Symphony no. 4
Album by Gustav Mahler & Kathleen Battle & Wiener Philharmoniker & Lorin Maazel
Symphony No. 4 is the fourth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, premiered in 1901. Scored for a relatively lighter orchestra than his preceding symphonies and concluding with a soprano solo, it blends late-Romantic orchestration with folk-like melodies and a pastoral clarity that contrasts with Mahler's earlier monumental works, marking a move toward more transparent textures and concision in his middle-period output.
