Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 41, 25 & 32

Editorial Reviews
Amazon.com
Mozart's music is so popular that it's easy to forget that it's by no means easy to play well. Many great conductors have made a mess of it, and there's no reason to assume that only the "big names" turn in great performances. Something really went right at these sessions, for these are truly good renditions, full of vitality, charm, and that certain elegant simplicity that lies at the heart of Mozart's music. No apologies necessary for the budget price, or the performer's relative lack of fame. --David Hurwitz

4 out of 5 stars A good bargain.......2007-07-11

A bargain set, which whilst quirkily performed (in places), is a never-the-less continually entertaining to re-visit.

5 out of 5 stars Great compilation of Mozart!.......2007-01-12

If you want to get the best of Mozart with a fabulous composer than this cd is the one for you. I am not a music critic, just a biology major who studies well listening to these classics -- they really help keep me focused!! Awsome symphonies at a great price -- what could be better?!?!

4 out of 5 stars Good collection.......2006-12-21

I particularly found Symphonies 25 and 40 to be very nice to listen to. The the rest of them I found to be ok, maybe since I am not a big fan of classical music. I bought this cd because I went to a symphony that played Mozart no. 25 which I enjoyed very much. Hence I decided to try out his other compositions.

4 out of 5 stars Retrograde Mozart with undeniable heart.......2005-12-04

Leonard Bernstein thought that every composer was a romantic because he was. These big, heart-on-sleeve performances of Mozart's great late symphonies use the Vienna Phil. at almost full force--they could slip into the Brahms First without adding personnel. Bernstein lived long enough to theoretically be influenced by the period-instrument movement, but his allegiance never shifted. He belongs with Karajan and Bohm as the last conductors for whom Mozart should sound "important."

At its best, this approach yields romantic depth, perhaps not what Mozart intended but valid in its way. I would rather listen to Bernstein's Mozart symphonies than Karajan's (tending to be slick and glossy, although better than reputed) or Bohm's (brisk and faceless). A new listener should know in advance that the slow movements will be expressively drawn out and the minuets often slow and heavy-footed (these dancers are wearing boots). But Bernstein believes in this music, and he is always genuine. That ocunts for a lot with a composer who used to be played as if he were a porcelain doll and is now too often played as if his divine music were written by a Roccoco computer. Four stars.

5 out of 5 stars Mozart: The Great Late Symphonies.......2004-06-16

What a great album we have here. Leonard Bernstein conducts the later symphonies of Mozart, which are considered to be his most mature and his greatest works for full orchestra. This album is worth the price and a treasure to own for your extensive classical music collection. If you appreciate classical music, you'll truly enjoy this album. Everyone knows that Leonar Bernstein ranks among one of the best conductors of the 20th century, right up there with the great names of Herbert Von Karajan, Bruno Walter, Sir Neville Marriner, all who have held their own when it comes to Mozart's music. Karajan I feel is not quite as good when it comes to Mozart's symphonic works. Bruno Walter and Sir Neville Marriner have long surpassed Karajan in the area of Mozart symphonies. Indeed, if you get the chance be sure to check out symphonies conducted by either Bruno Walter or Sir Neville Marriner. Marriner and the Acadamy Of Saint Martin In The Fields did mostly Mozart and provided the music of the 1984 Milos Forman film Amadeus.

The reason this album is so good is Leonard Bernstein conducting. As a conductor and a musically atuned soul, he seems to really interpret these symphonies perfectly. He gets Mozart. He has captured every note, every vibrato, roulade, flowing lines and bouncy but balanced joy in every allegro movement, such as the first movement of the Prague Symphony No. 38. For contrast, he understood the substance and darkness that seems to be written into the Allegro of the Symphony No. 25. The first movement is meant to sound furious, anguished and complex, and fast in a darker sort of mood. It's one of those rare moments in which Mozart foreshadows the Romantic Era that would begin with Beethoven. Mozart would also do this with the andante of his 21st piano concerto and the opening movement of the Piano Concerto No. 20. The last symphonies 40 and 41, "Haffner" and "Jupiter" are regarded as Mozart's most mature works for the symphony. The orchestra is more panoramic and produces a less lighter texture. The music is a fully developed Mozart in his later years. The Jupiter is his grandest. Its name conjures up the vastness of the planet Jupiter or the majesty of the Roman god Jupiter. Get this album if you're a fan of Mozart and a fan of the conductor Leonard Bernstein who aptly conducted the New York Philharmonic for many years and the Berlin Philharmonic towards the end of his life.

