MAHLER: Symphony No. 6 - London Symphony Orchestra, Valery Gergiev (HYBRID SACD)

Does Mahler’s Sixth Symphony foretell the tragedy of his later life, or does it have a more cerebral purpose? Whatever the composer’s motives for writing it, tragic it certainly is: driven, bitter and sweet by turns, and ending in devastation – utterly compelling.

'This is a reading of great intensity, creating a most powerful impact ... a stunning performance of considerable musical belief in the demonstrable fact that Mahler's Sixth is a great and original masterpiece.'
