Simon Rattle conducts Mozart

Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s Symphonies Nos. 39, 40 and 41, performed by the Berliner Philharmoniker under Sir Simon Rattle, captivate the listener with their blend of clarity and warmth. In these three masterpieces, the composer revisits the expressive worlds of his symphonic style, almost as if taking stock of his work. And as the press described this recording of the 2013 season opening concert, “Simon Rattle draws out the full depth of Mozart’s last three symphonies. He is not only a magnificent musician, but a sensitive artist through and through.”
