Symphony no. 4

Album by Gustav Mahler & Barbara Hendricks & Los Angeles Philharmonic & Esa‐Pekka Salonen

Symphony No. 4 is the fourth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1901. A late-Romantic symphony notable for its lighter, more transparent orchestration, chamber-like textures and an ultimately vocal finale presenting a child's perspective, it occupies a transitional place in Mahler's output between his earlier large-scale symphonies and his later, more introspective works.
First released: 1st October 1992
