I just realized: I'm guessing the red worn by many of the musicians is a nod to the portrait of Mozart wearing a red jacket? I love it!!

[@LondonMozartPlayers]

Our musicians always wear a flash of red on stage, but not sure it was an intentional nod that famous portrait!

[@cyeric4x]

Without a conductor, yet these players show their exceptional caliber in displaying the thrust of the tempo in Mozart's mind. Amazingly Beautiful!

[@tomyamartino]

I can't get enough of that finale.

[@StanObirek]

A small, almost chamber ensemble and great sound… If Mozart ever performed this symphony he would liked it to be played this way.

[@evyatarmoriel9314]

Cool jazz

[@dehansfromoz4979]

Wow, they know their music piece well; Mozart would be happy.

[@jgamez5023]

This is a phenomenal performance. My favorite symphony. I wonder what Mozart would've had in store for us in a Symphony 42 ?!

[@hertzair1186]

Arguably the most well-crafted symphony of all time. The fourth movement alone is staggeringly perfect counterpoint....

[@LondonMozartPlayers]

Blows you away every single time, doesn't it?

..think i heard this symphony for the first time in the early nineties.. and dozens of times since.. and as with top class pieces like this, it doesnt diminish, in fact it gets better and better! Amazing.. such talent.. to be able to write something like this.. and then play it like these guys do.. thankyou for sharing 🙂 x

[@davidevans3227]

i wonder if the London Mozart Players do any Tchaikovsky?? (my favourite..)

[@Hussain_Eidani]

Great symphony ❤ very good performance 👏 ❤

Movement IV is so wonderfully nuts

# 41 jupiter is my all-time favorite. I saw this performed live 2 years ago by my local symphony they are as well as these guys. Mozart specialist.

Absolutely Stunning performance ❤❤❤

[@papahaydn295]

Thank you for sharing this wonderful performance! The slow movement was very lyrical, very much like Mozart intended it to be played I am sure. Looking forward to future concerts from this amazing ensemble! :-)

[@Opoczynski]

Excellent. Crisp and powerful tutti.

[@ryanpmcguire]

Ha. No conductor, just the concert master. Quite the interesting touch.

[@sarahmc3186]

yeah kind of odd

[@WowDragonsJD]

I only noticed there was no conductor during the 4th movement!

[@ViceroyoftheDiptera]

It's not really an interesting touch (nor is it odd), it's just what one would call a historically informed performance. Conducting in Mozart's time was not what it is now (that came around Mendelssohn's time), and it was very common for the orchestra to be led by the first violin.

[@gautamdeusa]

Outstanding performance. Enjoyed it.

[@joannagarner6242]

Another great performance !!!

[@cinemashow-5]

I love hearing the figure played on the flute at 24:55 and 25:00.

[@cinemashow-5]

Starting at 24:52, it's theme 4 (violins), then theme 5 (oboe), and finally theme 3 (bassoons) and theme 2 (flute) starting almost on top of each other; this sequence then repeated. Really love this bit.

[@leslietownsend9168]

A rather beautiful interpretation of the 2nd movement particularly. Look forward to hearing the Mozart players live again.

[@davidevans3227]

tickled by rain drops lol 🙂 x

Uplifting and engaging ;performance. Could advertisers PLEASE come on before the performance as the interruptions are very distracting to this wonderful music. Thank you.

[@tjwhite1963]

Lovely, energetic performance! And I quite like it! But where is the indispensable continuo instrument? If not a harpsichord, at least a Walter fortepiano, such as Mozart himself owned and would have used. ...

[@herbertglass4941]

No continuo would have been used in the late symphonies, not even in many of the early ones. Keyboard could never have cut through the brass.

[@tjwhite1963]

@herbertglass4941 I disagree. Emphatically. Even Beethoven routinely called for an orchestral continuo, right through to his Emperor Concerto No. 5, composed in 1809 and premiered in 1811. Continuo playing, whatever modern conductors and players may think, was in fact routine and de rigeur throughout the entirety of the Eighteenth Century, and even well into the Nineteenth Century.

I don't know what you may be saying, but yes a finely used piece of music in one of Woody Allen's movies. They were driving to the country I believe. His soundtracks were always first rate.

@@marcusio4760 Yes. I believe he was lying on a couch with small tape recorder listing the things that mattered or made life worth living. He also listed Flaubert's Sentimental Education. I believe Allen was one of those self-educated New Yorkers. Thank you. I lived in the city from 1982 to 2000.

[@sinenome77]

Inicio mal como todos menos Karl Böhm. Nunca a go,pe, pero como cortando jamón. El último movimiento se luce aunque no dominan el sonido como volumen, entero. Pero como orquesta quasi barroca mucho mejor que las sinfónicas. Simplemente porque lucen la percusión y los bajos. Normalmente éstos mueren en orquestas "clásicas" en un mar de violines. En este sentido, muy iteresante. Mozart es un desconocido para orquestas de música antigua*. ¿Por qué? Entre tantas, también ésta - 3 movimiento siempre demasiado lento, 4 movimiento dominado por violines, inicio quasi pizzicato... solo orquestas sde sonido de época sabrían darle el volumen rico del que necesita.
