highly recommended February 16, 2008
I started listening to this when I had to cram for an exam the other day. I couldn't stop listening to it, and when it came time for the test, I wish my professor could have let me listen to it while I was taking the test!
All the pieces are upbeat, while at the same time not distracting.
Brilliant Selection of Mozart's Genius December 9, 2007
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
In Mozart for Your Mind, the best of Mozart's interpreters, giants such as Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields, Sir Colin Davis and the London Symphony Orchestra, Mitsuko Uchida and Jeffrey Tate, and John Eliot Gardener and the English Baroque Soloists, create a fiery and spirited playlist of some of Mozart's most exciting contributions to the classical repertoire. While you may be familiar with some of the pieces, there are some surprises here that will only help you cement a love, respect, and admiration for the genius that was Mozart.

it's a nice cd (great classical music of course), but you know, your mind can only take it so many times... I think I'm going to move on to MORE mozart for your mind
Wonderful Selection of not as famous but good works! November 13, 2002

The two works on this CD that are most known are The Magic Flute Overture, which is filled with brilliance from measure one to the end, and the opening piece to the movie Amadeus, the G Minor Symphony. These two pieces are superb but just because they are more known, doesn't mean they are better than the rest of the works on this CD.
The Sonata in D Major for two pianos is incredibly brilliant. The first piano holds the main melody while the second piano mimicks it, and then a huge crescendo and BOOM! It is all over the place! (My father and I are both Pianists, and we both specialize in Mozart piano concertos and sonatas.) This piece is wonderful to listen to, and I plan to learn it. The three piano concertos are also spectacular and the Jupiter Finale is superb. There isn't a piece on this CD I can honestly say is even close to okay, they are all exceptionally good. I suggest buying this CD to add to your mozart collection.

BEFORE I LISTENED TO THIS CD, I KNEW NO MORE OF MOZART THAN DIM MEMORIES OF 'AMADEUS'.AFTER LISTENING TO THIS CD BUT A FEW TIMES I BECAME OVERWHELMED BY THE NEED TO KNOW MORE ABOUT THIS COMPOSER. FOUR MONTHS LATER, I COMPLETED AN OPERA COVERING ALL THE WONDERFUL EVENTS OF THE EUROPEAN TOURS OF LEOPOLD AND WOLFGANG...WITH WOLFGANG'S ORIGINAL MUSIC. I DO NOT BELIEVE I COULD HAVE DONE THIS BUT FOR THE INCREASE IN MY IQ FROM LISTENING TO THIS CD.
