Symphony no. 4

Album by Gustav Mahler & Sabine Devieilhe & Les Siècles & François‐Xavier Roth

Symphony No. 4 is the fourth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1901. Musically it blends late-Romantic orchestral writing with bright, folk‑inflected melodies and relatively transparent textures, culminating in a final movement for soprano that conveys a childlike, visionary text and signalling a shift in Mahler's symphonic approach between his earlier expansive scores and his later, more condensed works.
