Symphony In G Minor, K. 550 / Symphony In D Major, No. 104

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Joseph Haydn & Wiener Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550, and Symphony No. 104 in D major are orchestral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1788 and 1791 respectively. Both exemplify Mozart's mature Classical style, featuring clear sonata forms, incisive rhythmic propulsion and varied orchestral colours, with the G minor symphony conveying heightened drama through minor-key intensity and the D major symphony representing his late-period mastery of symphonic architecture at the end of his career.
