Mahler 4

Album by Gustav Mahler & Christoph von Dohnányi & Dawn Upshaw & The Cleveland Orchestra

Symphony No. 4 is the fourth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1900. Musically it features late-Romantic orchestration, lyrical melodies and relatively transparent textures, concluding with a soprano-led finale that juxtaposes a childlike vocal character with orchestral irony and marking a transitional position in Mahler's output between his earlier expansive symphonies and his later, more austere works.
First released: 1994
