Startling topicality
Alongside the First, it is the symphony by Mahler that most closely realizes the classical formal model, and yet it is also one of his most modern creations: Although it was composed in 1903/04 during the happiest phase of his life, the Sixth, which was given the nickname »Tragic« early on, is undoubtedly Mahler's most pessimistic work. The piece is probably one of the darkest in all of music, and is therefore of alarming topicality in view of the much-cited multiple crises of our time. The Vienna Symphony Orchestra, who not only conducted the first Austrian performance of the work by Mahler himself in 1907, but also made his earliest recording in 1953, under the direction of Vladimir Jurowski, chief conductor of the Berlin Radio Symphony Orchestra and general music director of the Bavarian State Opera, is now demonstrating its sensitivity.
