W.A. Mozart - Le Testament Symphonique- Symphonies 39,40 & 41
Le Concert Des Nations, Jordi Savall
Qobuz 24/88.2
Good to hear these old warhorses from time to time.
These are good interpretations, not the best I've heard but very enjoyable.
Sound is decent.
By the middle of 1788, at the age of 32, Mozart had reached the height of his creative maturity, dominated by the last three symphonies, absolute masterpieces that he composed in a very short period of time – barely one and a half months. This extraordinary “symphonic massif” consisting of three peaks – Symphony No. 39 in E-flat major, completed on 26th June, Symphony No 40 in G minor, completed on 25th July and Symphony No. 41 in C major, the “Jupiter”, dated 10th August – is unquestionably the composer’s “Symphonic Testament”.
