This was the first time I had listened to Symphony #40 in its entirety in years. I have never heard such a sparkling interpretation. There was so much to see and hear. I loved how Ahss conducted downbeats by prepositioning his bow for the downstroke. Also, this performance had much of the intensity of a great chamber concert, because every player was distinctly responsible for the integrity of the ensemble. Bravi!

Hands down, the best, most intense, nuanced, and joyfully played performance of Symphony 40 I’ve ever heard. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🥰

This is incredible. I hope they do more of Mozart like this.

I think the profundity of the second movement is so totally unique, those depts will not be reached again until well entered the Beethovenian era. In all the classic symphonic output of the time, there's no sound and dept comparable.
And man, THE MENUETTO! speechless.

This is one of the greatest symphonies ever composed. It was my introduction to Mozart over 60 years ago, and has resulted in a life-long devotion to this immortal genius.

This is the most perfect realization I ever heard of Mozart;'s great g minor symphony. MOLTO ALLEGRO, passion, shading, clarity, superb rhythm, just not enough words to praise it.

[michaelduron]

Absolutely delightful! The strings play with such incision, directness and complement the winds beautifully!

[albertcarello]

This has always been one of my favorites for life!

[geisterglow]

I love selection of the 1st violinist as conductor too as well as the somewhat stunned silence at the conclusion

[orchestraCarpeDiem]

I have only listened to 5 minutes of this recording, but I needed to pause the video and write you - thank you so much! It is a great pleasure to listen to you and to watch to you as a group - you are great!

I've heard this multiple times since I was a child - well, it's one of the most famous pieces of classical music after all - but never, ever have I heard it played like this. This is at a whole new level. All the nuances and the feeling of the music. It really feels like the music is in the silence between the notes.
And yes, this is proof that Mozart was - and is - the best composer ever.
