Vladimir Horowitz plays W.A. Mozart's Piano Sonata No.13 in B flat, K.333, 1. Allegro

Introducing MOZART 111

“Mozart is all music; there is nothing you can ask from music that he cannot supply...”
Leonard Bernstein

MOZART 111 combines the best of the Austrian master’s music with the best of Deutsche Grammophon’s Mozart recordings, bringing together a total of 111 works, while retaining the original album releases with their cover art. The 140-page booklet includes a new introduction by Mozart expert Konrad Küster, as well as many original photos from sessions and recording studio. This release reflects DG’s extraordinary tradition of Mozart interpretation, featuring performances that have stood the test of time and performances that make you sit up and listen to Mozart afresh – the perfect way to discover, rediscover and savour the incomparable genius of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.

In the Mozart 111 Masterworks Edition you will find the recordings of Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic, the acclaimed period-instrument performances of Trevor Pinnock and Marc Minkowski; Géza Anda’s magical K. 467 Piano Concerto from 1962 set against the historically informed approach of Malcolm Bilson and John Eliot Gardiner in the same genre.

A special place has been reserved for Vladimir Horowitz, all of whose DG solo Mozart recordings are brought together here on a single disc for the first time.

Conducting duties for the six essential operas are divided between five of the outstanding Mozartians of the 20th century: Claudio Abbado, Karl Böhm, John Eliot Gardiner, Nikolaus Harnoncourt and James Levine. Leonard Bernstein and Claudio Abbado lead the way in sacred music; concert arias are present in Gundula Janowitz’s exquisite recordings.
