About the work
Mozart’s Symphony No. 40 in G minor is one of his most celebrated works, remarkable for its emotional intensity and formal mastery. Written in the turbulent key of G minor, it departs from the brightness typical of Classical symphonies, expressing restlessness and inner drama.

The ChatGPT refers to the orchestra's production in these terms:
«Orchestre Musique des Lumières under Facundo Agudin stands out for its blend of stylistic precision and imaginative programming. Agudin’s direction unites historical awareness with contemporary vitality, bridging early and modern repertoires. The ensemble’s originality lies in its refined sound, flexible scale, and openness to interdisciplinary and cross-cultural projects, illuminating music with both intellectual clarity and emotional resonance.»

Esteban Buch on Agudin's work with Musique des Lumières:
“The applied erudition and the transgression of institutional routines, which gave the historicist movement its aesthetic and social dynamism, have now become the indispensable foundation upon which contemporary experiments rest. Facundo Agudin is well aware of the demand for authenticity which, since the 1970s—under the banner of historicism and later the label of Historically Informed Performance—has profoundly renewed the sound of pre-classical music, even extending thereafter to the classical-romantic and, in some cases, twentieth-century repertoire. It is this modern approach to musical practice that the orchestra Musique des Lumières and Agudin embody today, when they assert their commitment to transversality.”
Esteban Buch, EHESS Paris
