"The potential purchaser of this Brilliant Classics set is confronted with Mozart's huge and variegated edifice of surviving music and must decide whether the promise of discovery and of revealed pleasure or of curiosity satisfied is enough to warrant the outlay. The performances and recordings always seem by experience or repute either at least good and at best outstanding so I do not see anything here that does Mozart a disservice. Mozart is one of the greats so if you are tempted by the low price don't feel you have to hold back."
(MusicWeb Dec 2010)

"This is a great bargain for the complete works of Mozart - 170 cds of everything that Mozart ever wrote. There is an extra cd with the complete listings of all his work and the libretto for the operas. For all Mozart fans this is a great way to celebrate Mozart's 250th birthday annivasary, the recording is great from Brilliant classics. I think all classical music lovers should snap up this boxset as you can never go wrong with Mozart and at this fantastic bargain price it is well worth it."

"One may argue that the performances or ensembles are not the best ones, that the recording quality could be better in some discs, but what really matters is that I got the complete Mozart works and none of those complaints are reducing my pleasure of knowing and listening to every single work of Mozart genius, from his earlier and simple ones to the most sofisticated. The price? Far below the real value!"

The Brilliant Classics Complete Mozart Edition, released in 2006, was an international hit, winning plaudits from critics and customers alike for the quality of the music making and representing great value for money. Why, then, have Brilliant Classics chosen not to rest on their laurels but to improve upon this successful product? Here are some of the reasons:

1. The interpretation of Mozart's music continues to evolve and, four years on from the original release, Brilliant Classics' Complete Mozart Edition has evolved with it. We have included new recordings by prominent Mozart performers such as Guiliano Carmignola (violin concertos) and Oficina Musicum (La Betulia Liberata). Several of the recordings have already won the coveted Diapason d'or.
