After a period-instrument reading of the Symphony no.1 that received unanimous acclaim from the critics, François-Xavier Roth and Les Siècles return to Mahler.

Joined by the luminous voice of Sabine Devieilhe for the famous finale, they offer us their vision of the Fourth Symphony, which in its own way marks the composer's transition to modernity, and reveal unsuspected colours and instrumental balances.

We still have much to learn about the polyphonic transparency possible within Mahler's big orchestra

"I absolutely adored this performance...What registers immediately in Roth's reading - and the deliciously honest playing of his band Les Siècles - is an open-faced, playful nature.." Gramophone Recording of the Month Sept 2022
