Symphonies nos. 38 »Prague« & 39

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Berliner Philharmoniker & Herbert von Karajan

Symphonies nos. 38 "Prague" and 39 are orchestral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1786 and 1788. They exemplify his mature classical style, with the Prague symphony notable for its vivid orchestral colour and local resonance while the later work forms part of his final symphonies that emphasise expanded formal scope, prominent wind writing, dynamic contrasts and richer harmonic texture.
First released: 1990
