Kansas City Symphony: Mahler's Monumental 4th April 11, 2010

Three beautiful and evocative masterworks fill this concert. Mahler never wrote more lyrical and wonderfully nostalgic music than in the Symphony No. 4, which ends with the simple song of a child dreaming of life in heaven. Ravel paid homage to his great French predecessor Francois Couperin with an exquisite imagining of the Baroque era in his scintillating orchestral suite.
