Symphony no. 4 in G major

Album by Gustav Mahler & Royal Liverpool Philharmonic Orchestra & Gerard Schwarz & Maureen McKay

Symphony No. 4 in G major is the fourth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1900 and premiered in 1901. Notable for its comparatively modest orchestration and transparent textures, it blends late-Romantic orchestral writing with folk-influenced melodies and concludes with a soprano solo in the final movement, placing it at a transitional point between Mahler's earlier, song-infused symphonic works and the more expansive, often darker symphonies that followed.
