 Symphony No. 6 (Mahler) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Symphony No. 6 in A minor by Gustav Mahler, known as the Tragic, was composed between 1903 and 1905.
The first movement also features a soaring melody which the composer's wife, Alma Mahler, claimed was representative of her; this melody is now often known as the "Alma theme".
However, at the premiere in 1906, Mahler performed the andante second, followed by the scherzo.

 Symphony No. 4 (Mahler) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After what is for Mahler an unusually restrained first movement, often said to have almost classical poise, the second movement is a scherzo featuring a solo part for a violin tuned a tone higher than usual (see: scordatura).
The Symphony No. 4 in G major by Gustav Mahler was written between 1899 and 1901.
The symphony is for a fairly small orchestra by Mahler's standards, lacking trombones.

Mahler - Symphony No. 6 in A Minor
The symphony incorporates "portraits" of Alma in the first movement and of children playing in a diabolical Scherzo--a musical prediction, some say, of the tragedy that was to strike the Mahler family within three years.

 Mahlerfest - Symphony No.6 Overview
Mahler signals this to me by a subtle modification of the strikingly powerful tympani cadences, indicarting in this music that this is not the end, but a new beginning.
Maria was buried in Maiernigg and the Mahlers immediately sold the villa, never to return to the inspiration of some of Mahler's greatest works - the Fifth, Sixth, Seventh and the Eighth symphonies, song cycle Kindertotenleider, the song set Rückert Lieder, and the two last songs for the song set Das Knaben Wunderhorn.
I prefer the former, as Mahler's story of his lifelong struggle devoted to the perfection of musical expression, in performance as well as in composing.

 SACD Review: Philharmonia Orchestra (Zander) - ‘Mahler: Symphony No. 6 in A Minor, “Tragic”’
Mahler’s 6th was not recorded until the 1950’s, and there have been dozens of recordings since, by some of the greatest names in classical music.
In sum, this recording is quite simply the finest Mahler 6th, not only in terms of performance and recording, but also in terms of value: The symphony is spread over two discs (including the two finales) and there is also the aforementioned bonus disc.
But the visionary and intensely emotional qualities of Mahler’s works inspired the gradual but irresistible growth of a fanatically dedicated audience, to the point where now many of Mahler’s works are cornerstones of the repertory, both in concert and on disc.

 classical music - andante - gustav mahler
In the Sixth Symphony, by contrast, the grim determination and aggression of the opening movement are merely emphasised in the final Allegro moderato which, in spite of everything, ends on a note of defeat, the bitterness of which is altogether unalloyed.
Unlike the songs of triumph and faith that play an essential role in Bruckner's symphonies, this is a 'negative' chorale and, as such, one of the symphony's most striking innovations.
As was so often the case, Mahler felt while writing the Sixth Symphony that he was the instrument of a power greater than himself.

 Music Preview: Major, minor and Mahler
Mahler also was attuned to the notion of music representing a struggle with life's adversity.
Classical music can be as narrative as a novel, with convincing stories to tell.Take Beethoven's Fifth Symphony, for instance.
You still can enjoy the symphony for its sonic journey, or you can arrive at Heinz Hall early, re-acquaint yourself with the program notes (always excellently written by Kenneth Meltzer).

 Mahler, Symphony No.6 in A minor, Royal Concertgebouw Orchestra, Bernard Haitink, RFH, 9th December 2001 (MB)
Earlier in the day I had listened to Sinopoli’s Philharmonia recording of this symphony – a fabulous performance deconstructed in quite extraordinary fashion.
And although the Amsterdammers had arrived in London at 10.30 on Sunday morning for this afternoon performance their sense of empathy with this most tragic of Mahler’s symphonies was absolute.
This was an unforgettable concert, in every way as satisfying as this orchestra’s superb Mahler Tenth under their current music director, Riccardo Chailly.

