About This Item
Gustav Mahler's Symphony No.4 portrays another side of the composer, one hitherto unseen by the general public. No major battles are fought in this symphony; rather it is a childlike vision of life and a better world in the Hereafter. On this new Pentatone , Marc Albrecht, it's chief conductor, leads the Netherlands Philharmonic in performance of this work. The soprano Elizabeth Watts, whose voice was described by Int'l Record Review as Inchone of the most beautiful Britain has produced in a generationInch, is the touching last movement's featured soloist.
