The sophisticated, transfigured Baroque dances of Ravel's Le tombeau de Couperin offset Shostakovich's boisterous Piano Concerto No. 1, with its cheeky sprinkling of quotations from Classical giants Beethoven and Haydn among others.
These two works of neo-Baroque and neo-Classical influences are followed by Mozart's final symphony, the 'Jupiter', a high point of the 'true' Classical-period canon. Nicknamed posthumously for its majestic first movement and epic finale, the work is a summation of Mozart's entire symphonic output with its unique blend of grandeur and subtlety.
