The buzz words of today are period instruments, fast tempi etc. It is with relief I return to the Mozart of my youth, interpreted with great dignity and understanding by Maestro Klemperer.
The last movement is very concise and cohesive. As always with Klemperer, the piece proceeds with a 'firm footstep'. No embellishments or superficial beauty. No unduly micromanaged dynamics. Each instrument's phrases flow smoothly from one to the next.
I have this on a 33CX columbia paired with sy no 29. Yes - this is the best recording I have ever heard of no 41 - no sluggishness here - fast exciting drama and the last movement packs a powerful punch.
Sensazionale. Tempi stretti, lontanissimi dalla proverbiale (ma non sempre reale) lentezza di Klemperer. Nerbo ritmico assoluto, assenza totale di grazia. Mozart trattato come si deve: da gigantesco musicista, non da divino fanciullo. Niente psicologia, niente sentimenti. Solo forma. Un ascolto esaltante.
@@Fritz_Maisenbacher He didn't say it wasn't. Just that his tempi in this case were far from the slow ones that he tends to be known for, showing that such label wasn't entirely accurate. As with every label, we could add, as they are always simplifications.
Spannende Interpretation dieses ewigen Meisterwerks mit perfekter Kontrolle aller Instrumente. Der geniale Dirigent leitet das ganze Orchester mit klarer Dynamik und im relativ schnellen Tempo. Echt erstklassig!

This 1954 mono recording is much finer than the later stereo version. This is truly OK at his finest.
I totally agree. And it is about a minute faster, even with the 4th movement exposition repeat.
The last movement is very concise and cohesive. As always with Klemperer, the piece proceeds with a 'firm footstep'. No embellishments or superficial beauty. No unduly micromanaged dynamics. Each instrument's phrases flow smoothly from one to the next.
Remembering OTTO KLEMPERER, who died on this day in 1973.

Sincere Gratitude. My very favorite interpreter of M's symphonies...

Dr Klemperer's daughter had told me this recording exists; but I'd not come across it until now. Thanks for posting!
It's an Emi Columbia recording made by Walter Legge. British number of the record is 33CX 1257 and contains also symphony #29 K 201
A GENIUS
Mozart completely naked ... emotionnal , obsessionnal , pure , .... nobody had the nerve to give us this kind of exaltation .....
Bruno Walter, a wholly different approach but here his Jupiter, stunning esp final movement
