In Reply to: Mozart Symphonies on Brilliant Classics posted by Pete Watt on November 6, 2006 at 21:55:39:
I've listened to several discs in multichannel and I think they sound very good. Note, however, that they are not real MCH but processed. Nonetheless they do sound perfectly OK. As for the performances, they are well played and lively and well up to the high standard of other period orchestras, like the Academy of Ancient Music, in this repertoire. I would class it as a bargain, especially since you get good performances of the 'other' Mozart symphonies from his early youth that are fun but not worth a huge investment. Of course anyone who is serious about his or her Mozart will also own traditional performances too, such as the Bruno Walter set of the late symphonies (ex. CBS) and the remarkable performance of number 29 on Supraphon by the Czech Philharmonic under Martin Turnovsky.
