MAHLER Symphony No. 4

Laura Claycomb, London Symphony Orchestra / Valery Gergiev

 

Following recordings of Bartók’s Bluebeard’s Castle and Prokofiev’s Romeo & Juliet, LSO Live returns to Valery Gergiev’s acclaimed Mahler cycle with the release of the Fourth Symphony.

 

“Valery Gergiev’s probing interpretation... this tussle between serenity and apprehension that made the performance so fascinating and the music so disquieting ... the overall impression was of a Mahler Fourth that was freshly conceived and deeply compelling” Daily Telegraph

 

“In the slow movement, Gergiev achieved something transcendent and genuinely mysterious by propelling the music forward without losing sight of its inherent numinosity. The performance was worth it just for that” The Guardian

 

DSD recording, live at the Barbican January 2008 Stereo & multi-channel (5.1)
