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. Using a reduced orchestra, unusually without any lower brass, Mahler's Symphony No. 4 was influenced by the trend to revive the classical style of Haydn and Mozart, as a reaction against the monumental 'Wagnerian' Romanticism of its predecessors. The work is based around the final movement, written some years earlier - its childish and naïve text giving shape to the other movements.
