Symphony no. 6 "Tragic"

Album by Gustav Mahler & Paavo Järvi & NHK Symphony Orchestra

Symphony No. 6 is the sixth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1904 and first performed in 1906. A late-Romantic, large-scale orchestral work characterised by stark contrasts, complex rhythmic structures and recurring hammer-blow motifs, it occupies a central, dark-hued chapter in Mahler's symphonic output that emphasises themes of fate and tragedy.
