Gustav Mahler (1860-1911) Symphony No. 4 in G major Composed at the dawn of the 20th century, the Quatrième Symphonie de Mahler is distinguished by its transparency and its luminous character. More concise than the composer's vast symphonic frescoes, it deploys music of great finesse, where irony, poetry, and wonder mingle subtly. This atmosphere finds its culmination in the fourth movement, where the voice evokes with naivety and sweetness a vision of celestial life.
