This 14-CD set is really very complete (a few absences are mentioned below). Besides the solo fortepiano works, it features works for piano four-hands, two pianos, even works for organ and the adagio for glass harmonica KV 617a, though these works are performed on the fortepiano. Frankly, I can't bear listening to the glass harmonica, but I prefer the organ works played on organ and the CD with Mozart's organ works I recommend is Mozart - L'oeuvre pour orgue, Olivier Vernet, C?dric Meckler, Ligia Digital. Furthermore, this box presents some never before recorded works comprising recent authentications of Mozart's authorship; doubtful and spurious works; fragments. I name these works below.
That's a really historically informed performance (HIP) on a fortepiano and played on the manner of Mozart's and his contemporaries, as far as we know nowadays. The ornaments, for example, are very well-chosen and not exaggerated. Oort's performance is very good, it's strong and bold on the fast movements and delicate on the slow movements. The sound quality is good and satisfactory. Even so, I recommend you to listen to some samples of this box on YouTube in order to assess the quality of performance and sound, since my taste may be different from yours.
