Symphony No. 4 in G

Album by Gustav Mahler & Angela Maria Blasi & Symphonieorchester des Bayerischen Rundfunks & Sir Colin Davis

Symphony No. 4 in G major is the fourth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1900 and first performed in 1901. The four-movement work is relatively concise and more transparent than some of Mahler's larger symphonies, combining late-Romantic orchestral colour and folk-like motifs and concluding with a soprano solo that portrays a child's vision of heaven, giving it a distinctive, more intimate character within his oeuvre.
