Symphony No. 40, K. 550 / Symphony No. 41, K. 551 "Jupiter"
Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & James Levine
Symphony No. 40 in G minor, K. 550, and Symphony No. 41 in C major, K. 551 are orchestral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1788. Both are late Classical symphonies that exemplify Mozart's advanced use of expressive minor-key drama, rich chromatic harmony and intricate counterpoint, with the G minor work emphasising darker, restless textures and the C major work concluding his symphonic output with expansive orchestral writing and a contrapuntal finale.
First released: 1993
