Mahler: Symphony No. 4 & Rckert Lieder, Magdalena Koen, Lucerne Festival Orchestra, Claudio Abbado

The charismatic and inspiring Claudio Abbado and the magnificent mezzo-soprano Magdalena Koen, with the Lucerne Festival Orchestra, hold the audience spellbound in this live recording from Lucerne Festival in Summer. Mahler’s five Rckert-Lieder – in a profoundly moving and rapturously received performance – precede Mahler’s sublime and deeply personal Fourth Symphony.
