In the summer of 1788, when composing his final three symphonies – a few months after the premiere of the opera Don Giovanni – Mozart reserved a more sombre, melancholic and tense mood for his Symphony No. 40 than usual, creating more of a Romantic emotional style. Though the urgency of this composition surprised his peers, the magnificence of the work was recognised by Schumann, who described it as “full of Hellenic gracefulness”. With Raúl da Costa performing Piano Concerto No. 27, the Gulbenkian Orchestra will dive into the stimulating last years of Mozart’s creative life.
