[brunobrandy]

Today is Mozart's birthday. Listen to his last symphony #41...the Jupiter. Incredible piece.

This work is outstanding! It fascinates me every time I hear it. And this performance is undoubtedly the most revealing and the boldest of all - Mozart's music should be played ALWAYS like this! Thanks for your posting.

Now this is what I call Molto Allegro! I'm wondering exactly how many orchestras in the world can play this as fast as Les Musiciens du Louvre - they're so sharp it's ridiculous. This sort of makes me want to say, "Mozart played Rameau." Admittedly, any faster and it would sound ridiculous, but I think this is very effective in presenting the whirling, charismatic, and martial nature of this piece. It's like a torrent of music, building and building in fugal energy till the very end. Bravo.

This is certainly faster than how most performers take it. Some may like it, others may not. Thanks for commenting.
