London Philharmonic Orchestra
Work:: London Philharmonic Orchestra (S0621569586)
Production:: (T01322351579)
The London Philharmonic Orchestra brings its year-long survey of Mahler's music to a close with a concert that also features symphonies by two other masters - Haydn and Brahms. Brahms's Fourth Symphony itself seems like a journey embarked upon and completed. The music embraces you like lake water - building naturally before dying away. Its last drops bring the London Philharmonic Orchestra's 2010/11 season to a close as they did their composer's symphonic career. We have a goodbye from Mahler, too. In the songs of Des knaben Wunderhorn (The Youth's Magic Horn) the composer sketches so many of the moods and motifs that find their way into his Second and Third Symphonies. There are flowing ländlers, trance-like nocturnes and prophetic marches. But there's immense textural skill from the young Mahler, too, who gifts his musical lines the clarity of an engraving.
