Mozart stands at the head of the classical music canon. His simple and delicate style conveys emotion with an artistic sensitivity that has never been matched. This Rough Guide presents a perfectly balanced selection of some of the composer’s most beautiful works.

Bonus CD: Mozart’s string quintets are legendary and swing from incredibly delicate textures in the slow movements to humble dance themes in the minuets, to majestic episodes of symphonic grandeur. Performed by the Salomon Quartet with Simon Whistler (viola).

“Gorgeous performances of some of Mozart’s chamber masterworks. Highly recommended.” - Classical CD Scout
