Editorial Review:
This is an astonishing collection of works - or parts of works - by Mozart that covers almost every aspect of his creative output: symphonic, religious music, concerti (for piano, horn, violin, clarinet, flute), chamber music, serenades (for strings; winds), a couple of opera overtures and more. Those who know and love Mozart's music will not need this, but it's a great introduction, a great overview. The selections are well-chosen and interestingly organized, with familiar pieces splrinkled among some not-so well known. A good primer. --Robert Levine
25 Mozart Favorites Reviews:
A decent Start 
2009-11-08 - This is a good start if your just getting into Mozart or Classical music, but if your not then don't buy it. It's only segments of certain songs, and when the track ends you feel very unsatisfied
Great Music 
2009-01-19 - The music on this album is very well done. Amazon's description was sketchy and after receiving the album I realized I already owned it. Fortunately I have friends that would appreciate it so it will make a wonderful gift.
Super!
2008-05-08 - This CD is brand new and -- YAY -- didn't arrive with cracks in the case! Very happy with this purchase.
Muy bueno
2008-01-27 - Toma una dimensión distinta de Mozart cuando escuchas sus mejores temas.
...
How can you go wrong with Mozart?...Buy this and find out. 
2007-05-13 - I was extraordinarely ignorant when I purchased this recording. I thought,"WOW!! Look at all the music you get in this CD set. The price cannot be beat!" When I received the CD, I discovered that you don't really get any music at all. This is a great sample CD, and should be bought by a person brand new to classical music. However, if you have any experience with classical music, you will want to pass on this CD.
Each of the pieces are hacked apart to the point of it being comical. It's interesting to listen to the greatest music in the world, only to have the development cut. All of a sudden I was thrust into a new key, I thought my ears were going crazy. Perhaps an effort by a decent high school orchestra, but this music is not up to snuff with any other recording.
Do yourself a favor and go out and purchase real recordings of Mozart, and not watered down stereotypes.
