Best of Mozart Music
If you have been thinking of building a collection of some of Mozart’s greatest works, be it for music appreciation or just for relaxation, you may go through some of the recommendations listed here.
Here is a collection of some of Mozart’s most popular CDs.
‘Mozart 225: The New Complete Edition’ is a Best-seller
‘Mozart 225 : The New Complete Edition’ was the biggest-selling CD of 2016, when it was first introduced, more than that of Drake and Beyoncé in 2016. Its all of Amadeus in one big box. See PRICE on Amazon.
When we talk about the greatest composers/musicians of all time, whose music have become a part of our lives…in addition to The Beatles, Elvis and Abba, we are also reminded of Mozart’s immortal melodies.
According to Billboard (and without a worldwide album release tour), Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart scored the top-selling CD release of 2016.
“Mozart 225: The New Complete Edition” is a 200-CD box set (produced by Decca and Deutsche Grammophone in collaboration with the Salzburg Mozarteum Foundation) that features every known piece of music ever written by the legendary composer. Total play time is 240 hours, excluding reading additional material included.
Mozart 225 is the most authoritative, complete and scholarly box set ever devoted to the work of a single composer.
The music release coincided with the 225th anniversary of Mozart’s death.
Since it hit the market, the sales have surpassed Drake’s Views, Kanye West’s Life of Pablo and Beyoncé’s Lemonade in 2016. I’m sure nobody, even in their wildest dreams, would have expected Mozart to take home the top prize in 2016.
However, regarding the numbers, when you do the math, it appears that Universal only actually sold around 6000 box sets. And it seems, most of those box sets were likely sold to libraries and universities (and fewer to individuals).
Having said that, there’s no doubt that Mozart and his music will outlive all of us, and will stand the test of time.
- Four frameable prints are included in every set, including a Mozart letter and a score.
- Includes Handel and Bach arrangements
- Alternative performances of key masterpieces
- 5 hours of newly recorded performances including on Mozart’s own instruments
- World premiere recordings including recent discoveries
- Complete symphonies and concertos on period instruments plus many traditional-instrument and classic performances

Mozart: Piano Concertos Nos. 9 & 27
Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Composer), Andras Ligeti (Conductor), Concentus Hungaricus (Orchestra), Jeno Jando (Performer)
The Ninth Concerto is the first of Mozart’s “great” piano concertos, and it begins in a way he was never to repeat: the piano answers the orchestra’s opening phrase immediately, before the orchestra presents the first movement’s thematic material alone, as was Mozart’s later practice. The 27th Concerto is the last, and, though Mozart couldn’t have known it, the music exudes a uniquely Romantic melancholy. A clever and enjoyable pairing!
