Conductor, Sir Adrian Boult The Jupiter
One of the most amazing feats of Mozart's career was the production within six weeks of three great symphonies, each a masterpiece.
Symphony No. 41 in C was the last of the three, and by common consent the greatest of all his symphonies. No one knows who gave it the title 'The Jupiter', but the whole world of music has long accepted it as in every way fitting for so great and spirited a work.
The Spider's Banquet
Albert Roussel (1869-1937) was one of the most personal of modem French composers. His works include symphonies, operas, ballets, and chamber music.
The ballet The Spider's Banquet, based on Henri Fabre's ' Souvenirs entomologiques was written in 1912 with a scenario by Gilbert de Voisins.
