Riccardo Chailly, Gewandhausorchester: Mahler - Symphony No. 4 in G Major

Gewandhaus Leipzig, 2013 "The greatest mix of colours that ever existed" was Gustav Mahler's description of the third movement of his Fourth Symphony. Riccardo Chailly, one of the most adept interpreters of Mahler of our time, and the Gewandhausorchester transformed the entire Fourth Symphony into this 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". Once more, the connection between Chailly, the Gewandhausorchester and Mahler proved to be exceptional: The way Chailly "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."
