Excellent Mozart Cycle at Bargain Price

"I have to chime in regarding the other review here. Is it remotely acceptable to hear a few online samples and then bash the recording? Clearly, that reviewer had an agenda.
I own the entire Mozart Piano Concerto cycle with Derek Han, and although it is not ideal, it is an excellent set. With bargain prices from Brilliant Classics for the complete set, it's hard to pass up. Han's playing is simple, clear, and concise. The recording and remastering, although a little bland and lacking in detail, is nonetheless consistently good. You can pay four times as much for another cycle, but it won't be markedly better than this one. Skip the single discs, go straight for the complete set, and enjoy without the guilt of a major purchase."
