Mozart Quintets and Trios

Recently I bought this two cd set that had the contents of a four lp set on that originally had come out on cd in 1991 in a three cd form in a FatBoy case but because it's now possible to put a it more onto a single disc in effect they were able to pack two more Quintets into the two so reducing the price and by using the slim double case, the storage capacity.

For me these recordings from the late nineteen-sixties to the mid seventies have never been surpassed.

It also fits in well with my six cd box set of Mozart's Quartets also by the Amadeus Quartet too I bought.

Last year as part of the anniversary of his 250th death, the noted violinist Anne-Sophie Mutter recorded a number of violin based pieces for DG.

In that series I bought this recording of his Trios 4-6 with André Previn on Piano and Daniel Muller Schott on Cello which is very well played.
