EMI's
Best Mozart 100 is a six-disc sampler of the most famous pieces by
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, regarded by many as the greatest composer of the Classical era. The selections touch on all the genres
Mozart composed in, including concertos, symphonies, operas, chamber music, and keyboard works. EMI has drawn on its deep backlist to provide examples of the most recognizable works in performances by many highly regarded artists of the late 20th century. It's difficult to dispute any of the choices here, but for an introduction to the world of
Mozart, this package is serviceable, and with any luck it will steer beginners in the right direction.
