jmc's classics
This is a
the anniversary of the death of one of the most famous and iconic composers Wolfgang Mozart (1756-1791). I remember a 78 RPM of him my family had of his 41st Symphony (K441) "Jupiter" which was his final symphony. That along with his Symphonia Concertante (K364) for violin viola and orchestra are my favorite works of his. The Jupiter Is on RCA with Arturo Toscanini conducting. It is available on CD. The version That I have on CD Saxonie Vertuoso conducted by Ludwig Guttler on the Berlin Classics label. Both recordings I recommend. It is in the standard four movements. The one of the Symphonia Concertante is with Anne Sophie Mutter on the violin and the Academy of St. Martin in the Fields conducted by Neville Marriner on the EMI Label. the Jupiter is in the standard four movements: Allegro, Andante, Menuetto and Molto. It is the paregram of the Classical era symphony:. four movements. It was composed in 1789. A symphonia concertante is a concerto for two or more instruments and orchestra. These works were popular in that time. It incorporates both the symphonie and the concerto. This work dates from 1779. Mozart was considered to be a genius. Some people play his music for young children to make them smart "The Mozart Effect". He wrote operas, masses a requiem, string quartets songs and other pieces. A word on older recordings: The recording technology before wwll was not as good as it is today. Many times listening to old recordings or 78 RPMs is there will be noise or a hissing sound in the background.
