Not everybody loves this set as much as I do. It was taped, in mono, at two series of concerts; the sound is mostly pretty good though never excellent. There are occasional bloopers and moments where the pianist's control isn't perfect. And yet, I find old man Mieczyslaw Horszowski's Mozart a revelation. He generally plays Mozart as a bolder, more assertive composer than the way we usually hear him, and he makes his case with complete conviction. It's not just the tragic K. 310 that benefits from this approach; all of these sonatas are compelling to me in these performances, warts and all. --Leslie Gerber
