Lucerne Festival 2013: Simon Rattle conducts Mozart – The Last Three Symphonies

Synopsis

Simon Rattle and the Berlin Philharmonic take on a myth with their complete performance of the last three symphonies by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. For the Romantics, these three scores represented Mozart’ legacy to posterity – but for Rattle they signify an interpretive challenge of the first order: “Here human emotions are pushed to the absolute extreme,” he explains. Mozart’s music is in any case incomparable: “It is deeply emotional and passionate and dark and dangerous and cheerful like no other music that has ever been written.” —– PROGRAM: Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart: Symphony in E-flat major, K. 543 / Symphony in G minor, K. 550 / Symphony in C major, K. 551 (Jupiter)
