Building a Library on Mozart's 'Prague' Symphony - No. 38 in D, K504 - with Tom Service.

Prague was the scene of Mozart's greatest operatic triumph to date, The Marriage of Figaro, and audiences there adored him. Before Mozart brought them his next stage masterpiece, Don Giovanni, he wrote his 'Prague' Symphony, a deeply expressive, boundary-pushing symphonic drama on an unprecedented scale, bursting with ideas and energy. And that's just the first movement. It's these qualities which have appealed alike to the big-name maestros of yore and more recent period instrument ensembles, resulting in a rich and varied recorded legacy.
