CD Reviews

Worthwhile as an Anthology

Johannes Climacus | Beverly, Massachusetts | 08/31/2007

(3 out of 5 stars)

"A useful anthology of mostly minor but (with some exceptions) undeservedly neglected Mozart. Recordings of these works are hard to find "under one roof," so this issue has at least that advantage. Klien plays cleanly (pun intended), though not always with optimal charm. The sound is variable: warm and dry acoustics alternate distractingly. But the most serious deficiency is that there are no breaks between tracks, so that one piece in one style merges irritatingly into another piece in a totally different style. This should have been corrected--or did the producers not recognize the problem? Worthwhile for those seeking this repertoire in a bargain edition; but one can do better elsewhere (I remind my readers that Gieseking's classic EMI Mozart cycle, which includes the variations and shorter pieces, is still available)."
