Along with Requiem in D minor, the Jupiter Symphony is one of Mozart's greatest works. The first and fourth movements are especially brilliant. The Sonata/fugue used in the fourth movement is something unparalleled in the Classical period

One of the best symphonies ever written, if not the best symphony ever written.

Why the hell does sputnik have classical music? I mean, I love it, but how am I supposed to compare Brahms to Joyce Manor?

In just few months time in 1788. Mozart composed his last three fantastic symphonies besides some more chamber music. The last in C major nicknamed "Jupiter" is most cheerful of them, but it's impossible to say that it's the best. All three are exquisite, one more beautiful then the other.rThis particular symphony is famous for it's quadruple counterpoint in the last movement which is mind blowing, but all movements are exceptional in their own right. I would recommend performances conducted by Nikolaus Harnoncourt, who's interpretations of Mozart's menuet movements are right on the spot, I think, at least I never heard better ones.

jupiter is relentlessly praised as one of the most famous of mozart's symphonies, but the reality is his very late works are haphazard without reason and minimally executed, the fact that they were his very last works being the only reason for their fame. likewise only movement iv of jupiter is worth any attention, and even then he had composed far, far greater works before his untimely death

Incredible symphony, with a sort of grave finality to it (as hindsight-laden an opinion as that may be). The slow movement is Mozart's very best slow movement across any piece he ever wrote, and the finale is the best single movement of any of his symphonies, bar none. Everything else is energetic (and bombastic, in the case of the finale), but a fragment of the bounce and positivity from previous symphonies is gone. At the least, it's the work of a man maturing - with context, it's the work of a man whose light was just 3 years away from shutting off for good and had the foresight to create a magnum opus such as this before it did.

Symphonic Apogee of the Classical era.
Compedium of musical theory.
« One of the greatest wonders of symphonic music especially because of its finally.
In this last mouvement, the polyphonic genius of the great master
is revealed at the height of his amazing power «
