Gustav Mahlers 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 release, Marc Albrecht, its chief conductor, leads the Netherlands Philharmonic in performance of this work. The soprano Elizabeth Watts, whose voice was described by Intl Record Review as one of the most beautiful Britain has produced in a generation, is the touching last movements featured soloist.

In what appears to be an auspicious beginning of a Mahler symphony cycle, Marc Albrecht and the Netherlands Philharmonic Orchestra offer the Symphony No. 4 in a deluxe audiophile presentation that's sure to build anticipation for a full set. This is an engaging performance with charming singing by soprano Elizabeth Watts in the joyous vocal finale, "Wir genießen die himmlischen Freuden," and the orchestra's playing is imbued with the playfulness and childlike fantasy that have made this one of Mahler's most popular works. The multichannel recording captures the delightful magical quality of the orchestration, from the scintillating sleigh bells of the opening measures to the soothing harp ostinato that closes the symphony, and every detail is wonderfully clear and contributes to the work's vibrant and colorful atmosphere. Highly recommended.
