5.0 out of 5 stars Great performances of great music., April 29 2002

By	D. R. Schryer (Poquoson, VA United States) - See all my reviews (TOP 500 REVIEWER) (REAL NAME)

Mozart's violin concertos, although written when he was only 19, are among his finest works. And no violinist is more suited to do do justice to these masterpieces than Henryk Szeryng. Szeryng -- although not as famous as some others -- was one of the greatest violinists of the 20th century. Although he excelled in a wide range of repertoire -- from Vivaldi through Sibelius -- Szeryng's beautiful sweet tone and elegant performance style were especially effective in the performance of Mozart. No other violinist I've heard excels him in this repertoire. He was the consummate Mozart violinist, as these recordings attest. Highly recommended.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not bad, but you do do better for much cheaper, Jun 5 2001

By	R.D. Monsoon - See all my reviews

There is nothing wrong with this set, but Sir Colin Davis's account of the violin concertos with the London Symphony Orchestra and Arthur Grumiaux is not only better but cost merely $16.49. Interestingly, it's also a Philips disc. So go with the Davis/Grumiaux recording. It's better and a lot cheaper.

5.0 out of 5 stars A remarkable Mozartian masterpiece, Mar 14 2001

By	JULIO CESAR NASCIMENTO ARRAES - See all my reviews

I have recently bought this CD and it is undoubtly divine. Indeed, even listening to the music every day I spent 2 weeks to appreciate the four collection CDs. Each one has a special atmosphere that we have to understand well prior to advance to the next one. Doing it make us travel through the History of Music and particularly through Mozart own history. It is amazing how he was able to dramatically let his violin concert compostion style more and more sophisticated during less than an year. As a Mozart fan I strongly recommend this masterpiece as a main CD-set from the whole collection.
