5.0 out of 5 stars Piano Concertos - John Eliot Gardiner Mar 11 2013
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
Great audio quality on all 9 CDs. The accompanying booklet, though written in very small print, is very interesting and provides a good history and index of all the music found on the CDs. Great buy for Mozart lovers and piano lovers.

By John Kwok TOP 100 REVIEWER

Deutsche Grammophon has recently reissued Mozart Piano Concertos recorded by Bilson and Gardiner in the mid to late 1980's. At this price it is a very attractive introduction to period instrument performance. Although these interpretations do not necessarily show these concertos as they were performed in Mozart's time, they certainly come close since Gardiner uses the same orchestral forces that Mozart was familiar with in the 1780's. Somehow I could imagine an ensemble such as the English Baroque Soloists performing as the court orchestra to the Habsburg dynasty in Vienna. Bilson and Gardiner's collaboration is at its best with Mozart's later piano concertos; though throughout the set they share an excellent rapport with the EBS. I was surprised by the great range of tone as well as drama which Bilson draws from the vintage piano; that in itself is worth the price of these CDs, though Bilson's warm, lyrical performances should be regarded as good as those from Ashkenazy and Brendel. The sound quality is excellent, though not quite up to the latest digital standard. An earlier edition of this set may still be available for sale at amazon.com; in lieu of that, you should purchase this marvellous collection.

I can only echo the praise given by other reviewers. The Gardiner/Bilsom performances are monuments to the "original instrument" movement. The works have a splendid clarity that highlight the lovely tones produced by the pianoforte. Let's not forget that these are some of Mozart's most charming works. (They vary in sophistication, but "light" Mozart is splendid in its own way. There isn't a dud in the bunch.) Considering the price, this is truly a "must buy" for music lovers.
