About the Music
American soprano Renée Fleming joins Levine and the BSO in Richard Strauss’s beautiful Four Last Songs, written in 1943 as a kind of late-life love letter to the composer’s wife Pauline. Fleming is also soloist in the final movement of Mahler’s warm, gorgeous Symphony No. 4. Mahler and Strauss were congenial colleagues at the center of Austro-German musical life; Alban Berg’s fantastical Three Pieces for Orchestra were heavily influenced by Mahler as well as by Berg’s teacher Schoenberg.
