Symphony No.6 "The Tragical"

Album by Gustav Mahler & Simfonični orkester RTV Slovenija & Anton Nanut

Symphony No. 6 "The Tragical" is the sixth symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1904. The work is a large-scale late-Romantic symphony characterised by a vast orchestra, sombre tonal shifts, stark dynamic contrasts and prominent percussion effects, and it occupies a pivotal place in Mahler's output for its darker mood and structural experimentation within his symphonic development.
