Mozart Uncovered (2004)

Symphony No. 40 in G minor

Charles Hazlewood continues his exploration of Mozart's music with an in-depth 'deconstruction' of one the composer's last three great symphonies, and one of his most enduring and popular works. Mozart composed Symphony No. 40 in 1788, and its tragic suggestiveness and deeply personal writing seem to form a climax to his orchestral output.
