"Here we have one of the world's greatest orchestras Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks under veteran conductor Herbert Blomstedt performing Mozart's final two symphonies, both undisputed masterpieces, in live concert from the Herkulessaal, Munich ... In Symphony No. 40, Blomstedt's reasonably broad dynamics are convincing and his overall tempi feel well judged ... Symphony No. 41 'Jupiter' ... is boldly determined playing, full of confidence, and the shifts in tempi are well executed ... Under Blomstedt, the Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks plays most impressively but in my view the partnership doesn't quite get to the heart of these two great symphonies".

"Et ædelt og lidt gammeldags Mozart-album. Hvis man foretrækker Mozarts musik spillet smagfuldt af et stort orkester på en konservativ måde, så er denne indspilning anbefalet ... Blomstedt ... spiller i dag musikken hurtigere, slankere, med mindre vibrato og større gennemsigtighed. Men der er stadig en ret stor strygerbesætning, som har det med at dominere blæserne, og det går i mine ører ud over Mozarts retorik ... Mozarts to sidste symfonier, nr. 40 og 41, er det perfekte par ... Og det er den sidstnævnte symfoni, der lykkes klart bedst for Blomstedt".

"Herbert Blomstedt and the Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestraoffer attractive, if unspectular, performances of the two most famous of all 18th-century symphonies ... So generally stylish performances - it's just a pity they lack that extra degree of personality and imagination that could have lifted them onto a higher plane".

"These performances by the warm-toned Bavarian Radio Symphony Orchestra with the octo- and nonagenerian conductor Herbert Blomstedt eschew all notions of plushness for a drive and determination that one might more readily associate with younger, slimmer, more supposedly 'informed' groups ... These two symphonies are recorded so often ... but this is nevertheless a high-class and eminently pleasing addition to their discography".
