Mozart Symphonies - SCO & Sir Charles Mackerras - The Observer

The Scottish Chamber Orchestra has now enjoyed a long and fruitful collaboration with Sir Charles Mackerras, under whom they play these works in Edinburgh and Glasgow this week. Mozart's last four symphonies, climaxing in the great 'Jupiter', have rarely shone as luminously as in these uplifting accounts, perfectly paced and rich in fine orchestral detail. The SCO's gifted players combine with Mackerras's lifetime of Mozart to produce versions as fine as any in the catalogue.
