Although I write this review under the CD of symphonies 32,35 and 36, it is quite relevant to the other Mozart symphony recordings of JEG. I don't wish to enter into protracted arguments and I think it is suffice to say that everyone is entitled to their opinions even BOH. I've been listening to recorded music for over 50 years. When I first began buying LPs with my pocket money I relied quite heavily on the reviews of March, Greenfield and Layton. Occasionally I would feel short changed and wondered if they had listened to the same recording but in the main I agreed with their reviews. However, since the coming of the CD in 1983 I began to agree less and less and at times very strongly disagreed! My point is that we all hear things slightly differently having different equipment and listening for different qualities in the music.
Back to the Mozart. Make no mistake these are excellent performances and at times you would be hard pushed to recognise that they are played on
'period' instruments. Whereas Hogwoods versions are a little thin and acidic, ( which I quite like ) these are much more rounded and full. Pinnock falls somewhere between the two. There are other versions but the three I've mentioned rather steal the show as far as I'm concerned. If you really must have 'modern' instruments then I would recommend Glover on ASV or Mackerras on Linn and for the early symphonies Marriner.
So, is there a best version? Of course not. My advice, if you can afford it, is to have all the versions I have mentioned. They all warrant 5 stars and depending on your mood one version will always suit.
Hogwoods set of 19 CDs is as complete as you could wish and can be had for not much more than £30 .... a colossal bargain!

Up there with Hogwood and Pinnock.
