(2 out of 5 stars)

"These performances are well done but very dull. They almost completely lack the panache and style that makes Mozart's party music endearing to 21st century ears.



Each of the four Divertimenti on the first CD -- Nos. 8, 13, 14 and 16 -- is tastefully done but boring. The great Serenad 11, K. 375, is better but not enough to save this collection. Serenade 12, K. 388, lacks the drama necessary in this music and fails in the same way as most of the others.



I'd say Sony made a wise decision withdrawing this set, where everything is played well and the sound is outstanding. Unfortunately, there is not a single memorable performance in this collection, which is utterly forgettable."
