Gustav Mahler Symphony No.4 (Ricardo Chailly, Leipzig Gewandhaus Orchestra)

Overview

"The greatest mix of colors that ever existed" was Gustav Mahler's description of the third movement of his Fourth Symphony. Ricardo Chailly and the Gewandhaus Orchestra transformed the entire Fourth Symphony into this kaleiodoscope of sound. The unmistakable timbre of the orchestra has become synonymous withwith late Romantic repertoire and Mahler-esque style - it was described by Der Tagesspiegel as "uncommonly present, even in the thread-fine piannissimo, compact, concentrated, satin:' Recorded live at the Gewandhaus zu Lepzig. 26/27 April 2012
