Mahler - Symphony No. 4
Christoph Eschenbach conducts the Orchestre de Paris in a rendition of Gustav Mahler’s Symphony No. 4 in the Salle Pleyel in Paris, in 2009. Soloist is soprano Christine Schäfer. Mahler composed his Fourth Symphony in 1899 and 1900, and it premiered in Munich, in 1901. The work incorporates the song "Das himmlische Leben" ("The Heavenly Life"), which Mahler had already composed in 1892. The song presents a child's vision of heaven and is sung by a soprano in the final fourth movements, though the melodic lines are already recognizable in the first three movements.
