Years ago, and from random listening, I delevoped a strong yen for
Mozart symphonies. So one day I decided to buy a boxed set (Philips,
Neville Marriner/St. Martin-in-the-Fields) and listened to it from
beginning to end in three or four sessions. After that, I knew which
of the symphonies
I especially liked and,over the years, got myself some more satisfactory
recordings of these. I remain a steady and ever-enthralled listener of
my little collection--including, still, some of the Marriner offerings.
