Symphony No. 4

Album by Gustav Mahler & Boston Symphony Orchestra & Kiri Te Kanawa & Seiji Ozawa

Symphony No. 4 is the fourth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1900. Scored for a comparatively lighter orchestra and culminating in a final movement for soprano that sets a child's vision of heaven, it combines late-Romantic orchestral colour and lyricism with a more concise, intimate approach that contrasts with Mahler's larger-scale symphonies and represents a distinct phase in his compositional development.
First released: 1987
