Your free classical podcast this month is Mozart's Linz Symphony played by Amalia & Friends.

The Symphony No. 36 in C major, K. 425, (known as the Linz Symphony) was written by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart during a stopover in the Austrain town of Linz on his and his wife's way back home to Vienna from Salzburg in late 1783 while Symphony No. 38 in D major, K. 504, was also composed by Mozart in late 1786 which was premiered in Prague on January 19, 1787, during Mozart's first visit to the city. Because it was first performed in Prague, it is popularly known as the Prague Symphony.

Mozart wrote his "Linz" Symphony in just four days, but it was his biggest and grandest to that point, and it helped set the stage for the great symphonies of the 19th century.
