Star Russian soprano Sofia Fomina joins the London Philharmonic Orchestra in this live performance of Mahler's vision of Heaven, his Fourth Symphony, under the baton of Principal Conductor Vladimir Jurowski.
"A Mahler Fourth as insightful and as individual as we have come to expect from this source. Vladimir Jurowski brings real attention to detail...Texturally, harmonically and in terms of characterisation (never over-egged), he achieves a wondrous clarity and transparency... Excellent playing throughout from the LPO." Gramophone Editor's Choice Sept 2019
"There's no pretending that the LPO violins initially have the sheen of the Vienna Philharmonic…but as details accumulate in the thorny path through the forest at the first movement's heart, there are wonders…Fomina guides us gently through the finale's heavenly delights and terrors…You'll learn a lot from Jurowski's characteristically thoughtful investigation." BBC Music
"In the finale, Sofia Fomina provides one of the best accounts of the child's vision of paradise in many a year-pure, sweet, aptly innocent but never coy or excessively cute. I also like the way the microphones pick up Mahler's imaginative writing for the harp without obvious spotlighting. In sum, there's so much to enjoy here, and even in a very crowded field this performance is definitely a keeper." ClassicsToday
