In Reply to: RE: So, after listening to Brendel play some Mozart Concertos... posted by popsy on June 04, 2020 at 13:30:25
Thought you might like to hear him expound on this topic. No mention of Ashkenazy's set (no surprise - its an underdog). His #1 set is Schiff/Vegh and he discusses a bunch of others.
Follow Ups:
But if the OP is interested in SQ, some of ol' Dave's comments in the past make me wonder sometimes about what kind of system he's listening through. Anyone know if he's ever come clean and put his system out for people to throw darts at?
BTW, at least he doesn't like Barenboim! ;-)
(Although I must say that, for me, Barenboim's Mozart playing is some of his least objectionable!) ;-)

Nice recommendation, I am listening to #21 now on Qobuz and liking it a lot.
Thanks,

I have the Kirschnereit/Beeman set. Excellent sound. A BIG orchestra. Kirschnereit is creative and musical without constantly drawing attention to himself (as in, "Look what I'm doing, isn't that interesting?").
This would not have been my first choice as a complete set, but it's a different view that I enjoy when contrasted with some of the more mainline performances of Mozart concertos.
These unheralded musicians come out of the woodwork from seemingly nowhere, and produce wonderful performances!
I picked up the Kirschnereit Mozrt concertos in a discounted box while shopping with a friend at Daedalus Books--very happy with them.
And I bought a 24/88.2 (stereo) download of Kirschnereit and the Amaryllis Quartet in a wonderful performance of the Brahms Piano Quintet; Brahms third piano conata was also part of the purchase, but I haven't listened to it in a while.
This was via Qobuz this past afternoon - it sounded great to me! Ms. CfL knows this concerto very well, having grown up with with the Anda/DG performance as her imprint version - she liked Kirschnereit (at least in this concerto) better than she did Geza!
. . . I've been VERY impressed by the conductor (Frank Beerman) in his SACD set of the Schumann symphonies (really one of the absolute top versions IMHO). Let us know how you like the Mozart set when you get it.
