It was described as “the first nihilist work in the history of music” by the conductor Wilhelm Furtwängler. We look at the story behind Mahler’s Sixth Symphony.

Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic in Mahler’s Sixth Symphony

Alan Yu, 6th May

The sheer scale of Mahler’s Symphony no. 6 in A minor and the questions of interpretation it poses to performers are such that I’m surprised it appears on the concert calendar as often as it does – no less than twice in the last 18 months alone by the New York Philharmonic Orchestra under Alan Gilbert.
