Symphony no. 6 "Tragic"

Album by Gustav Mahler & Atlanta Symphony Orchestra & Yoel Levi

Symphony No. 6 "Tragic" is the sixth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1904 and first performed in 1906. Scored for a large late‑Romantic orchestra, it is characterised by intense dynamic contrasts, a stark interplay between lyrical and march‑like material, and a concentrated structural tension that represents a darker, more uncompromising turn in Mahler's symphonic writing.
First released: 1998
