about

The summit of Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart’s symphonic writing is most definitely his Symphony No. 41. His last three symphonies show a shift on his compositional style, changing from a facility of writing, almost indifferent, that he had shown since childhood, to a writing style of deeply caring for his works as a legacy. The 41st symphony is complex in its orchestration, structure, and its counterpoint, delivering a double fugue at the very end of the fourth movement. The nickname “Jupiter” was given after the first performance, and while we don’t know for sure which of the few stories about the nickname is true, we do know that the name it does not recall the planet: Johann Baptist Crames, a British music publisher, inspired by the classical education of the times, upon hearing the opening chords, thought of the thunderbolts of the ancient Greek god Phaëton, which the ancient Romans called Jupiter. Another story is one of an impresario, Johann Peter Salomon, who chose the lofty name for advertising purposes, perhaps with the use of C major being back then associated with court pomp. The nickname did not come into use until 1817, (29 years after the completion of the symphony) but it has stuck ever since. Whichever the story, the symphony’s majestic presence is most definitely the brightest star of Mozart’s symphonies, and its magnificence does compare with the largest planet of the solar system.

If Not Now, Who?

Everything about this wonderful recording works beautifully! The writing is fun and adventurous without being pretentious or contrived, the musicianship is awe-inspiring ... every single note is played with gravity, intention and purpose and the whole thing is a joy-filled experience for both the ears and soul. In the time since Joe released "Borderland" I'd convinced myself that I couldn't possibly love his music more. Along comes "If Not Now, Who?", and I stand corrected. Wayne Fugate
