  • perfect tempo

  • I love it, very interesting interpretation of the 40th. I usually prefer it slower but I think this turns out just right.

  • @Leitilumo It isn't really correct to have basso continuo/harpsichord this late in the era I don't really think ... they had been lost earlier on

  • @SilenceTheQuiet just from things I've read, he could be a bit arrogant because, obviously, he knew what he was capable of and that there really was no one that could match him on most things. but i agree, I LOVE HIS MUSIC!

  • The tempo is not on the point, it is about 110/100. But what the heck!

  • I will have to bookmark this

  • --Gorgeousness & Gorgocity--

  • Played faster than usual. And I think, that's good! Actually, this symphony conveys a certain amount of aggressivness behind it's beauty. An angry man, hold back by society's conventions.

  • Perfect tempo. Fast enough to feel urgent, but slow enough that the the original theme does not feel like it contains grace notes. :)

  • Agreed as far as tempo. love the song, love classical music, LOVE MOZART!!! I wish I could have met him... I wonder if he was nice or snobby...? Oh well, i don't care!

  • For me, the best tempo. Bring to light the true spirit and dynamism of Mozart's music. thanks.

  • Mackerras is usually good for a scholarly tempo. I consider him one of the best current conductors, even though he doesn't conduct the most prestigious orchestras in the world.
