Editorial Review:
Amazon.com: Musical scholar that he is, Charles Mackerras adopts period performance practice, but opts for modern instruments. The Prague Chamber Orchestra is one of the world's best small ensembles. They play this music with impeccable wit, sophistication, and style. Of course, Mackerras himself studied in Prague--Mozart's musical home away from home--and has long enjoyed an excellent relationship with the city's orchestras and musicians. With swift tempos, employment of a harpsichord accompaniment, and all the repeats taken in each work, these finely honed interpretations offer a uniquely consistent view of Mozart's symphonic achievement. Telarc's superb sound allows the music to fall very gratefully on the ear. --Dave Hurwitz

This set, like the music played, is simply perfect. Every instrument in the orcehstra can be heard as a distinct voice -- this is partly a function of the wonderful sound quality on these discs, but more importantly it's a function of the razor sharp playing of the performers. And Mackerras makes the music dance and sing and soar like (I believe) Mozart's music always should. Everything about this set is just right. I've compared it carefully to Pinnok/English Concert and to ter Linden/Mozart ... Read More

While historical instuments are not used on these recordings the performances are still excellent and most particularly for the faster than usual tempos for the minuets. Lethargic and pompous minuet tempos are common with most recordings of music from the Classic Period but here we have minuet tempos that are related to the dance steps and the way it was generally danced in the period. While ignorance of the minuet as a dance is wide spread here we have recordings that rise above that limitation ... Read More

a music fans comment, Mackerras is good, BUT...
So I do not expect anyone to give my comment a "YES Paul's review was most helpful"
:-))
Mackerras is the most popular as far as modern voting goes. Popular votes never influence my decision in critiquing.
My fav in the complete is Bohm/Berlin
In the last 6 syms, it is Walter/Columbia/Sony which may be the finest I've heard, which is sadly Out of print. The Walter/Columbia is a bigger orch sound, which obviously is against ... Read More

I bought this item from Amazon and I am not sorry that I did. Actually it is good, very good, but I find something that I do not like: Why does this Sir McKerras play all the minuets so fast? Why does he such excessive repeating? The minuets in Haydn are all happy and full of joy, but in Mozart each one is quite different from another: some are happy, some are sad, some are childish, some are majestic, etc. Some of those Minuets seem to be written in order to be danced by Kings and so forth. Is Sir McKerras ... Read More

Mackerras has made some pretty amazing recordings these last years, from Beethoven's 9th to Mahler's 5th. This set has Mackerras conducting the Prague Chamber Orchestra, an ensemble that has definetely studied Mozart and studied him well. Most if not all the symphonies are first class but I have to point out the opening of the 25th and the finale of the 40th. I really rediscovered these pieces after hearing to these great recordings. The sound perfect as always with Telarc recordings. A must for all Mozart ... Read More
