Album by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart & Chamber Orchestra of Europe & Sir Georg Solti
Symphonies No. 40 and 41 ('Jupiter') are orchestral works by Austrian composer Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, completed in 1788. They exemplify Mozart's late Classical style through concise thematic development, heightened harmonic complexity and vivid orchestration, with the 'Jupiter' symphony culminating in an expansive, contrapuntally rich finale that demonstrates the composer's advanced handling of form and counterpoint.
