Mozart: Symphonies Nos. 39,40,41 "Jupiter"

Ensemble Resonanz 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.
