Abstract
""The greatest mix of colours that ever existed" was Gustav Mahler's description of the third movement of his Fourth Symphony. Riccardo Chailly and the Gewandhaus Orchestra transformed the entire Fourth Symphony into his kaleidoscope of sound. The unmistakable timbre of the orchestra has become synonymous with late Romantic repertoire and Mahler-esque style -- it was described by Der Tagesspiegel as "uncommonly present, even in the thread-fine pianissimo, compact, concentrated, satin". Chailly was also praised as having "moulded the music, which is so familiar to him, with loving gestures, confidently alluding to a thousand subtle details, allowing the orchestra to rise and fall - that is perfect.""--Back of container.
