The collection kicks off with the instantly recognizable Allegro from "Eine klein Nachtmusik." And it closes with the lovely Motet in D Major for choir and orchestra. But throughout, it provides a good balance of works.
While all of these works are well known, some of the included movements are seldom given the same level of attention as their more recognizable movements. For example, Concerto Number 21 in C Major (5-7) is best known from the second "Andante" movement ("Elvira Madigan"). But the first movement is often excluded on classical compilations. It's wonderfully performed and recorded here, with energetic piano solos interspersed throughout the orchestral sections.
