Search - Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, Charles Mackerras, Prague Chamber Orchestra :: Mozart: Symphoies Nos. 1, 4, 5, 6, 7 & 55/Symphony In F

The numbering of Mozart's symphonies is cause for some confusion. Everything after his last symphony, known as No. 41, is actually very early and belongs with his very first efforts in the medium, composed at the ripe old age of around eight. Actually, no one really knows how much of this music was the work of the young Mozart, and how much was the result of his father's help. It really doesn't matter. These fresh and lively performances make the issue irrelevant. --David Hurwitz
