Symphonies nos. 38 and 39

Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Academy of St Martin in the Fields & Sir Neville Marriner

Symphonies Nos. 38 and 39 are orchestral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1786 and 1788 respectively. They showcase Mozart's mature Classical symphonic language with clear formal architecture, varied orchestral colours, contrapuntal passages and dramatic dynamic contrasts, and they occupy a late‑1780s phase that precedes and informs his final symphonic output and broader developments in the genre.
First released: 2004
