Just another Mahler Four? Far from it…

…..Woodwind obbligatos and string glissandos bring out the symphony’s gypsy soul in this spirited performance under David Curtis, but the CD’s value lies just as much in the chance to hear the lovely Heather Shipp singing Berlioz’s Les Nuits d’Eté, in a chamber version by David Matthews.
