the traditional 41, but also many lesser know works. More fascinating music was unearthed. But, the milestone of this set is not the discovery of forgotten masterpieces. That had become a common daily occurence. It was the period instrument movement instead that was set free by Hogwood's achievement. With this project, Hogwood did for period instruments what Dorati did for integral cycles of lesser known works. The period instrument movement had been around for a long time. But it never quite could hit "mainstream" until Hogwood made these recordings. And ever since, period instruments have flourished.

    There are better recordings of many of the works in this set, both on period instruments and conventional instruments. But the consistency that runs through the set brings an appreciation for Mozart's Symphonies that is unparallelled.

    The set is competitively priced, the sound is very good throughout, there is decent documentation.

    For an entire generation of Mozart lovers, Walter's interpretations were the ultimate in sophistication and elegance, and so they remain. They still sound totally natural and inevitable, with a breadth of phrasing and very human warmth that points up the vocal nature of Mozart's melodic inspiration. Although the mono sound has dated, these performances are like old friends, and you'll welcome them in your collection. --David Hurwitz

    5 out of 5 stars I think more highly of Walter's New York Mozart than some..........2007-06-30

    I think more highly of Bruno Walter's New York Philharmonic Mozart Symphonies than some, and I bought these discs when they came on the US market in 1996. True, they are MONO, and sometimes the sound is a little fierce and cramped, but generally the sound is very good, there is no tape wow or flutter to create an unpleasant sound, and the New York Philharmonic play with great precision under Walter's leadership. These were recorded in 1953-54, just before stereo recordings were being widely made and marketed. If you want to hear Walter conducting Mozart 25, 28, or 29, this is the only game in existence. Sony's engineers have done an excellent remastering job.

    Walter also recorded Mozart Symphonies 35, 36, 38, 39, 40 and 41 with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra, Los Angeles, made up of freelance studio musicians and some members of the Los Angeles Philharmonic, in 1959/60, in stereo. Walter's Los Angeles cycle is more difficult to find as I write this, but perhaps SonyBMG will reissue it.

    Walter's tempos are generally faster in New York than they would be later on in Los Angeles, but either way he gives us great Mozart: loving and affectionate, and very sensitive to line and phrase. Bruno Walter (1876-1962) was one of the great Mozart conductors, along with Thomas Beecham, Karl Bohm, Otto Klemperer, and George Szell. Recommended enthusiastically.

    5 out of 5 stars Breathtaking Mozart from Walter in New York.......2006-03-15

    Bruno Walter was a Mozart specialist and heir to the Viennese performance tradition (he was born less than a century after Mozart's death). These mono recordings date from 1954 (Sym. #25, 28, 29) and 1953 (Sym. #35), recorded in excellent sound for their era thanks to the location at Columbia's 30th St. studio. Fitting four symphonies on a single 73 min. CD requires an absence of repeats and almost no pause between movements--the latter is a bit disconcerting at first.

    Walter's tempos are much less relaxed than in his classic stereo readings from his last years in Hollywood. That period produced great Mozazrt recordings, too, but one feels extra vigor and alertness in the earlier recordings, and the playing from the NY Phil. is a notch more expert and vivacious than what we get from the Columbia Symphony. Anyone familiar with Walter's image as a mellow, fuzzy conductor will be surprised at how vital these readings are--the opening allegro of the "little G minor" Sym. 25 is breathtaking, not simply for being fast but for its inner life and intensity. These qualities hold good throughout. To modern ears the minuets are a bit lumpy and the slow movements overly romantic, but within those limits these are timeless interpretations, one of the glories of Walter's discography.

    5 out of 5 stars Magnificent Mozart that helps set Walter's reputation straight.......2006-02-26

    Bruno Walter is of course the conductor of genteel Mozart, with thick billowing clouds of sound and a large rotund character. Don't look for depth in Walter; look for the jovial character of easy Viennese living. For the guts and grit, you have to go to HIP performances, because they dig under the grace and get to the fire, right? Right?

    Well, like many myths, this one is debunked when one looks a little deeper. Actually, you don't have to look much deeper at all. This recording alone should persuade anyone that Walter could deliver deeper, more demonic Mozart than is commonly believed. This is because most of Walter's recordings known to us today are from his stereo period, right before he died. Indeed in his last years he was mellower and less spontaneous.

    But in these and other earlier readings, we have a door to a Walter many people today aren't familiar with--slashing accents, brisk tempi, a sound that, while certainly not thin, is lithe and agile. Just listen to the opening movement of No. 29, for example--the strings practically leap up and down with excitement, and the phrasing is supple and animated in a way you rarely hear today--the Columbia Symphony Orchestra practically sounds Viennese! Slow movements in this set are deep and serene, with a naturalness of phrasing modern ensembles can't match. More noteworthy, however, is the dark side in many of these recordings, such as the "little" G minor symphony. This is not the type of temperment you'd expect from the genial old man we've all come to know, but it was there. And who cares if these recordings are "correct" or not. Today's scholarship will change in 40 years too, and many of today's Gardiner and Hogwood recordings will be looked upon as relics someday.

