However, the CD for the Mozart collection allowed me to pursue a specific question far more thoroughly than I could with my other resources and, in the course of that pursuit, turned up an interesting missing item. I already observed that this CD was almost essential for finding any specific cantata by Johann Sebastian Bach, since there is no systematic order to how they have been assigned to the CDs in the collection. This is a case where I have already covered most of the major categories, such as symphonies, concertos, and large portions of chamber music but, as I did with other Brilliant collections, I am working my way through the CDs in the order in which they are packaged.īefore getting into the music itself, I wanted to make one comment on the idea of dispensing with printed liner notes and providing a data CD instead. Thus, having now made two ascents of " Mount Bach," I am now in the midst of my first expedition into the complete works of Ludwig van Beethoven.
Having first introduced myself to Brilliant Classics through their collection of the complete works of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart and then received their Bach Edition as a gift (as I previously observed, in the close quarters of a condominium which already housed the Teldec Bach 2000 collection), I have now decided that, given their economies of both price and space, that it is worth investigating similar Gesamtwerk projects.