Amazon.com essential recording

This was the set that really got the "authentic instrument" craze going. It was a big, ambitious project that promised a fresh look at familiar music, as well as lots of exciting new discoveries. Christopher Hogwood tailored his forces to match what we know of the actual size and constitution of the orchestras of the period, and since Mozart wrote symphonies in every country in Europe, including England, France, Italy, Germany, Austria and Czechoslovakia, the result is practically a blueprint of 18th-century orchestral practice. Then everyone else got into the act, and these performances sort of fell off the musical map. Listening to them again, one finds they hold up rather well. There's still the sense of discovery, and of course the music itself is glorious. At budget price, this is history in sound. --David Hurwitz

4 out of 5 stars The original, original instrument take.......2007-05-03

A few months ago I bought the Trevor Pinnock Mozart Complete Symphonies (11 cds) and the 250th Anniversary Edition Mozart Symphonies (8 cds) that is not quite a complete symphony cycle. The Anniversary Edition features Harnoncourt on about 5 of the 8 discs. I also have his two CD twofers that cover the early symphonies. So, I more or less ended up with two complete renditions of Mozart's symphonies. I first bought the Harnoncourt early symphony 2fer and enjoyed it enough to buy volume two. This led me to buy the 250 Anniversay 8 cd set. I have not in the least regretted these purchases!

Harnoncourt is the most radical of these three original instrument takes on Mozart, especially in the late symphonies. For example, listen to symphony 29 by each of these three sets and compare them to the Karl Bohm benchmark 29th. Harnoncourt is Ricky Racer and Bohm is Mr. Serene and Majestic.

Obviously, price is only one of the factors in buying. The AAM costs more but has almost twice the music. The AAM set is probably the more collectable since they got there first. This set was issued in multiple lp boxes way back when and I recently watched just one of these boxes, unopened, go for over 80 bucks at EBAY.

There really is quite a sound difference between modern and original instruments. Rhapsody has the Mozart Horn Concertos posted by the AAM using an apparently valveless horn. Listen to this very squeaky rendition and compare it to Brain's to get a feel for the difference. They also have the Philips Complete Mozart Piano Concerto box that features a pianoforte on disc one of concertos 1 to 4. This instrument sounds more like a harpsichord than a piano and took some adjusting to get used to. The Smithsonian put out on vinyl (circa 1980) The Six Brandenburg Concerti by Bach on original instruments. The booklet gives quite a bit of info on the differences in instruments between modern and original. Here are a few snippets: "The brass instruments were, until the 19th century, valveless." This reduced the number of notes available. "The wind instruments of Bach's time had few keys--the transverse flute had one, the oboe two or three, and the bassoon three--calling for contrived fingerings to cover the full chromatic scale." "The music produced by a Baroque bow is characteristically tapered in shape, with great potential for a lively distinction between notes."

The bottom line for me is that Mozart, when well played, conducted, and recorded, sounds great--be it original instruments or modern. Having both modern and original choices is great. Life is wonderful with changes in flavor. I have only listened once to the AAM Mozart symphonies and have not done a compare and contrast between these and Pinnock's, etc. I was impressed by the consistency in performance and that being very good. It is really quite a feat to put out 19 cds and have them sound great from stem to stern. As an ADD recording, these give the DDDs a run for the money. The AAM Mozart Symphony cycle is posted at Rhapsody so you can look before you leap if you are in the market.

5 out of 5 stars The most complete set of Mozart symphonies ever recorded.......2006-08-10

This massive 19 CD collection contains 71 symphonies!

Yes, all 41 of the usual symphonies are here, but another 27 symphonic works are presented, as well as alternative versions of symphonies Nos. 31, 35 & 40. The works are all recorded on period instruments (or modern copies of 18th century instruments) and the orchestra is accompanied throughout by harpsichord continuo. The sounds of the various sections of the orchestra are full of colour and character - the wind and brass players, in particular, make this set such a delightful one.

I also have the Pinnock recording, which contains only the standard 41 symphonies and it is every bit as good. I can really make up my mind which I prefer, although Pinnock's reading of symphony No. 40 is sublime - particularly in the beautiful slow movement. However, Hogwood and his Academy of Ancient Music play almost all these symphonies with great gusto and style. As another reviewer said, Hogwood allows his musicians to simply play the music and let Mozart's music live in a natural and "organic" way, with minimal interference from the conductor.

Each work tells a story and the recordings of these works remind us of the fact that Mozart wasn't some sort of proto-Beethoven, rather, his music was more like the culmination of many 18th century currents, trends and ideas - "Baroque music on steroids", even! ;-))

This is a set which is very close to my heart and I consider it one of the treasures in my home. I return to it often - at any time of the day or night.

5 out of 5 stars Indispensable .......2004-11-13

This set is indispensable for anyone who seriously wants to have a complete Mozart collection. It contains every symphonic work written by Mozart, including second versions of certain late symphonies.

The playing is "alive" and fresh, the sound is full, warm and clear. What you get is not Hogwood's "interpretation"...but music and just the music, this guy understands Mozart and just lets these musicians play with joy, spontaneity, meaning and feeling. I didn't think they would be so good! There are times when you don't even notice that they're playing on period instruments.

