These are crisp, muscular performances, which nevertheless have depth. There are some gems: The piano concerti (CDs 12-21), for example, with Derek Han and the Philharmonia Orchestra under Paul Freeman. If you are and have gaps, then the bulk of performances and recordings here are of very creditable quality and should not be dismissed because they're individual plants in an extensive garden. If you're not a particular aficionado of Mozart but nevertheless want to have all his music available, this represents a very good option indeed. Easily as high as in the other similar enterprises from Brilliant. One's assessment after extended listening is that the quality of performance is surprisingly high. Recording dates are from 1970 (CD 124 is the sixth and last of the volumes of Mozart's concert arias) to 2005. Though, surprisingly, the standard of recording varies less, encouragingly.

There are advantages of owning and listening to a complete edition like this. There is a further data CD-ROM with PDFs of texts etc. In a longer, cuboid, outer box with a "flip-over" lid each CD is packaged in its own simple cardboard sleeve genres (symphony, concerto, opera, chamber music etc) are color-coded. Although not so "complete" as perhaps Brilliant claims, it's still the best contender if you wish to have the vast majority of Mozart's works in one place. With the Philips "Complete Mozart Edition" all but unavailable commercially and costing several times as much as this reissue by Brilliant of their own comprehensive set, the latter represents an attractive option.
