Amazing pianism, the essence of Mozart

Pav | Prague, Czech Republic | 05/11/2009

(5 out of 5 stars)

"As the other reviewer mentioned, this recording was not in-print for a while. And yet it is an amazing disc. I love Brendel's Mozart, I think Maria João Pires' integral (at DG as well) represents the most accomplished and natural Mozart. I think Friedrich Gulda's Mozart from the recently resuscitated master-tapes is wonderful in their straightforward and yet nuanced approach. The Kempff's Mozart interpretations collected on this disc are irreplaceable in their musical singularity. The recorded sound is wonderful. Grab it before it disappears from the catalog again!"