This set is completely satisfying and I'm glad I own it. It's a pricy box set, but totally worth it...try to find it used and bask in the glory of Mozart.

3 out of 5 stars Ok, but...........2004-06-30

I will qualify this review by saying that I have not by any means listened to every single symphony on this recording. I listened to several of the symphonies from this set for a conducting class, and spent a considerable amount of time comparing them with other recordings for phrase structure, dynamics, etc. My conclusion:

Overall, I am personally just not impressed by Hogwood. His handling of the phrases is rough, and the music just doesn't seem polished. Occasionally the balance is questionable (for example, several clarinet passages in the first movement of the 39th stick out), and at other points I get the impression that he put little planning into the organization of strong and weak bars. Perhaps it is mostly personal preference, but other conductors really do sound better.

I think that this recording has its place, as there are few boxed sets of all of Mozart's symphonies available, and certainly there was some groundbreaking period instrument work here. I would, however, strongly recommend that anyone considering purchasing this set actually obtain a copy first from a library to decide if this is really what they want.

5 out of 5 stars A milestone set, and worthy of all praise.......2004-04-29

In the 1970s, the Hungarian conductor Antal Dorati recorded all of the 104 symphonies of Franz Joseph Haydn (Amazon asin # B0000042DP). The era of "epic" integral collections was ignited. Many thought the vast majority of Haydn's symphonies would be boring, cookie-cutter works rolled out in almost assembly-line fashion. But Dorati, with excellent help from the Haydn scholar H. C. Robbins Landon, would disprove all of that, and show that there is not a dud in the whole collection. And Dorati's readings have stood the test of time.

Dorati's achievement marked the beginning of an ea that in the next 2 decades would see complete integral sets of the works of every major composer, culminating ultimately in the 1980s with Phiips complete Mozart Edition.

Shortly after Dorati finished his massive project, the Academy of Ancient Music embarked on a complete traversal of all of the "symphonies" of Mozart on period instruments, the currently reviewed item. Not just the traditional 41, but also many lesser know works. More fascinating music was unearthed. But, the milestone of this set is not the discovery of forgotten masterpieces. That had become a common daily occurence. It was the period instrument movement instead that was set free by Hogwood's achievement. With this project, Hogwood did for period instruments what Dorati did for integral cycles of lesser known works. The period instrument movement had been around for a long time. But it never quite could hit "mainstream" until Hogwood made these recordings. And ever since, period instruments have flourished.

There are better recordings of many of the works in this set, both on period instruments and conventional instruments. But the consistency that runs through the set brings an appreciation for Mozart's Symphonies that is unparallelled.

The set is competitively priced, the sound is very good throughout, there is decent documentation.

Mozart's music is so popular that it's easy to forget that it's by no means easy to play well. Many great conductors have made a mess of it, and there's no reason to assume that only the "big names" turn in great performances. Something really went right at these sessions, for these are truly good renditions, full of vitality, charm, and that certain elegant simplicity that lies at the heart of Mozart's music. No apologies necessary for the budget price, or the performer's relative lack of fame. --David Hurwitz

4 out of 5 stars Better than the Berlin Philharmonic/Böhm.......2004-09-25

This was one of the first Naxos discs that I purchased quite a few years ago, and because I was at that time somewhat sceptical about the ability of a label based in Hong Kong to produce good recordings at budget price with Eastern European orchestras, I decided to make some comparisons with low-priced re-releases from major labels. The comparisons did not always turn out in Naxos' favour, although generally I was impressed at the level of quality the company was able to maintain. But in this particular instance, after listening both to Wordsworth and the Capella Istropolitana on Naxos and to the 1962 Berlin Philharmonic re-release of Mozart's 'Jupiter Symphony' (directed by Karl Böhm), I felt that Naxos had won hands-down.

Why? Well, although some of Böhm's instruments (I'm thinking in particular of the flute) sound a little better - the flute on the Wordsworth sounds too 'breathy' -, the smaller Capella Istropolitana manages to produce a performance that offers real transprarency: here you really hear everything that is going on, whereas the Berlin recording seems at least occasionally to get 'drowned' in its heavy strings. But what really clinches it is the way that Barry Wordsworth takes the whole symphony in a much more relaxed manner: his tempi are much slower, but that nowhere seems to drag the music out, although he needs over three minutes longer on each of three of the four movements. Only on the Menuetto: Allegretto does he allow himself a slightly faster tempo than Böhm, and this also seems to work very well. Böhm takes the first movement 'Allegro vivace' at presto, which sounds over-hurried, and if the first three movements from Böhm are still fairly 'listenable', then it is the fourth movement 'Molto allegro' which finally clinches the victory for Wordsworth: While Böhm charges through it, really robbing the movement of its beauty and making it more or less impossible to hear its wonderful fugue-like structure, Wordsworth takes it at a much more leisurely pace and makes sure that you can hear and appreciate what Mozart is doing.

