Query: TRULY a benchmark recording!

This is the advertising motto of Deutsche Grammophon, and it is true for this album. I have never heard such beautiful recordings of the best symphonies ever written. (my humble opinion ;) ) In addition to the music, the jacket contains interesting information on the composer. It seems he was kind of an anal retentive jerk, but I guess it paid off. This is truly a masterpiece, and worth every penny Amazon is asking for it. If you like these Mozart symphonies, take a look at Philips' recordings of 'The Great' piano concertos. I would venture to say that they are a tad better than these symphonies...
