I bought this as a gift for my niece, since I wanted her to be educated about classical music as she was on her way to college. Ended up buying two copies as I found I loved it so much. Normally I like to pick and choose my orchestras, composers, and conductors, but this collection has jujst about everything. Also, I'd never bought some of the more "popular" items (Strauss and Grieg) as I'd heard them a million times, but now I have them and the performances are all great. This truly has a smattering of it all, and if you're not a classical music lover, it's bound to turn you on to the stuff.

Search : Mozart - Sonatas for Piano and Violin

When Anne-Sophie Mutter and Lambert Orkis were in Boston last fall, I attended the concert that featured some of Mozart's violin sonatas from these recordings. While I enjoyed the immediacy of the live performance, I felt that Ms. Mutter tended to overwhelm Mr. Orkis both in volume and style. That was a shame because the piano parts in Mozart's violin sonatas are always at least as important as the violin parts. Having been a little disappointed, I was, however, wowed during the encores when suddenly a balance appeared. Ms. Mutter was quieter and more restrained and Mr. Orkis seemed less constrained. It was magical.

Thus encouraged, I bought a copy of this CD set, and both performers graciously autographed it.

This c.d. is very much based upon Grimaud's belief in the concept of 'Universality' propounded by the poet Novalis, and others. In short and simply this is the idea that underlying the multifarious forms of sensible things we are all fundamentally connected, and that music is one way, albeit a uniquely potent one, to reveal and renew this connection. The forms of music are important in themselves, but also substantially as messengers of this spiritual conection, and that is the key to understanding the diverse nature of the music here. If you have any sympathy with any of this then you're likely to be interested in this disc, and love it as I did, but it's also interesting as an unusualy adventurous release from a major record label. It is very ... Read More:

During the course of his career Gulda earned a reputation and as an enfant terrible of the classical scene, a reputation which he appears to have cultivated quite assiduously. Yet back in the 1950s, as the notes to this edition point out, Gulda was regarded as the most promising young talent of his day ahead of names like Brendel. Listen to this and you can hear why. Gulda's Beethoven is robust and forthright. His playing is muscular, his tempi are generally quite fast and he seems on the whole more interested in illuminating the structure of the pieces rather than their lyricism when this is called. This approach is the antithesis of Kempff, but Gulda brings it off perfectly. A real oddity in the set is Gulda's performance of the first movement ... Read More:
