Composer:
Gustav Mahler

Conductor:
Claudio Abbado

Background: Abbado remains the high priest of Mahler, the man with the key to a unique kind of beauty. It's almost a religion. If you hear it, you're converted. DG is continuing its prestigious series of Mahler symphonies with Claudio Abbado. Mahler's Sixth is the symphony most praised by Mahlerians and a test for the listener's hi-fi!

The quick changes from extremely lyrical to deeply dramatic and violent music are a special feature of this symphony, as well as the unusual instrumentation and effects Mahler employed, including offstage cowbells, very deep bells, and in the last movement devastating 'hammer blows' intended to sound like an axe striking into wood.
