CANCELLED: Symphoniker Hamburg / Sylvain Cambreling

Mozart’s Symphony No. 39 is the first of his last three great symphonies, written in 1788 during a veritable personal and artistic crisis. But the score gives no hint of the »black thoughts« that the composer himself referred to: the music is bright and radiant. The introduction to the first movement leads like a portal into the lyrical main subject. The minuet is full of slightly coarse boisterousness, while the last movement delights with pure und unaffected joie de vivre.
