Mahler: Symphony No. 4 (Vinyl) – Claudio Abbado

Claudio Abbado’s recording of Mahler’s Fourth Symphony with the Wiener Philharmoniker, made in 1977 at the Vienna Musikverein, captivates listeners with its warm, transparent sound and great attention to detail. The orchestra’s characteristic sound and Frederica von Stade’s sensitive solo voice in the final movement lend the work a special lightness. Abbado’s sometimes unusual tempos open up new expressive spaces and give the interpretation a special depth that makes this recording unique and highly regarded.

For the first time, this recording has been remastered and cut from the original 1-inch 8-track tapes
