Highly recommended: a great bargain

(5 out of 5 stars)

"Bohm's integral recording of the Mozart Wind Concertos, supplemented with some String and Wind Serenades presented in this DG 7 disc set, is a great bargain at around $40.00, and highly recommended by me.



In this set, you get the Clarinet, Flute No. 1, Oboe, Bassoon, Horn 1-4,

Flute/Harp Concertos; Eine Kleine Nachtmusik, Posthorn Serenade, Haffner Serenade, Serenata Notturna, and Wind Divertimenti (some without Bohm's direction), in one neat little package. The Vienna Philharmonic is employed in the Concertos and Eine Kleine Nachtmusik; the Berlin Philharmonic in the Posthorn, Notturna, and Haffner Serenades.



Recorded in the 1970s in beautifully spread stereo sound, these are among DG's best sounding recordings: better than many new Digital issues. There is a warmth and purity which will make you forget the cares of the day or storminess of our times. Bohm had just the right feeling for Mozart, and it is warm, loving and sensitive, without being sentimental.



I cannot say enough positive about these recordings, or Bohm's Berlin Philharmonic Mozart Symphonies, just reissued by DG in a similar "Collector's Edition" to this one. If you want to make a great investment, get this, + the Bohm/Berlin Mozart Symphonies (10 CDs), and Bohm's DG DVD release of Mozart Symphonies (released in July, 2006) which has live and studio recordings of 13 of Mozart's Symphonies with the Vienna Philharmonic (1, 25, 28, 29, 31, 34, 35, 36, 38, 40, 41) and Vienna Symphony (33, 39)from 1969-78, with great sound and picture quality.



Highly recommended."
