Symphony no. 4 in G major

Album by Gustav Mahler & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & James Levine & Judith Blegen

Symphony No. 4 in G major is the fourth symphony by Gustav Mahler, completed in 1901. The work features relatively transparent orchestration, classical proportions and a final movement for soprano that sets a child's vision of heaven, juxtaposing pastoral and folk-inflected material with darker, ironic undertones and signalling a move toward more concise, song-like structures in Mahler's middle-period output.
First released: 1975
