About
Mozart’s Symphony No. 41, “Jupiter,” represents the radiant pinnacle of classical orchestration, which was developed by composers such as Berlin, Stamitz, and Kraus during the eighteenth century. While the stunning Sinfonia featuring cornett by German-Norwegian musician Johan Daniel Berlin (1714-1787) resonates with echoes of the late baroque, Carl Stamitz was part of the Mannheim school which was so crucial to the development of orchestral music. It paved the way for the classical style of Johann Martin Kraus and Mozart, two composers born in the same year. However, Jupiter also draws on Bach and Handel, whom Mozart had discovered a few years earlier. This fruitful dialogue between past and present reaches its apogee in the final movement, which is both a technical tour de force and a jubilant apotheosis.
