Symphonie No. 6 / Kindertotenlieder
Album by Gustav Mahler & Thomas Hampson & Wiener Philharmoniker & Leonard Bernstein
Symphonie No. 6 and Kindertotenlieder are respectively a symphony and a song cycle by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, both completed in 1904. They exemplify Mahler's late-Romantic orchestral language, combining large-scale symphonic structure, dense and varied orchestration and vocal settings that confront themes of death and loss, and they mark an important point in his career where orchestral and vocal idioms are closely interwoven.
