Movement 2: In gemächlicher Bewegung, ohne Hast.

The dutch conductor Willem Mengelberg leads the Concertgebouw Orchestra on November 9, 1939 in Gustav Mahler's Symphony 4. Mengelberg had a very close relationship with the composer and was involved with this symphony's rehearsal and premiere. His conducting style is extreme and "romantic"; favoring big orchestras, many tempo changes, and a liberal usage of portamento. This style is probably close to that which Mahler himself would have used to conduct the piece.
