Symphony no. 6 "Tragic"

Album by Gustav Mahler & Israel Philharmonic Orchestra & Zubin Mehta

Symphony No. 6 "Tragic" is the sixth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1904. A large-scale late-Romantic orchestral work, it is characterised by intense contrasts, dense orchestration and expansive thematic development, notable for its dramatic structure and the use of percussive "hammer blows", and it represents Mahler's middle-period exploration of darker, more tragic expression within the symphonic form.
First released: 9th April 1996
