Symphony No. 6 in A minor

Gustav Mahler

Enregistrements

Premier Choix

Sir John Barbirolli / New Philharmonia

1967

Gil's top recommendation; 'a classic.' He acknowledges the 'controversial... slow side' tempo of the first movement but finds 'it has a really strong effect... just overwhelming.'

Également Recommandés

Leonard Bernstein / Vienna Philharmonic

1988

A great version with a 'more conventional, more quick first movement... very dramatic, also just overwhelming in its power.'

Edward van Beinum / Concertgebouw

1955 Live recording

'Not that great' recording quality, but 'a really intense performance, really gripping.'
