Mozart: The Quintets & Quartets for Strings & Wind (Complete Mozart Edition)

Complete Mozart Work on Chamber Music By rodboomboom (HALL OF FAME) (VINE VOICE), March 23, 2002 A memorable, complete set of Mozart for strings, winds and horn. This 3 volume set includes the first with winds (clarinet, horn, oboe and basson) while the second CD is all flute with William Bennett. The final CD is string with the incomplete compositions finalized admirably by Erik Smith. Most memorable to this reviewer is the excellent Bassoon and Cello Sonata performed with controlled passion by Klaus Thunemann on bassoon and Stephen Orion on cello. The interplay of these rich mid-to-low tones is calming and exciting to listen to. Next to this, the Oboe Quartet led by Neil Black's oboe performance is outstanding. William Bennett's flute offerings are well done, full of clarity and resonance. I've learned that wherever the name Antony Pay shows up, one is bound for a special treat of clarinet. No let down here either! Very pleasant music to enjoy soft or loud.
