Mahler Symphony No. 4 In G Major Piano Quartet In A Minor - Gustavoorchestre Gimeno, Du, Philharmonique, Luxembourgpersson, Miah CD
With their combination of modernism and Romantic nostalgia, and alternation of sweeping orchestral gestures with chamber-musical delicacy, Gustav Mahlers orchestral works are as impressive and moving today as they were at the time of their premiere. This certainly applies to Mahlers Fourth Symphony: a work that stands at the crossroads between the largely Romantic early symphonies nos. 13 and the much more Modernist middle-period symphonies nos. 57. It is also a fundamentally ambivalent piece: its joyous and accessible surface hides a surprising degree of complexity and even contrariness. While still employing many of the tropes of the traditional nineteenth-century symphony, Mahler at the same time undermines those tropes and distances himself from the symphonic tradition he inherited. The entire symphony works towards the pastoral folksong Das himmlische Leben in the fourth movement, sung here by the outstanding Swedish soprano Miah Persson. The Piano Quartet is Mahlers only surviving chamber music composition, and the movement represented on this album is the only one he completed. Mahler wrote the piece most likely in 1876 or 1877. This is Gustavo Gimenos fourth recording with the Orchestre Philharmonique du Luxembourg (OPL) for Pentatone.Additional Info: Personnel: Alison Burns (vocals); Martin Taylor (guitar); Jack Embrow, Jack Emblow (accordion); Guy Barker (trumpet); David Newton (piano, keyboards); Ewen Vernal (double bass); James Taylor (drums).Specifics
