Editorial Review:
Amazon.com essential recording:
Karl Bohm was one of this century's great Mozart conductors--a fact that's apt to be forgotten in the flood of authentic instrument productions, many of them on DG's associated labels. He conducted Mozart with real love and affection, maintaining moderate tempos, allowing each work's gorgeous melodies a chance to sing and breathe. Mozart's symphonic music has its roots in the opera house, and so did Bohm. Listening to the witty woodwind interjections in the finale of Symphony No. 39, for example, you can readily imagine the witty exchanges of different characters in one of Mozart's comic operas. These beautifully recorded versions of Mozart's greatest symphonies belong in the collection of every fan of the composer. --David Hurwitz

Rating:  - Finest Mozart Performances I have ever seen.
On these DVDs are the finest performances of Mozart symphonies I have ever seen or heard. I once lived in Vienna and saw Bohm conduct. I was impressed with him then, but not as much as I am now. Karl Bohm is, without question, my favorite conductor of the 20th Century. I used to be a Toscanini fan, but now, I cannot listen to his work at all, after hearing Bohm. I also own the Schubert, Brahms and Beethoven symphonies, all of which are equally good. A very great musician, Karl Bohm, and a superb ... Read More
Rating: - Once more, with feeling
Pardon my self-indulgence here, but I bought the vinyl of 40 & 41 in 1973 when I was in college. I "knew" classical music from piano lessons through most of grade school, but with this recording, plus Vivaldi and "Clockwork Orange," I had just started truly discovering it, psychedelically enhanced.
To this day, for me, nothing in the entire classical repertoire compares to the 41st.
I have listened to many other recordings of the 41st since, and seen it performed several ... Read More
Rating: - Perhaps a bit outdated, but still a favorite
This set my have fallen in recommendability a little recently according to some of the so called professional reviewers, but to me it is still one of the best. Bohm brings out the details and intricacies like few other conductors. Of course, there are many other exceptional recordings of Mozart's symphonies, by such conductors as George Szell, Erich Kleiber, Bruno Walter, Josef Krips and so forth. Bottom line is this is an excellent set that is easily recommended.
Rating:  - Worst Mozart Recording
I have to confess that I did not buy this product from Amazon or from any retailer for that matter.
As part of my research I listened to the entire CD from the library.
I am not sure why people give this CD high ratings. This is the WORST PERFORMANCE of Mozart's symphonies that I have heard.
I have been listening to Mozart for close to a decade and along with Beethoven is my favorite composer.
My criticism of this CD is mainly that this is not the way Mozart's ... Read More
Rating:  - Excellent
Thank you all for the infomative recommendations. I also find Böhm's interpretation impressive. I think that right now it is probably the best there is on the market - it is only comparable with two other conductors: Marriner - and according to my ears even better: Adam Fischer (and the Danish Radio Sinfonitta- who are currently recording all of Mozart's symphonies) Mozart: Symphonies [Hybrid SACD]. The 3 three of them are right now on the top 10 of the best Mozart interpreters. Just thought we should keep the ... Read More
