Masters At Work.......2005-10-20
One could not have a better combination of performers for a piece such as Mozart's flute quartets. All of them are virtuosos in their instruments and it sure sounds like it. These graceful pieces by Mozart will make you feel as if you're strolling down the park on a sunny day without care in the world. There is really nothing to discuss in terms of technical detail as the performances are flawless in almost every respect. I felt the performance was a little too fast in its interpretation for Mozart and the Rococco style but that is really a minor point. This is a great album for one's collection in which one can hear some of the greatest performers do Mozart's delicate flute quartets.
Nearly impossible to tire of listening to this recording...........1999-10-25
As a purchaser of classical, baroque, rock, and hip-hop music, "Mozart, The Flute Quartets" is an essential part of my listening mix and has been for several years. These selections are spirited in rhythm & tempo, and, are punctuated with the captivating dynamics of 4 world renowned musicians. In addition, the wonderful sonic quality of this 1986 DDD recording stands head and shoulders above most other classical cd's in my small collection. Perhaps the combination of Mozart, great musicianship, and, excellent digital reproduction leads me to be biased. However,please know that friends and family always comment favorably when they hear this cd. In my opinion, this specific recording would be an excellent choice as a gift.

Mozart's flute quartets are about as high-class as musical wallpaper gets. Unfailingly charming in their melodic material, they skirt profundity but demonstrate admirable wit and joyful music-making. Emmanuel Pahud has made several recordings for EMI that have boosted him to the top rank of today's flute soloists, and this one will add to his growing luster. Still under 30, Pahud became principal flute of the Berlin Philharmonic at age 22, talking the seat once held by James Galway. He plays with a light, rounded tone and with the freedom of phrasing that finds interesting details where many others offer generalized boredom. His string partners take a back seat in this music, but they're unfailingly musical and hold their own in the music's interplay. A stylish, highly recommendable disc. --Dan Davis

Great chamber music with a few minor issues........2005-05-31
There is a lot of great chamber music here. The members of the Nash Ensemble sound excellent and perform the music with style and ease. There are a few minor things that bother me about the recording that may or may NOT bother another listener:
Clarinet Trio - brialliant playing by all three instrumentalists. Clarinet tone is especially good and the production is well balanced (unlike other recordings I've heard in which the viola part tends to be dominated by the other two). My only concern is that the piano, although wonderfully played, sounds distant.
Adagio and Rondo - is actually played on piano as opposed to the glass harmonica (the rare instrument for which the piece was originally written). It's a very common substitution in modern times.
Oboe Quartet - very well played by all, no complaints here
Horn Quartet - also well played, beautiful horn tone and ensemble balance is great. The rondo is taken very fast and is quite good. My only complaint is in some of the horn trills prior to cadences which I felt were a little timid for my taste.
Flute Quartets - all four are recorded here and are beautifully played. Tempos are great and style is perfect. One minor concern was the flute tone on some extreme register notes seemed just a tad "pipey", but perhaps this was a creative decision on the part of the artist.
Overall, this is an excellent recording of a great deal of Mozart's best chamber music. My rather picky observations would bring the rating to four and a half stars, but since reviewers cannot use half stars here, I shall do the decent thing and round up. Enjoy the music.

MOZART'S FLUTE QUARTETS AT THEIR FINEST.......2001-02-24
This is undeniably some of the most entertaining, delightful and infectious ensemble playing I've heard in a long, long time. The recording, truthful and clear, brings out melodic lines, harmonies and instrumental interplay Schocker and the Chester Quartet obviously relish. No dull Mozart this. There is a real sense of active give and take between these musicians, and
Schocker's delicacy never fails in its grace or Mozartian warmth. As an added "bonus," we have his attractive and faithful flute reduction of Mozart's Oboe Quartet (KV 370/368b), whose Adagio is most fetching. Highest praise to Chesky engineer, Bob Katz, for the intimate immediacy of instrumental placement within the spatial and aural picture; and, too, for the realism of actual instrumental sound.

Excellent sound quality by DG........2001-06-09
Hearing this it is impressive how Mozart managed to come up with such sweet music written for an instrument which he said he "could not bear". His distaste for the flute as a solo instrument is hardly apparent in the music. Great performance by Wincenc and the Emerson String Quartet, also helped by very detailed and clear DDD sound engineering work. Definitely a must-hear CD if you're shopping for Mozart's flute quartets.

Complete Mozart Work on Chamber Music.......2002-03-23
A memorable, complete set of Mozart for strings, winds and horn. This 3 volume set includes the first with winds (clarinet, horn, oboe and basson) while the second CD is all flute with William Bennett. The final CD is string with the incomplete compositions finalized admirably by Erik Smith.
Most memorable to this reviewer is the excellent Bassoon and Cello Sonata performed with controlled passion by Klaus Thunemann on bassoon and Stephen Orion on cello. The interplay of these rich mid-to-low tones is calming and exciting to listen to.
Next to this, the Oboe Quartet led by Neil Black's oboe performance is outstanding. William Bennett's flute offerings are well done, full of clarity and resonance. I've learned that wherever the name Antony Pay shows up, one is bound for a special treat of clarinet. No let down here either!
Very pleasant music to enjoy soft or loud.
The very first and best Mozart for baby.......2001-11-21
It is a CD set with the instant charm. Better yet, there is no dull moment from the begging to the end. If you are familiar to the Peter and the Wolf, you may know how appealing the wind instruments can be to the young child. In this set, you have one of Mozart mastery genres customized for this family. Along with warm performance and quality recording. Can't recommend enough for this particular set!
Mozart Standards & Rarities.......2001-07-28
Many of the works on these three CDs are works that are popular and familiar to almost everyone who has listened to them at one point of his or her life. The Clarinet Quintet, the Oboe Quartet, the Horn Quintets, and the Flute Quartets are all pieces that are familiar to all Mozart aficionados and are here giving eloquent and beautiful renderings by their respective performers: The Academy of St. Martin in the Fields and also the Grumiaux Ensemble with flautist William Bennett. In addition there is a CD of Mozart chamber pieces that were never completed by Mozart during his lifetime including several abortive attempts at a clarinet quintet. These have been restored completed by Dr. Erik Smith and the performances are admirable.
The Best in Chamber Music.......2001-07-20
This was the first Box set of Mozart music I bought and it is still my favorite. Just put them in your CD player and sit back and enjoy. Most lovers of Mozart have probably heard most of the Quintets and Quartets before. But CD number 3 is special in that most of the music on it has never been recorded before. They are fragments of music Mozart composed but never completed or were disarded movements of other quartets that were lost. Great stuff well done by all artists. Well worth the money and a great addition to your collection of Mozart.
