Publisher: Sony Classical
Competition between versions of this symphony on CD is formidable, with at least three thoroughly recommendable recordings. But it is Maazel who seems to come closest to Mahler's original conception with a combination of charm and poetry that conveys the disarming innocence, lightness, and even naivety of the work. If anything, he errs on the side of understatement!
The recording is refined, open and uncannily transparent, and the Viennese orchestra plays like angels. Similarly angelic is the voice of Kathleen Battle, which proves ideal in the Wunderhorn song which concludes this radiant and joyful symphony with its childlike, fairytale vision of The Heavenly Life. The vision was also Mahler's, and the Fourth was to be his happiest utterance in music.
