Symphony no. 6 "Tragic"

Album by Gustav Mahler & Het Gelders Orkest & Martin Sieghart

Symphony No. 6 'Tragic' is the sixth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1904. A late-Romantic, large-scale orchestral work, it is characterised by stark dramatic contrasts, dense and colouristic orchestration and an unusually forceful role for percussion and brass, representing a darker and more concentrated statement within Mahler's late symphonic output.
First released: 23rd February 2007
