Which of Mozart's No.39 & 41 CD should I get?


Hello.

Based on the great input I got from my thread about Ravel' s Bolero, here's my last question: which CD or CDs with Mozart's Symphonies #39 and #41 should I get?

As before, my system can only read CDs, including HDCD, and I'm only starting to get into classical.

Thanks much!

I have the Bohm, Mackeras,and Gardner and those are all very nice. Another very fine choice is Pinnock's on Archive - I have the box set but the individual symphonies may also be available. The interpretations from all of these conductors are very different from each other. Classical music listening is an incredibly endless and rewarding pastime - it can be an acquired taste for some - but well worth the time.
Learsfool: While you are at it, take a listen to Abbado and Giulianno Carmignola on Archive for Mozart's violin concertos and sinfonia concertanta. Just released in 08 and very nice - also got a nice writeup in Gramaphone, I believe it was.