    Sony has made things a bit confusing here. Over time they have released both Walter's later stereo Columbia Mozart readings and these earlier mono recordings, several different ways. You may think you already have "these" recordings, only to find you have one set but not the other. If I could have only one, it would be the earlier, mono recordings. Sure the sound isn't quite as good (though it's very good in general) and sure, repeats are skipped--repeat-skipping was the norm of the day. Of the later stereo recordings, only No. 35 compares with, and probably even surpasses, this reading for grandeur and nobility.

    There are other Sony recordings in this series of Walter's mono Mozart symphonies, including one fascinating disc where he rehearses the entire Linz symphony bar for bar. I highly recommend them all. But if you are confronted with a choice between these mono performances and the later stereo recordings in better sound (and not all that much better, actually, save they are in stereo), I'd recommend you choose these in a heartbeat. And be prepared for some passionate Mozart playing you rarely hear in this Mozart-is-good-for-your-brain age.

    4 out of 5 stars Vintage Mozart!.......2002-07-27

    Despite the poor rating by a few of other reviewers I went ahead and bought this GEM.These are quite simply among the finest performances of these delightful symphonies.The sound quality,being a mono recording,is below par(that is why 4 stars)but still is quite serviceable.Now let us come to the performances-Symphony no25 opens enegetically with a nice rhythmic thrust and dash and the strings are outstanding.The slow movement that follows is a caressing reverie with a tinge of regret beautifully shaped.the third movement,a minuet starts on a bright note with the strings playing a nice rhthmic Theme leading to a celestial Oboe theme taken up by the woodwinds.The Legendary Walter's signature is quite in evidence,in that he does not miss to point to some of these inner voices which would normally get drowned in other breezy performances by lesser conductors.The final movement is given a good thrust and the Symphony comes to a triumphant finish.
    The other symphonies (nos 28,29 and 35)are simply outstanding.I need not go into their virtues.Suffice it to say that Bruno walter was one of the greatest conductors of Mozart,besides Karl Bohm and Peter Maag.I also wish to draw attention to the other Great Performances of Bruno Walter of the Mozart Symphonies nos 36and 38,39,40,41.Also listen to Walter's Eine Kleine Nacht Music and other overtures.They are all peerless readings.Just what is so special about them?I will quote the Great Maestro"My task in performing Mozart had become clear to me:Every characteristic and truthful detail must be given powerful dramatic expression without impairing the vocal and orchestral beauty.This beauty permitted no exaggeration in Dynamics and Tempo....The problem therefore consisted in achieving all fulness of expression within the limits prescribed by beauty and in resolutely filling that beauty with musical and Dramatic Power without putting an earthly burden upon its unearthly lightness".
    I have other recordings of these pieces ,some of the modern recordings including Barry Wordsworth(Very Good performances)on the Naxos Label.Yet Walter's Mozart has a magic all its own and that is what plays on my CD player most of the time!
    I strongly recommend that you give yourself a Nice Treat!

    4 out of 5 stars Definitive Reading. Some reservations though........2002-02-07

    For the listener accustomed to Bruno Walter's CBS/Sony recordings, the sonic qualities of this disc may disappoint.
    These recordings, made in New York some 7-8 years before Walter's landmark recordings with the Columbia Symphony Orchestra in Hollywood, are not up to the same recording quality of the later discs.

    On interprative grounds these recordings are worthy of note for the serious collector of Mozart or Bruno Walter recordings. Walter's approach is distinctive and these recordings would complement other definitive readings of these works such as Mackerras/Prague CO, or Karajan/VPO (No. 35), or Szell/Cleveland (No. 35). The mono recordings, though not as warm as they could be, offer an ample sound and good detail.

    Finally you get four symphonies on one disc. The repeats are not followed (a fact of life for many LP-era recordings). Yet no other offering on the market gives you these four symphonies, on one disc, at mid-price: a real boon for serious collectors.

