Symphony No. 4 in G / Symphony No. 7 in E minor "Song of the Night"

Album by Gustav Mahler & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & James Levine

Symphony No. 4 in G major and Symphony No. 7 in E minor ('Song of the Night') are symphonies by Gustav Mahler, composed in 1899-1901 and 1904-1905 respectively. The Fourth features a relatively transparent late-Romantic texture culminating in a soprano-led finale with folk-like elements, whereas the Seventh explores nocturnal, often dissonant atmospheres through expanded orchestration and formal experimentation, marking Mahler's movement from late-Romantic lyricism toward more adventurous, atmospheric symphonic writing in the early twentieth century.

First released: 22nd September 2001
