Wiener Philharm Peter Schmidl

Symphonies 39-40-41 'jupiter' Wiener Philharm Peter Schmidl

After the widespread acclaim for their previous recordings of C. P. E Bach and Haydn, the musicians of the Resonanz Ensemble of Hamburg pursue their explorations on instruments with a 'modern' set-up. Here they tackle Mozart's last three symphonies, which, it is generally agreed, 'require no introduction'. And yet Riccardo Minasi does much more than introduce them: he reintroduces them to us. The rhetorical, if not theatrical, dimension of the celebrated trilogy comes into full focus here and the result is irresistible.
