“The Sixth is his most personal work,” wrote Gustav Mahler’s wife, Alma, of the passionate work on this program. “No other work came so directly from [his] heart as this one. We both cried … so deeply did we feel this music.” Scored for a large orchestra, Mahler’s Sixth seizes the imagination from its first ominous opening notes, taking the listener on a dream-like journey through the composer’s concept of dark fate, heroic struggle, and ultimately, redemption. 

Yannick’s regard for Mahler is clear; and critical regard for his interpretations of Mahler’s magnificent music is just as clear. A conductor hailed as “the greatest generator of energy on the international podium” (Financial Times), Yannick’s Mahler performances and recordings have been described as “passionate, idiomatic, distinctive, technically adept, and excellently played” (Classics Today). Don’t miss this inspired pairing of conductor and composer in one of the greatest symphonies ever written.
