Symphony No. 6

Album by Gustav Mahler & Kungliga Filharmonikerna & Jascha Horenstein & Alan Blyth

Symphony No. 6 is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, composed in 1903-1904 and first performed in 1906. The work is a late-Romantic, large-scale orchestral composition characterised by stark dynamic contrasts, complex rhythmic structures and a sombre, sometimes tumultuous emotional trajectory, and it occupies a central place in Mahler's middle-period output as an exploration of fate and tragic expression.
