Symphony no. 4

Album by Gustav Mahler & Koninklijk Concertgebouworkest & Mariss Jansons

Symphony No. 4 is the fourth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, premiered in 1901. A late-Romantic orchestral work that combines transparent, chamber-like orchestration with pastoral and scherzo elements, it is characterised by a comparatively concise structure within Mahler's symphonies and concludes with a soprano solo setting a simple, childlike text, signalling a more intimate approach in his middle-period output.
