Review title: Delightful Mozart Cycle - 4 1/2 stars
Product review: Josef Krips proves himself to be a fine Mozartian in this excellent cycle recorded in 1972-73 with the Concertgebouw. IMHO these recordings are as good as Bohm's more famous recordingsMozart: Symphonien Nos. 35-41and not that far behind those of Walter's mono recordings from the early 1950's and any of those by Szell. There is no romantic interpretation to be found here, just straight-up classic period Mozart. In fact, Krips' pace is quite similar to that of Walter, which is more relaxed than Szell (perhaps the greatest Mozart conductor to date), but still enjoyable. The playing of the wonderful Concertgebouw is also ideal (especially the strings) for Mozart. No matter how many other Mozart symphonies you own, your collection is somewhat lacking without this set. Those purchasing their first Mozart symphonies won't be disappointed with this set, but may be more comfortable with Szell or Bohm.
