I'd also be interested in any news on the re-release of the Phillips
Mozart Edition.  From what I have seen so far, it is not yet available in
North America.  I'm about a third of the way getting the original Phillips
edition, so I'm inclined to finish the edition with the original releases;
but I gather the new release is far cheaper.  Keep in mind the new budget
release does not include texts of operas, vocal works, etc, and I assume
the notes are less substantial or nonexistent.  I believe I saw on the
Phillips web site that Phillips does not intend to delete the original
version.
