CD Reviews

Naxos, like Mozart, is a rare, magical find!!
Kevin Currie-Knight | Newark, Delaware | 01/28/2003

"This set is undoubtedly one of the best values I've ever seen!!! On 5 discs, we get Mozarts late piano concertos (volume #2 contains the early works). Jeno Jando and the Concentus Hungaricus sound great in their performance (1989-1990 recordings) of these masterpieces. Like the other reviewer, I agree that this is definitely a classical interpretation and I will go so far as to suggest that those who like a deep, romantic feel probably will find this lighter interpretation lacking. The piano is sharp, defined and aggressive in the 'regal' sense. Tempo changes are kept to a minimum and the orchestra is always crisp and defined. What I noticed immediately about these recordings is the unbelievable compliment of the Jando/Concentus combination, not only in style, but in volume. These discs are extremely well-balanced both in sound and mood. As a consequence, most music reviews that I consulted in my decision to get this set, rated it very high and as a 'best buy' of sorts. After listening to this set many times, they obviously knew what they were talking about. In terms of price, preformance and beauty, this value is not to be missed!!!"
Great Set!

"See my review under Volume 2 of this set. I cannot speak highly enough about the music, as well as the performances."
Superb Performances @ Bargain Price

"I have been buying the Naxos Mozart Piano Concertos with pianist Jeno Jando (accompanied by the Concentus Hungaricus conducted by Matyas Antal) as individual discs for some time now, and I must admit that they have all been superb in both sound and performances. I happen to own many fine performances of the Mozart Piano Concerti, but the Naxos/Jando is the one I keep returning to over and over again. If I had to live with only one set of Mozart's Piano concertos (dread the thought) it would surely be the Naxos. Grab them all and endulge in great music performed with virtuosity by both the soloist and orchestra, beautifully recorded, and at a price that won't break your wallet."
