Symphonies nos. 40 & 41 'Jupiter'
Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner
Symphonies Nos. 40 and 41 'Jupiter' are orchestral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1788. They are among Mozart's final symphonies and illustrate his late Classical orchestral language, contrasting darker, agitated minor-key textures and lean scoring with a more expansive orchestration, prominent contrapuntal writing and increased formal complexity.
First released: 1991
