"I purchased both Vol. 1 &2 together, and I must confess I prefer this CD a little bit more because the music seemed to have matured makes sense, since this music was written by a relatively older Mozart. Podger's violin is yet again beguiling and Cooper's fortepiano is right along there. It's lovely to listen to. I have no other recordings or any other artists to compare this CD to, which I am sure there are others, but I've really taken a liking to Mozart because of these two artists. It is hard to explain intellectually why someone who never listened or cared for classical music should take a notice of Rachel and Gary's CD, but there's something magical about it. I think if you played this in the middle of a rainforest, you'll find the natives enchanted as well. There must be something genetically engrained in the human genome that makes us appreciate such beautiful music. Imagine, this year is Mozart's 250th birthday and we're still going ga ga over him. I really challenge anyone who think they can't appreciate classical music, to give this one a try."
