Product Description

including every last fragment, in the most authoritative edition
ever created.
The Edition presents over 240 hours of music, 600 solo performers
and ensembles including 60 orchestras and every significant
Mozart interpreter of the past 30 years.
Five hours of new s have been commissioned for this
Edition including premieres of previously-lost compositions and
every perform-able fragment. Moreover, a further 25 CDs present
key works in great alternative versions, while five more CDs

one of the great Mozart scholars of our age, Professor Clifford
Eisen.
Editorial is presented across two editions, one with English and
French language, and the other with German and Japanese. Lending
the Edition even more weight is the publication for the first
time of a new Kochel guide presenting in short form the new
Kochel catalogue developed over many years by the International
Stiftung Mozarteum.
Four frame-able prints are included in every set, including a
Mozart letter and a score.

Review
------
Mozart did even out-do Beethoven in some ways, in his simplicity
and his incredible economy of notes --Artur Rubinstein
It was, to me, most important to sing and speak at the same time,
and Mozart operas were the greatest model for this. --Alfred
Brendel
It s just extraordinary to be doing this music, singing this
music, working with this composer, playing with this composer,
and having those moments - suddenly, you are in heaven. --Rolando
Villazon
