After the CD of No.1 by Kosler, Naxos restart its Mahler cycle with a better acoustics effect. PNRSO is not a really warhorse orchestra for Mahler, but Wit did a great job in holding the orchestra in better shape. The No.4 here is the best one in Naxos' Mahler cycle, and also a very good choice for the first No.4. with great sound, perfect intepretation, and nice sorpano. Wit's No.2 and No.5 are also good Mahler. No.3 is not bad in performance, and with good sound. PNRSO in No.6 is a disappointment, they just cannot offer a solid support to the conductor.

Here is one of the many examples where it pays to go the opposite direction of Amazon's designated obnoxious "expert reviewer", critic David Hurwitz.

Wit and the PNRSO present a clean, well-played, interesting Mahler Fourth full of freshness and thoughtful detail. It is a solid, enjoyable version that, contrary to Hurwitz' opinion, good enough to be counted.

It may not be the most revelatory or historically significant relative to the very greatest Mahler Fourths (for example, Horenstein, Szell, Mengelberg, Kletzki, Barbirolli, Klemperer), but it is finer than many others. You might, in fact, "do better" with Wit than some of Hurwitz' breathless picks, such as the exaggerated and sappy Bernstein, the well-executed but nervous and ugly Fritz Reiner/Chicago, the boring Maazel, the thin,underpowered Abravnel, and the well-played surface-scratchers like Levi, Salonen and Boulez.