I'm not pretending that the Naxos disc is perfect, there is occasionally some noise on the recording and the stereo panorama could have been broader. But compared with Böhm on Deutsche Grammophon the disc is well worth its price. And, of course, you also get a sympathetic version of Mozart's Symphony No. 25 (with occasionally somewhat weak bassoons) and a rather brilliant one-movement Symphony No. 32 into the bargain. Unless you are an absolute perfectionist, I would say, 'Go for it!' If you are an absolute perfectionist, you should be thinking about spending more money for this music!

5 out of 5 stars Very Good Mozart Symphonies!.......2002-01-17

Barry Wordsworth leads this orchestra with three dynamic Mozart symphonies: No.41 in C Major "Jupiter" K.551, No.25 in G minor, K.183 (which was used in the opening of the famous movie "Amadeus"), and Symphony No.32 in G Major, K.318. The "Jupiter" Symphony is very well done, recorded in modern digital sound. The fantastic last movement of this symphony is full of energy and vitality. Symphony No.25 is also nicely performed, with the above-mentioned dramatic opening theme. This is yet another outstanding release from Naxos, a quality recording at a price that's nice! You can't go wrong here.

      There are only six truly "late" Mozart symphonies--if anything can be called late when the composer died at age 35. These are numbers 35 through 41 (there is no 37, as it's by Michael Haydn). All of the others are fairly early works of varying worth, but they still have plenty of charm and an unflagging fund of melody. Sir Neville Marriner's performances are completely reliable, if perhaps lacking the last ounce of fantasy. You won't be disappointed in any case. --David Hurwitz

      5 out of 5 stars Great compilation of Mozart's later symphonies..........2007-03-06

      ...and few do it better than Sir Neville Marriner. Still, go look for the complete symphonies (ASIN B0000501PD), which is all of his symphonies (some 52 or so including those that are unnumbered). This set can be found much cheaper used...I picked it up for 48 bucks on this site. It has the exact same performances of symphonies 21-41 that are here, plus another 30 or so symphonies and it's 40 bucks cheaper than this set. Look for it, and go get it. I was very impressed with the entire set, Marriner is about as steady as they come for Mozart, with the possible exception of Karl Bohm.

      5 out of 5 stars Nice little package.......2002-01-16

      Symphonies 21 to 41 ("Jupiter"), with the Minuet in C (K. 409). Solid performances. Are there better? Perhaps--but not in one set like this, really. I think Sir Neville shines more here than in the complete piano concerti set. So spin these discs, lie back, and float downstream. Dig it.

      5 out of 5 stars A great package.......2000-08-11

      Obviously this is a lot of money to blow all at once. If you can possibly find it used somewhere though, don't hesitate. Marriner and company do an excellent 29th, and to have that AND the 25th AND all the late symphonies in one package is terrific. For my money, only Bruno Walter was a better interpreter of the Mozart symphonies, and then not by much.

      5 out of 5 stars Mozar'ts Greatest Symphonies.......2000-08-11

      It is through his symphonies that we see a musically mature Mozart. It is a fine example of the symphony itself. It is the Classical Era where the symphony began. The Haydn symphonies of course are probably the most prolific in the genre.. and some would say best. However, Mozart's later symphonies are highlights of the Classical Symphony. Marriner of course, is the best interpretor of Mozart. The symphony 25 shows from its opening movement the "dark" sound that is so definitive of the Romantic Era. Symphony no. 40 and 41 does the same. Mozart's later symphonies move from the classical to the next movement in music. These symphonies are a must have for the lovers of classical music itself... and for the lover of the music of Mozart

      5 out of 5 stars Mozart's Peak.......2000-06-19

      Although quite an investment, anything so encompassing of Mozart's grandeur is money well-spent. The later symphonies were when he truly perfected the art--I do like 18 & 19 however. Haffner and Linz (35 & 36) are mastered by Mariner, Brendel, and their Academy.

        5 out of 5 stars Essential recordings!.......2006-08-10


        All of us know about the grandness that Walter conferred Mozart. And these recordings made with the New York Philharmonic were featured by that pristine elegance, enraptured lyricism and superb drive; Walter's conveyance is so abundant in hues and sheer clarity that it constitutes a true artistic achievement of first order. To be absolutely honest, tese recordings never surpass in vibrant expressiveness to his cycle with the Vienna Philharmonic in 1933 (unexplainable missed from the market a triple album by EMI records please write the code CHS 7 63912 2 ) but possess a divine majesty and a majuscule outburst of displayed energy.

        You should not miss this set before it is out of print.
