There’s no pretending that the LPO violins initially have the sheen of the Vienna Philharmonic…but as details accumulate in the thorny path through the forest at the first movement’s heart, there are wonders…Fomina guides us gently through the finale’s heavenly delights and terrors…You’ll learn a lot from Jurowski’s characteristically thoughtful investigation.

A Mahler Fourth as insightful and as individual as we have come to expect from this source. Vladimir Jurowski brings real attention to detail...Texturally, harmonically and in terms of characterisation (never over-egged), he achieves a wondrous clarity and transparency... Excellent playing throughout from the LPO.