He is represented in the Sixth Symphony discography by a "live" recording with the Stockholm Philharmonic from 1966.
In the Summer of 1904 the Sixth Symphony was emerging from Mahler's composing hut.
Another recording on one disc, this time at full price, is by the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra conducted by Yoel Levi on Telarc (CD-80444) recorded in the studio.

 Beethoven Symphony No.6 on Record
This symphony is exactly suited to the glowing mellowness of Walter's last recordings and is a sheer delight from beginning to end.
Quite my favourite version of this symphony is the 1952 VPO/Furtwängler recording, but its slow tempi, particularly in the first two movements, are not to all tastes.
There are also several live recordings around by Furtwängler, but none of them, with the possible exception of the May 1954 BPO performance (his last of the symphony) surpass this studio effort.

Later, in 1910, Klemperer assisted Mahler in the premiere of his Symphony No. 8 (Symphony of a Thousand).
In 1905 he met Mahler while conducting the off-stage brass at a performance of Mahler's Symphony No. 2 (Resurrection).
Following the end of World War II, Klemperer returned to Europe to take up the baton at the Budapest Opera (1947-50).

 MAHLER Symphony 6
Symphony No. 7 followed in 1993 - still one of the best you'll ever hear, although the orchestra's improvement since has been a near-miracle.
The Sixth, recorded live at the Festpielhaus in Baden-Baden in September 1999, is by turns ecstatic and terrifying.
Their Third, recorded in 1997 (Review) by which time Baden-Baden was sharing the orchestra with Freiburg and recording live for H”nssler, is the benchmark performance for me of that work on discs.

Leonard Bernstein was Walter's assistant and a great proponent of Mahler's music, recording all of the symphonies in the 1960s.
The Sixth Symphony was called "the only Sixth symphony despite Beethoven's 'Pastorale'" by composer Alban Berg.
There is a special relationship between the music of Mahler and the New York Philharmonic.

Having heard no less than 15 different recordings of the Sixth myself (I collect recordings of the Sixth as an hobby), I have no doubt this is the closest to the "Perfect Sixth" CD, if ever one is allowed to coin such a terminology.
In summary, if you want a recording of "Mahler's" Sixth, rather than "Bernstein's" Sixth or "Zander's" Sixth or "Mehta's" Sixth, this is the recording to have.

 :: INKPOT : Mahler Symphony No. 6 - Atlanta SO, Levi, Telarc
The Sixth Symphony is an architectonic work, not a scenic one like the first five Mahler symphonies; spontaneity, rhetoric drive, and poetic imagination are consequently just what a good performance of it needs.
This approach worked wonders in his recording with the same orchestra of Mahler’s Fourth Symphony, but here it comes off as clinical and trite.
Under its Romanian music director Yoel Levi the Atlanta Symphony has reached unprecedented heights of technical brilliance and must now be ranked amongst the top US orchestras.

Having a handful of versions of each Mahler symphony, I wanted to acquire an additional modern recording of the 6th to expand my selection.
Although there are more expanded views of this symphony, this recording is very rewarding on all fronts.
Each conductor takes a leaner, more classical approach to this frequently sprawling symphony (e.g., no stretching out the Andante to 17-and-a-half minutes) and each gets powerful and committed playing from his orchestra (in fact, the London Symphony is far more experienced in this composer's music than the St. Petersburg Philharmonic of the Sanderling CD).

 CSIndy: Earth Shattering (April 18, 2002)
Over the next few years, Tilson Thomas and the SFS will release recordings of the remaining Mahler symphonies.
Although it's a shame that their recent mesmerizing performance of Mahler's great "Das Lied von der Erde" was not similarly recorded, music lovers -- hell, even rock lovers who want to be blown away -- have much to look forward to.
Over 95 years later, on September 11, 2001, the day before Michael Tilson Thomas and the San Francisco Symphony were set to perform and record Mahler's Symphony No. 6 (SFS Media), much of America was in a similar state, experiencing the hideous consequences of terrorism.
