 Symphony No. 4 (Mahler) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After what is for Mahler an unusually restrained first movement, often said to have almost classical poise, the second movement is a scherzo featuring a solo part for a violin tuned a tone higher than usual (see: scordatura).
The Symphony No. 4 in G major by Gustav Mahler was written between 1899 and 1901.
The symphony is for a fairly small orchestra by Mahler's standards, lacking trombones.

 Symphony No. 3 (Mahler) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Symphony No. 3 in D minor by Gustav Mahler was written between 1893 and 1896.
As in his Symphony No. 2, Mahler adds vocal forces to the later movements of the piece.
The fourth is a setting of Friedrich Nietzsche's "Midnight Song" from Also sprach Zarathustra, while the fifth, "Es sungen drei Engel", is one of Mahler's Des Knaben Wunderhorn songs.

I discovered the Mahler Fourth back in the late sixties from the first Leonard Bernstein recording featuring an unmannered and appropriately simple solo performance by soprano Reri Grist who, in my opinion had just the right childlike sound.

 classical music - andante - gustav mahler
Whereas, in the case of his earlier symphonies, Mahler had provided his listeners with explanatory introductions or at least given titles to their individual movements, he decided on this occasion that the music of the Fourth Symphony can and must be self-sufficient.
Consequently, listeners were not provided with a text of any kind for the Fourth Symphony, with the single exception of the poem set to music in the final movement.
In writing the Fourth Symphony, Mahler hoped to offer his contemporaries a work that would be both shorter and more accessible than his previous symphonies.

 Belle Epoque - Mahler: Symphony No. 4
Mahler's Symphonies Symphony No. 1 Symphony No. 2 Symphony No. 3 Symphony No. 4 Symphony No. 5 Symphony No. 6 Symphony No. 7
The scherzo lets us think of the third movement of the Second Symphony, but it is way less mocking and ironic, rather grotesque and burlesque, marked especially by the shrill solo violin but once in a while broken by the mysterious dark beauty of the clarinet solos.
After the beautiful First Symphony and the two enormous works of the Second and Third Symphony where the exhaustive climax is formed by the sixth movement of the Third, I get the impression that Mahler himself has reached a sort of final point.

 A survey of recordings of Mahler Symphony No. 4
Mahler in turn had a very high opinion of Mengelberg's conducting of his music so any recording by the Dutchman must carry a degree of authenticity but with the caveats that need to be applied to that word in this context.
It was the admirable John Boyden, a director of the semi-independent EMI company Music for Pleasure Ltd. who had the idea of recording the most popular Mahler Symphony (at the time) with one of the greatest exponents of Mahler's music, for the label he had recently founded "Classics for Pleasure".
Mengelberg sat in the audience in Amsterdam in 1904 to hear Mahler conduct the symphony with the Concertgebouw Orchestra twice in the same concert.

 Program Notes
Mahler had to plan parts of the Fourth Symphony from the end back, so that the song would appear to be the outcome and conclusion of what was in fact composed eight years after the song.
Mahler began to write Wunderhorn songs immediately after completing the First Symphony in 1888 (he had already borrowed a Wunderhorn poem as the foundation of the first of his Songs of a Wayfarer of 1884-85).
The poem Mahler used for the text of the Fourth Symphony’s finale is a Bavarian folk song called “Der Himmel hängt voll Geigen” (“Heaven is Hung With Violins&;).

 INKPOT#93 CLASSICAL MUSIC REVIEWS: MAHLER Symphony No.4. Lieder eines Fahrenden Gesellen, et al. Various/Britten (BBC ...
Mahler's music withers and dies when played coldly - it can of course, but I would rather listen to something else than to listen to such a performance.
No caveats need to be made for the performances of the two Wunderhorn Lieder which complete the disc - Elly Ameling is in splendid voice and her qualitites as a Lieder-singer are perhaps unsurpassed.
This CD has been one of the most rewarding I have encountered recently, and here Britten proves what a great Mahler conductor he would have been had he only tried (and been recorded), so the intrepid collector may buy this in the confidence that he will be getting a great Mahler performance.

 SoundStage! Mahler Symphony No. 4
Mahler’s Fourth Symphony is a great starting place for listeners scared off by his more aggressive, or what some might even consider schizophrenic, compositions.
Mahler wrote the final movement of this symphony a full eight years before the rest.
A real bonus is the addition of a second disc in which Zander discusses the Fourth in detail.

 MAHLER Symphony No.4 Leopold Ludwig [TD]: Classical CD Reviews- May 2001 MusicWeb(UK)
That Mahler's Fourth could be played more idiomatically, more searchingly, at this time is proved by a wonderful contemporary recording from Kletzki on Royal Classics (ROY 6468) and also from a recording by Van Beinum that predates it by a few years.
Mahler does appear to have written something that implies sunshine and that is certainly what you get from Ludwig.
Leopold Ludwig will be fondly remembered by Mahlerites of a certain age for a recording of the Ninth Symphony with the London Symphony Orchestra that achieved wide circulation in the 1960s, first through Everest and then through the much-missed World Record Club.

 SACD Review: San Francisco Symphony (Tilson Thomas) - ‘Mahler: Symphony No.4’
This proves that Mahler was thinking not just abstractly about the music, but spatially in terms of audience perspective of the orchestral sound, and this recording captures that aspect of Mahler’s genius most impressively.
MTT (as he’s called for short) takes a lingering Sunday drive through the symphony, bringing it in at a total time of over 62 minutes, which is one of the longest timings I’ve ever heard for this piece.
Yet in other places, MTT is a bit prone to exaggeration, such as in the three notes in the violins leading from the opening sleigh bells into the first theme of the movement.

This is a fine performance of the Fourth Symphony, beautifully recorded by the EMI engineers in the sympathetic acoustics of Birmingham's Symphony Hall.
Rattle seems to view this symphony, with its growing interest in unconventional harmony and counterpoint, as the first of the middle-period symphonies as much as the last of the Wunderhorn symphonies.

The four Wayfarer Songs that accompany the symphony are transcribed by Schönberg himself, with mezzo Susan Platts obviously enjoying the intimacy of the arrangements.
Think about how often Mahler himself resorts to chamber music textures in his symphonies: the sounds seem utterly natural most of the time.

 Notes on Mahler's Symphony No. 4
Martha is the cook; St. Luke slaughters oxen and St. Ursula and her fellow martyrs make music to which no earthly music can compare.
This was to be the seventh and final movement of his cosmological Third Symphony (What childhood tells me) but was withdrawn.
Of this third movement Mahler maintained that the listener would both laugh and cry.

This symphony, although received with incomprehension and downright hostility at its first performance, is now seen as one of Mahler's two "light" symphonies, and consequently there are already many fine recordings available.
A brief survey of my CD and LP shelves at home reveals a couple dozen recordings of Mahler's Symphony No.4 -- and that's ignoring the more recent arrivals still waiting to be filed.
For those who insist on modern digital sound, Salonen's LA recording (also Sony) is first-class as, surprisingly, is Sir Colin Davis's on BMG (Davis is no Mahlerian under normal circumstances).

Either that or I've changed a lot since first hearing this 1958 recording in the early seventies.
Today, I still admire Reiner's masterful control of the symphony and his precise execution of details, but nowhere do I sense that he has any real involvement in or understanding of the work.
Reiner was never a strong Mahlerian, but I had always recalled his Mahler Fourth as a joyous, heartfelt affair.
