Symphonies Nos 39 & 40

Symphonies Nos 39 & 40

After a decade immersed in the great Mozart operas (to universal critical acclaim) RenÃ© Jacobs returns to the late symphonies, leading the outstanding Freiburger Barockorchester. As with his previous recordings, his unique, operatic approach
to classical-period symphonies brings new life to these scores, particularly in terms of phrasing and clarity of texture. Jacobs says of his approach to this music, A lot of people think period instrument performance means everything fast. I stick very much to the drama and the delivery of speech. I know that, say, Mozart s own tempi were faster than what is now usual, but, on the other hand, there are also moments when time must stand still.
