Symphony No. 40 / Symphony No. 41 "Jupiter"
Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Academy of Ancient Music & Christopher Hogwood & Jaap Schröder
This release is a recording of two late orchestral works by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, composed in 1788. They exemplify Classical-period symphonic style with clear formal balance, a blend of lyrical and contrapuntal writing, varied orchestral colour and developed harmonic language, and they sit at the culmination of Mozart's symphonic output in his final creative period.
First released: 1986
