Mahler: Symphony No. 4

Stephen Johnson explores darker undercurrents in Mahler's Symphony No. 4, as well as the composer's other life as one of the greatest opera conductors of his day.

Stephen Johnson explores darker undercurrents in the work, as well as shadows of the composer's other life as one of the greatest opera conductors of his day.
