Product Review

The Philips sound balance is admirably judged. As a set the performances have seen off all challengers for two decades or more; one is unlikely to assemble a more consistently satisfying overview of these works, or one so beautifully played. They hold a very special place in the Mozartian discography. The Penguin Guide
