Symphony no. 4

Album by Gustav Mahler & Israel Philharmonic Orchestra & Zubin Mehta & Barbara Hendricks

Symphony No. 4 is the fourth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1901. Featuring comparatively lighter orchestration and clear thematic material within Mahler's late-Romantic idiom, the work moves through varied moods and culminates in a soprano-led finale that presents a simple, folk-like poem, placing it between his expansive middle symphonies and later, more introspective pieces in his career.
First released: 1988
