MOZART SYMPHONIES

Mozart's last three symphonies (39,40,41) are considered to have Masonic significance. (See our page on Mozart for more on the Masonic symbolisim in his music)

Mozart Symphonies 35-41 by Herbert von Karajan and the Berlin Philharmonic

Mozart's last three symphonies 39,40,41 are considered to have Masonic significance because of the key in which they were composed.

Mozart Symphonies No. 21 to 41 conducted by Sir Neville Marriner

This 6 CD 1990 release on Philips is one of my favourite collections of Mozart symphonies (recommended by WB Mark Anderson, Temple Lodge, No. 33).
