DISCS: CLASSICAL HHHHH Mahler arr Stein Symphony No. 4 CAMERATA/

Independent on Sunday, The,  Aug 7, 2005  by Anna Picard

Alexander Platt's 1990 reconstruction of Erwin Stein's 1921 chamber orchestra reduction of Mahler's Fourth transports the listener to a fantastical Viennese caf. Mahler's folk melodies assume an urbane, sexually ambivalent persona; throwing the innocent ecstasies of Das himmlische Leben " elegantly sung by Kate Royal " into extraordinary relief, and lending the Ruhevoll the smoky, regretful air of an affair at its close.

Douglas Boyd and the soloists of the Manchester Camerata have created a performance of striking emotional depth and technical perfection. AP
