Mozart’s Triple Crown
Featuring
Pinchas Zukerman, conductor
MOZART Symphony No. 39
MOZART Symphony No. 40
MOZART Symphony No. 41, "Jupiter"
No one disputes that Mozart’s awe-inspiring final trilogy of symphonies is his crowning achievement in that form. Though it was composed when Mozart’s fortunes had crumbled, Symphony No. 39 betrays none of his woes. Just one month later, he completed Symphony No. 40 – a haunting masterpiece that continues to move listeners today. And a mere 16 days thereafter, he gave the world his noble Symphony No. 41, "Jupiter", aptly named for the king of the gods. "Experiencing all three symphonies together," says Maestro Zukerman, "creates one powerful, emotional arc, as if they were all one glorious work."
