Gustav Mahler Symphony No. 6
"The Sixth is his most personal work and a prophetic one at that," said Gustav Mahler's wife Alma. With its tragic tonal language, the symphony seems to anticipate strokes of fate: the composer's heart condition, the death of his daughter, professional failures. The Andante provides a point of calm - folk motifs and herd bells conjure up an enchanting idyll. The interpreter of this performance is Gustavo Dudamel, one of the world's most popular conductors, who has already performed several Mahler symphonies with the Berliner Philharmoniker.
