Excellent recording of Mozart Jupiter No.41 ?

Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Maritn In The Fields (Philips 426 204-2, recorded in Great Britain).Sir Neville and the Academy...are more dynamic sounding with a deep rich bass section. Christopher Hogwood, Academy of Ancient Music on L'Oiseau- Lyre(421 088-2). Hogwood and the Academy use eighteenth-century instuments with the proper tecniques of playing them. The sound is as close to what Mozart intended. The sounds of the instruments are more distinct. Also, Sir George Solti with the Chamber Orchestra of Europe (Decca 448 924-2). I find Solti a bit more bold and intense in his approach to No. 41.

My personal taste leans toward Sir Neville Marriner and the Academy of St. Maritn In The Fields. Regardless of the composer, they sound very "live", and the dynamics from the high range to the low range are the best.

i've got the Mackerras, its ok nothing more..the one to get but is not reissued is the Bruno Walter with the Columbia SO

The greatest performance of this symphony bar none is a late fifties recording by Fritz Reiner/Chicago Symphony. I don't know it is available anywhere but it was aprt of a set "The Last Three Symphonies." The sound is good but the performance is astonishing; the counterpoint of the last movement is so brilliantly architected that all others pale by comparison--and there are other good performances.