    Another fine entry in what would be a worthwhile Mozart series even if it weren't offered at budget price. Barry Wordsworth and his band of hardy Eastern Europeans offer performances strong on rhythmic point, admirably transparent, sensitive, yet unaffected. There's real character in the wind playing, along with a fine sense of the music's charm, as well as its occasional anxiety. Check these performances out. --David Hurwitz

    4 out of 5 stars Splendid.......2004-10-02

    Although the woodwind (flute!) on this recording is rather 'breathy' and the recorded sound not as spacious as, for example, the Peter Maag 'Prague' on Arts (as well being clearly in an empty hall with a certain amount of 'echo'), the total impression made is a very good one, with Barry Wordsworth motivating the Capella Istropolitana to a pep-filled performance in the faster movements and some pleasant quieter moments in the andantes. Obviously, it is the 'Prague' symphony which is the showpiece here, and it is given a splendid run, but symphonies 29 and 30 should not be underestimated: I, for one, was grateful that they were included on this CD as I might otherwise never have heard them. Doubtless, there may be higher-priced recordings that top this one, but as a budget-priced introduction to Mozart's symphonies this CD deserves at least four stars.

    5 out of 5 stars The Ultimate Prague Symphony?.......1999-12-18

    First of all, it is my opinion that Mozart is the greatest of all composers, ever, period. His music is sheer beauty, crafted with an almost indefinable complexity that is equal parts joy, power, urgency and grace. No one has ever managed to duplicate his vision.

    I also believe that Symphony No. 38 in D Major ("Prague") is arguably Mozart's greatest achievement. I have roughly 20 different versions of said symphony (Bohm, Marriner, Krips, etc.) -- and most of them are very fine, indeed.

    Curiously, it is this particular recording that I keep coming back to when I want to hear "the" version of the Prague. Something very special has been captured on this immaculate sounding Naxos budget disc.

    Barry Wordsworth conducts the Capella Istropolitana with the surety of a seasoned veteran. The playing is dramatic but never overstated, blissful without succumbing to cloying sweetness. There is a precise and satisfying punctuation to the symphony's resolving phrases that accentuates Mozart's genius for fitting elements together perfectly in his music.

    I highly recommend this wonderful disc.

      Klemperer's Mozart recordings have been available almost without a break since their original LP releases. It's not hard to see why, since he conducted Mozart with authority, never lapsing into either heavy-handed Romanticism or its opposite, treating the music like a fragile piece of porcelain. Klemperer's sturdy rhythms make even some of his slow dance-based movements seem faster than they actually are. Period performance buffs will still feel this big-band Mozart is too heavy but the more open-minded will appreciate the way Klemperer brings the winds forward to create appropriate balances with the strings. The conductor's late recordings could be variable affairs, but for the most part these glow with the ardor of his love for the composer and his music. The Philharmonia (and its successor, the New Philharmonia) are in top form, with the winds - in solo turns or as a section--particularly outstanding. Klemperer's muscular directness yields a set that will never be out of fashion, especially in this Great Recordings of the Century remastering in which the original recordings don't sound their age. --Dan Davis

      5 out of 5 stars Newly discovered rarity here.......2006-12-27

      At first I thought this Great Performances reissue of Otto Klemperer's Mozart symphony recordings was just another repackaging by EMI of music that was already in my collection. But then a few words on the track listing told me otherwise.

      In 1956, Klemperer and the Philharmonia Orchestra recorded the second album in what was planned to be a major collection of Mozart symphony records, the Symphonies #38 "Prague" and #39. This monaural recording was issued to critical acclaim and Klemperer's Mozart sessions continued, but beginning with the next, the Symphonies 25 and 40, the master tapes were done in stereo. Commercially in that era, having the #38 and #39 in mono just would not do, so in 1962, EMI and Klemperer redid the #38 and #39 in stereo.

      The original performance was then deleted from the catalogues and forgotten by EMI, but not by many who admired Klemperer's music-making, preferred the earlier performances, and who cherished their now rarely-found LPs of the original 1956 recordings.

      The current Great Performances reissue resurrects half of that original issue. To my great surprise, the Symphony #39 turns out to have been originally master-taped in STEREO, the stereo tape apparently recently rediscovered by EMI in its vaults; this seems to be EMI's justification for including it in this new reissue. It was done in fine stereo sound; I'm glad to hear it this way for the first time, and happy to have it in my collection, though Klemperer "completists" may well balk at having to buy the entire set to get a "new" version of this one performance. Perhaps, as in the case of Klemperer's first (and famous) 1955 EMI record of the Beethoven Symphony #7, EMI will issue the 1956 stereo Mozart #39 separately some day. But I decided not to take the chance, in case they don't!

      I do regret that the 1956 recording of the Symphony #38 isn't included; apparently EMI didn't turn up a stereo master tape of that one. Also I regret that EMI could not find space for Klemperer's recording of Mozart's #36 "Linz", which was originally in stereo and an integral part of the collected view of Mozart by a great (perhaps THE greatest) conductor of the twentieth century.

          This is a very strange CD. The label is basically unknown to most people. Worse than that, there is no conductor or orchestra named. However, the performances are excellent, some of the finest Mozart symphony performances you will ever hear. The playing is warm and spontaneous. There are no annoying mannerisms. It is just wonderful Mozart and very inexpensive.
