Hi, thanks I am 81 yrs old and have always enjoyed mozarts who for me is the greatest composer ever and always brings a lump in my throat with his music. Fred h.
A delightful performance of a legendary composition by obviously master musicians. I'm just not sure what the hurry is with virtually all the modern renditions of this magnificent piece. The ears can pick up so much more when this symphony, especially the third and fourth movements, are played at a slower pace. Such a shame to rush through the mesmerizing magic of Mozart!
I actually rejected two other YT versions (Cantata Camerata & Frankfurt Radio Symphony) for that exact reason - if you think this one is fast you should hear them! On the whole, I found the tempi here (directed by the invisible Simon Blendis) to be pretty good - in fact, I felt the finale, if anything, could be a bit more zippy (if they could handle it). It was the “slow” movement, to my ears, where it seemed like they couldn’t wait to be rid of it! But, in general, I know what you mean about modern trends - and not only in this piece, of course.
@@CloudyMcCloud00 Yes, I've listened to them all pretty much, including HvK's and Bernstein's recordings, and they universally just can't wait to get through the piece. Presently on YT, there is a remastered 1960 recording of this symphony by Wiener Phil. under the direction of Ferenc Fricsay--a "reference recording"--that's definitely worth a listen. The problem there is that for my taste anyway, the first and especially the second mvmts. are a bit too slow (just can't seem to win...the old Goldilocks tale! LOL), but the clarity of the remastered work is truly remarkable. And Fricsay absolutely nails the last two mvmts. of this otherworldly composition, to the point of giving me goosebumps and bringing me to tears every time I listen. I highly recommend it!
@@VelocityOfAFallingRock Aha! I've yet to find a recording of this that really nails it - and Fricsay's is the one I have been meaning to check out just recently as I've seen it popping up in my feed and somehow it looked interesting. So thank you for the prompting. Years ago, I acquired Bernstein's "famous" rendition and immediately hated it (wasn't it ridiculously slow, though?). I also have HvK set of "late" Mozart symphonies - and the #40 is the only one I can't get on with (and can't remember exactly why as I never listen to it!). It's a wonderful work of genius, to be sure, though. I should definitely look up the Fricsay! (Just tried the opening of Bernstein with the BSO on YT, btw: a bit slow for me, but only a tad! 🤷♂)
@@CloudyMcCloud00 YVW. Just wanted to add that for me, this symphony is all about mvmts. III & IV. If the conductor misses on either one, it's an automatic "Next!"
I came to the comment section because I had to make sure I wasn't the only one that thought it was a little fast. I didn't realize it but the rendition I heard first was at Ferenc Fricsay's direction, like you recommended in another comment. Definitely my preferred performance.
A wonderful performance of my favourite Mozart symphony.The 2nd movement made the hairs on the back of my neck stand up!Look forward to hearing more from this amazing group of musicians.
Absolutely magnificent! 🎉bravo! Tempi are perfect for every movement. Crisp in sound and great acoustics. Thank you to all the wonderful musicians for sharing their beautiful talent with us around the world via youtube. Ciao😊
Mozart is surely the greatest classical composer of all time. Although he had a short life of only 35 years, he produced over 800 works of music, he was a complete genius, and his legacy will live on forever.
For an interesting aside, the Dutch band The Gathering recorded a tribute song tomMozart called Travel. It too is very emotional. This piece is highlighted in the lyric, :Leaning over your fortieth masterpiece, you must have ;loved the colour of the violins...You fit of insanity makes me sad...I wish you knew your music would stay forever..." Their song can be called Symphonic Metal. But The Gathering were unique in their own right. And their vocalist, Anneke van Giersbergen, is amazing. The best live version is their 2007 live concert. Give it a listen.
550 ….. Nice fast tempo …from Classical period to enlighten my brain cells! Where are you Wolfgang, wo sind Sie Wolfgang? Humanity needs you in person!
The camera must have a microphone because when I see oboes I hear oboes and when I see flutes I hear flutes Ok same with the violas I’m starting to think editing had something to with this...now I think it is my brain isolating the track due to optical input
I bet Mozart could hear the whole symphony and all instruments in his head at once; it was just a mundane business of writing down the score, so we could hear it as well.

Very true, not a pop song! The advertising helps to fund the Orchestra and means we can keep doing things like this (and we're working on getting them to appear at more suitable points as well).
Little known is the fact that Mozart actually stole the melody from a Bollywood song called ‘Itna na mujhse tu pyar badha’ ruclips.net/video/iZUcBGRoLqo/видео.htmlsi=POK9r6XlH-39Rvub

Sshhhh. You'll upset the Bach and Beethoven fans!
@@LondonMozartPlayers Bach composed math, Beethoven composed ambience, but Mozart composed music (in my book)
@@LondonMozartPlayersjust summoned a J.S Bach fan
loving the wind instruments in the second movement 🙂
thankyou for sharing this great music..
Wonderful! And your principal clarinet player has an absolutely gorgeous tone.
Phew, that was ace! It's good to hear the revised version given an outing. Tip-top playing by all.
Glad you enjoyed!
Fantastic orchestra! Highly recommended listening
Thanks Joanna!
Fabulous performance.

absolute beauty
Mozart is my God. I love him so much, he brings joy into my life. Thank you so much for sharing this gem. Wonderful musicians!
Thanks for listening
Outstanding performance. Even my least favouirte movement (2nd) sounded vibrant and engaging. Loved it front to back.
I can feel the aesthetics of Mozart with their breathtaking performance
Brilliant! joy in sorrow. It is morning that my soul is perfectly cleansed by this.
Soo beautiful!!
Thank you! 😊
Beautiful
Beautiful! 💗
Thank you! 😊

Im 17 and i promise to keep the real aet alive
I like the songs that Mozart makes
*piece
Ya
The orchestra made me feel like I was doing something challenging
😅😅😅
Excellent, thanks
K 550 & 551 ( Jupiter ) should be listened more frequently in these troubled times. Specifically western leaders take notice!
550 ….. Nice fast tempo …from Classical period to enlighten my brain cells!
Where are you Wolfgang, wo sind Sie Wolfgang? Humanity needs you in person!

The film crew look at the music beforehand - so they know when they should focus on what instruments.
@@LondonMozartPlayers Thank you! This music moves me to tears of joy. It’s almost like flying without a plane.
I bet Mozart could hear the whole symphony and all instruments in his head at once; it was just a mundane business of writing down the score, so we could hear it as well.
GAZA IS BURNING 🥵
❤
I feel like im the youngest in the comment section rn... also great music ❤
the less i know the better -tame impala
Some people prefer Mozart.. Some others prefer Beethoven.
С рекламой надоели!
НЕ даёте слушать!
who interrupts Mozart with a stupid commercial...ridiculous

Очень плохо 2 часть-6/8. 3 часть-это не Вальс на раз.Мало вибрато😢
Little known is the fact that Mozart actually stole the melody from a Bollywood song called ‘Itna na mujhse tu pyar badha’
ruclips.net/video/iZUcBGRoLqo/видео.htmlsi=POK9r6XlH-39Rvub
LMAO !
Quality Mozart, no doubt abt it but they have to invent better and more serious clothing. Rag-tag orchestra.
Too much bass. Can't enjoy the high note enough do get some sweet level of dopamine. Sorry ^^
You must really dislike Boroque Era music then. 😂 that basso continuo my irritate you.
