Mozart’s last three symphonies reveal the composer at the absolute height of his powers while invoking in listeners the most diverse moods and emotions. Symphony No. 39 encompasses both tension and splendour, No. 40 is marked by mystery and drama, while the “Jupiter” has its moments of solemnity and triumph. In this concert, they will be interpreted with verve, transparency and tonal sensitivity by Simon Rattle and the Mahler Chamber Orchestra: musicians with a special feeling for these works.
