Excellent Mozart recording
Sergey Sh. | Moscow Russia | 08/01/2000
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Karajan's conducting of divertimentos KV136-138 is superior one. Tempos, accents, phrasing are excellent and playing of BPO strings are the best. The performance is inspired one. Also the performance of Serenata Noturna KV 239 is lustrous too. As to Eine Kleine Nachtmusic KV 525 the performance is interesting especially by the final part where at coda the conductor accents a counterpoint which for an instant turns this music by dark side reminding us of the Don Giovanni final. Among the recordings to compete with discussed above I can mention the Ton Koopman's recording of KV 136-138 on periodic instruments (Erato) and another later Karajan's recording of KV 525 (Polygram)."
Heavenly Mozart
W. M. Robbins | The Beautiful Blue Ridge | 10/29/2002
(5 out of 5 stars)

"Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik has always been a favorite piece, and I was overjoyed to find this recording conducted by my favorite conductor, Herbert Von Karajan. Karajan's brilliant conducting once again inspires the Berliner Philharmoniker to perform beautifully.
Karl Bohm said of Mozart's music "It has the effect of a fountain of youth," and that is the best way to describe these works. I always find my spirits lifted, my mind rejuvenated when listening to these performances.
Eine Kleine Nachtmusik is done here by the BPO as well as I have ever heard it done, and is the gem of this CD. Seranata Notturna is equally impressive. The three Divertimentos are wonderful performances as well.
Deutsche Grammaphon's fantastic digital mastering allows you to enjoy every note, with virtually no tape hiss, etc.- a tremendous feat considering that these performances were recorded in 1966 and 1968!
This collection of some of Mozart's most beautiful compositions would make a wonderful addition to any library of classical music."

"I just find my words too limited in describing the works in this album. It's simply moving."
