Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major / Symphony no. 39 in E-flat major

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & English Chamber Orchestra & Sir Alexander Gibson & Norbert Brainin & Peter Schidlof & London Philharmonic Orchestra & Vernon Handley

This album pairs two orchestral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, the Sinfonia Concertante in E-flat major (composed 1779) and Symphony No. 39 in E-flat major (composed 1788). Both pieces exemplify Mozart's Classical-era orchestral writing: the Sinfonia Concertante combines concerto-style dialogue between solo instruments and chamber-like textures, while Symphony No. 39 showcases expansive orchestral sonority, varied orchestral colour and the formal clarity characteristic of his late symphonies.
