"The one version that comes closest to capturing the logic of the transcription and the gloriousness of the original symphony. Real understanding, conviction and panache"
(Recording of the Month MusicWeb Feb 2006)
Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 4 is presented without unnecessary ballast in Erwin Stein's salon music version from 1921. It is in this version that the composition first reveals itself as a genuine turn-of-the-century document, with the morbid atmosphere of the times conveying itself more immediately than in the original. Christiane Oelze is the congenial soprano who guarantees all of this in her performance with the Thomas Christian Ensemble.
