Erwin Stein's chamber version of Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 4 has enjoyed increased popularity and frequent releases on CD, and small ensembles have willingly taken it up, much as it was embraced by the Society for Private Musical Performances in Vienna, for whom it was arranged. It takes a little adjustment to appreciate the leaner textures and the quirky changes of the original orchestration, but it is reasonably easy to accept it because this was already the lightest of Mahler's symphonies, and Stein took care to approximate timbres wherever possible. Now that this reduced version has found favor with contemporary musicians and audiences, a worthy companion piece for use in concerts and on CDs has appeared in David Matthews' chamber arrangement of Hector Berlioz's Nuits d' t . Both works fit well on a program because of their transparent textures and balmy moods, and the employment of a mezzo-soprano in both makes programming the pair a practical option. These performances feature Heather Shipp as the vocal soloist, who has an agile voice and a light tone that work well with the Orchestra of the Swan, conducted by David Curtis. The ensemble generally plays with polish and warmth, though occasionally the balance is misjudged and the musicians' quirks are more noticeable than they would be if concealed in a large orchestra. Still, this is an interesting match-up of pieces, and listeners can give it a try if they already are familiar with the original works.
