Brenten Davis asks:

To which Steve Schwartz added:

Even worse is when you actually buy chunky boxed sets and then take them
home. I assure the very sight of the huge thing will put you off even
contemplating the chore of playing the whole monstrosity through from
the first CD to last. It is a sure formula for a Mozartian to come to
hate Mozart. I am sure you would be far better off taking time, even if
this means years, of exploring Mozart's output bit by bit, reading and
researching as you go. Box sets are sometimes like packaged tours - they
don't really allow you to 'live' with the music.
