Symphony No. 4 (No. 101), "The Clock"

Album Notes & Community Reviews

Driven by the famously exacting maestro, this recording sweeps away the cobwebs of romantic indulgence, presenting the classical masterwork with blazing speed, precision, and structural transparency. The legendary tick-tock motif of the slow movement is executed with uncanny rhythmic discipline by the virtuosic American ensemble. It perfectly exemplifies the conductor's objective, fiercely literal approach to the score.
