Mozart: Symphony No. 41 in C major, K551 'Jupiter'

“Mackerras's performance is as thrilling as one would expect from this great Mozart conductor.” Sunday Times

“Mackerras doesn't short-change us on the tenderness and often painful lyricism… nor is he afraid to relax the tempo as a festive or belligerent motif gives way to a gentler one, with the strings… ravishing us with their tone.” BBC Music Magazine, March 2008 *****

“…rarely will you hear such well judged orchestral balance, such effective marrying of textural transparency an substance. The Jupiter in particular has a wonderful bright grandeur, yet reveals details in the brilliant contrapuntal kaleidoscope of the finale that too often go unheard.” Gramophone Magazine, April 2008

"Mozart's late G minor has seldom been deciphered with such revolutionary zeal, such wild delight in motion, such passion in bringing out bold strokes of melody and harmony, or such churning drama. French conductor Marc Minkowski . . . showed what underlying daemonic forces went into this work of Mozart's . . ." (Süddeutsche Zeitung)

“...any recording that make someone who, like me, knows these symphonies like the back of his hand, listen to the music afresh and hear new things in it, are versions to be treasured.” Gramophone
