Simon Rattle conducts Mozart. Symphony no. 39 in E flat major, K. 543

Description

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's 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."
