I’ll see if I can find a free recording of it. Can’t make any promises, tho.

Here it is on YouTube with authentic 18th century orchestra.

Symphony No. 40 In G Minor

Here is Requiem Mass D minor if anyone is interested.

Thanks. :)

I'll go with Schumann on this one. To me Mozart is alway "Grecian lightness and grace". Very beautiful, yes, but I never feel great depth of emotion or any "plunge to the abyss of the soul."

I like the George Szell / Cleveland Symphony version a little more, but that's what usually happens to me with George Szel and the Cleveland. They got a spell on me. Thank you for the link to that, RushIsMyTeddyBear.

Cordially,

Wow. Powerful. I had never seen that video and had a very emotional response in a couple of places.

Mozart + Bernstein + that symphony orchestra! What a tribute to the magic of human teamwork, and how the whole exceeds the sum of its parts.
