Series/Mozart Complete Philips

Note: This is not the Brilliant Classics Complete Works version. That version is located at Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Complete Works (Brilliant Classics version).

This is just a space to organize and keep track of the Philips Mozart "Complete Mozart Edition" series. There are a total of 45 volumes with multiple discs per volume. The volumes were originally released by Philips starting on 1990-10-12 and it appears that two volumes were released each month thereafter.

If you see a release on Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart's artist page that isn't documented here, please add a link so we can attempt to get this whole series entered into the database. I'm sure there are several more releases already in MusicBrainz that belong to the series, so make sure you search Mozart's page before you import/add the missing release. Searching for the volume number (i.e., "Volume 4:") works well, as does searching for the volume's subtitle (i.e., "Serenades and Divertimenti for Wind"). Also, some of these discs may be under the performer's artist page, so watch out for that!

If you see a disc below that is not linked, see if you can find it in MusicBrainz and add a link to the release here.

This set has been released three different ways:

• 2 Complete Mozart Edition comprehensive box sets
  • 1: Volumes 1-21
  • 2: Volumes 22-45

• 17 Complete Mozart Edition box sets (as indicated by the "Box" listings below)
• 46 individual volumes, as indicated below.

Discussion

It might make sense to have a SeriesStyleGuideline for this series, just to make it clear what the ClassicalStyleGuide suggests for each volume and disc, and to suggest minor enhancements (e.g. since there are > 10 entries, perhaps it makes sense to name them Volume 01, Volume 02, etcetera, so that they sort correctly by title - or perhaps that's too ugly, and the release date provides the necessary sorting). Just a thought. @alex

P.S. It's easier for 15 people to edit the wiki than to have them all post to the mailing list - if somebody is already editing a wiki page, you are warned, and it helps avoid duplication of effort (and noise on the mailing list).

Now that we have the Series category, and because the Philips set is not the only "Complete Works" set for Mozart, could we perhaps rename this page and move it in with the rest of the Series? I'd suggest Series/MozartCompletePhilips, similar to the one I've been working on, Series/MozartCompleteBrilliant. -- BrianSchweitzer 01:13, 06 October 2007 (UTC)
