Customer Reviews

Masterful music making!
Previous reviewers have said it all. This is beautiful music performed with rich, sonorous, ensemble playing. The music is played with such intimate involvement that I felt like I was intruding in on a musical conversation. For Mozart lovers this has to be the second coming. At bargain price, this recordng may well have no superiors and few equals. No hesitation here is necessary for buying this set. This is the kind of music making that takes away the fear many have of the words, "chamber muisc." For those new to chamber music order quickly as this recording comes in and out of circulation without warning. For devotees of this fine art, don't deprive yourself of this musical event.

A real gem!!
This set of 3 CD's is absolutely an authentic gem. The sound is georgeous!! So amazingly good that you'd think you have the Talich Quartet right in your room LIVE and just playing for you!! The performance of the Quartet is impressive, conveying the musical messages from Mozart in a warm, charming and invigorating way. I just can't stop listening these pieces!! I don't get tired of them!! I have never get bored with them.

If I were to live with only three CD's in my collection of Classical Music, this set would be one of them. No doubt about it!!

If you like Chamber Music, you like Mozart and if you consider yourself to be an audiophile or demand the best sound possible for what you pay for, and if you care for only top notch performers executing to the highest standards of quality, discipline and sensitive mastery, then this CD is for you.

Sensitive and Emotional Mozart
This is a wonderful album. The Talich have lived for a long time with this music and know every nuance. And these are glorious pieces of music. The five players engage in a conversation that is continually in flux. This is not delicate, elegant Mozart, but gutsy and full of life. Hardly ever does the quintet just blend into a homogenous mass of sound (some people tend in that direction, but not Talich). These pieces are great to listen to with headphones. The recorded sound is excellent.
