Mozart may not have known the ‘Jupiter’ symphony would become his last, but it’s hard to imagine how he could have followed it. Mozart’s last symphony is a work of majestic intensity and liberation but also a continuous stream of musical joy that wears its brilliance lightly. Before it, titan of the piano Martha Argerich joins Marios Papadopoulos and the Orchestra for a score Beethoven wrote to showcase his own virtuosity. The C major Piano Concerto portrays the influence of Mozart, but shoes signs of Beethoven’s unmistakable heroic brilliance too.
