However, four years later, he rewrote the third movement as the “Hunting Scherzo” and replaced the finale with the “Village Festival.” Furthermore, the version with the revised finale from 1880 forms the basis for the version most commonly performed today.\nWhile recordings of the 1874 first draft have become more common in recent years, it gives a very different impression from the final version. Both the harmony and the rhythm are bolder and more complex than in his later, more stylized works; the piece as a whole has a rugged quality that even brings Beethoven to mind. Schaller emphasizes these qualities to highlight the work’s avant-garde nature, making it a truly rewarding listen. In fact, Schaller himself has stated that, among the various versions of Symphony No. 4, this is his personal favorite.\nGert Schaller was born in Bamberg in 1965. He began his career as a conductor at the Hanover State Opera in 1993, served as Music Director at the Braunschweig State Opera in 1998, and was General Music Director at the Magdeburg Theater from 2003 to 2006.\nKing International\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTracklisting:\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e1.Symphonie Nr. 4 Es-Dur \"Romantische\" \/ Symphony No. 4 in E-flat major \"Romantic\"~I.
