The symphonies in E flat major, K543 (no.39), G minor, K550 (no.40), and C major, K551 (no.41, also known as “The Jupiter”) are the ones that most represent Mozart’s symphonic legacy to later generations of musicians. With its slow introduction, the Symphony in E flat major also opens the entire cycle, already giving the listener a sense of its highs and lows.
As early as 1800, the popular “Great” G minor Symphony was praised as the “painting of a passion-stricken soul”. Like its big sister, the “Jupiter” Symphony in C major, it numbers among the most-played works in classical music and has been immortalised in countless recordings. Nevertheless, these symphonies – probably the most profound ones before Beethoven – reveal themselves as something quite new in every interpretation. “Mozart placed all the dark sides of human existence into his G minor Symphony,” says Herbert Blomstedt, adding that its “passion” continues to fascinate him.
The eminent Swedish conductor Herbert Blomstedt, a close associate and regular guest conductor of the BRSO, conducted the E flat major Symphony on 18 and 19 December 2019 in the Philharmonie at the Munich Gasteig, the G minor Symphony in concerts on 31 January and 1 February 2013 and the “Jupiter” Symphony on 21 and 22 December 2017 in the Herkulessaal of Munich’s Residenz. The new 2-CD set from BR-KLASSIK now presents these great cornerstones of Mozart’s symphonic oeuvre – in the very best sound quality.
