I admit it. I'm a sucker for the violin. Like many people, I love a good violin concerto perhaps more than most kinds of orchestral works. Maybe that's part of the reason I believe this may well be the best "99 most whatever" set so far.
And it is even better that it is possible to get this set for free. Amazon MP3 published a link to a three-dollar promotional code on its Facebook page November 22, which renders this set free at the "Daily Deal" price on November 24, 2010, with some change to spare.

The 99 tracks here really consist of 38 works, which include practically all the major standard repertory concertos -- the Beethoven, Mendelssohn, Tchaikovsky, Brahms, Sibelius, the first Bruch, and the first two Paganini concertos. The Beethoven "Spring" Sonata is also a popular "greatest hit" from classical music.
There are also a number of other great full-length works. On the modern side, there is the second Prokofiev concerto. The melancholy Elgar sonata is a great addition, and Ravel's "Tzigane" played by Igor Oistrakh is a real treat. I am also glad to get a nice version of Saint-Saens "Introduction and Rondo Capriccio" into my collection through this set.
The baroque and classical periods, which produced beautiful violin music but often lack the virtuoso fireworks of modern standard repertory violin concertos, are also featured heavily. The highlight here is probably the old warhorse, Vivaldi's Four Seasons, which X5 has trotted out in at least excerpted form in most of these "99" collections -- but here at least in a satisfying new version (for buyers in the series) featuring Yehudi Menuhin.

r Vivaldi works include "L'Estro Harmonico" and "Il Ritiro".
Bach is well represented with the Concerto for Two Violins (again featuring Yehudi Menuhin), Violin Concertos 1 and 2, Sonata No. 1 and Partita No. 5. The latter solo violin works might be my least favorite in the set -- the playing by Conrad von der Goltz is good, but the pieces were recorded in a high-echo, reverb-heavy room which created a sound not quite to my taste. Yours may be different.
There are four Mozart violin concertos (nos. 1, 3, 4 and 5), plus the Sinfonia Concertante for violin and viola and a few other short works and excerpts.
This set is based on a marketing tactic that must have been developed by an evil genius. In 14 of the longer works on offer, X5 has sold individual movements from the same performances in previous "99" sets -- but it is now adding the "missing" pieces to give the buyer the entire work. This is an ingenious way to sell things twice. However, at this price,

I can accept it. Many of the short, single-movement works are also repeats from other sets in the series, such as the Meditation from Thais, the Beethoven Romances, or Arvo Part's "Spiegel im Spiegel".
In some cases, full concertos are repeated from other "99" sets in the same performance -- for example, the Mendelssohn concerto or "Il Ritiro" from the Vivaldi set are straight repeats. However, in the case of Brahms and Tchaikovsky, the "99" sets focused on those composers had different full-length performances of the concertos.
In my view, this collection is still well worth the price despite some repetition -- especially at the negligible Daily Deal price. The first movement of the Beethoven concerto alone -- featuring Christian Tetzlaff and the SWR Orchestra -- is probably worth it (the 2nd and 3rd movements were in the Beethoven set). Tetzlaff plays amazingly, and uses the Beethoven/Schneiderhan cadenzas, which are relatively seldom heard. Great stuff.

l in some holes in my collection, and it's nice to have them here.
The performances range from good to great. As we expect with these sets, the names often aren't the most famous, but the musicianship and recording quality are very good.
This is a mammoth set, coming in at 12 hours and 35 minutes, with a total download size of 1.19 GB. As with all these collections, birates are variable. Sound is good, with average bitrates ranging from 210 to 247 kbps.
Cannot be recommended too highly for people who are newish to classical music, and I think even people with serious collections should pick this one up. It's a solid set of valid musical interpretations -- five stars all around.
