Albert Camus once wrote 'when I describe what the catastrophe of modern man looks like, music comes into my mind the music of Gustav Mahler'. If asked to specify a particular work, it is quite possible that Camus would have proposed Symphony No. 6 in A minor the symphony that Bruno Walter claimed portrayed 'a terrifying, hopeless darkness, without a human sound'. Nevertheless, the period during which Mahler wrote his Sixth was one of the most successful and happiest of his life prior to any marital difficulties, at the time of the birth of his second daughter Anna, his professional reputation growing. Alma Mahler, in her memoirs, suggested that the symphony was in fact predicting instances of future distress in the composer s own life, and she and various commentators have proposed various interpretations of different elements. Most famous of these are possibly the hammer strokes in the Finale, falling, according to Alma, like 'blows of fate' on the 'hero' of the symphony. But Osmo Vänskä has a reputation for engaging with even the most iconic scores at face value, avoiding preconceived ideas and 'time-honored' traditions. His and the Minnesota Orchestra's recording of Mahler's Sixth follows upon the 2017 release of the composer's Fifth Symphony. Nominated to a 2018 Grammy Award, that interpretation has been described as at once committed and detached, intense and transcendentally timeless (Norman Lebrecht) and an exceptional performance that promises great things to come (AMG).

 | The recording quality is the usual superb BIS quality. The Minnesota Orchestra is excellent, However some might find the conductor Osmo Vänskä a little dull. Certainly when compared to some of the "old school" like Kubelik, Bernstein & Tennstedt. The 6th IMO is one of the best of the series. |

 | I am unfamiliar with this orchestra and conductor, and I've got a lot of recordings of the Mahler already. Is there anything about this, and the others in the series that you've posted, of special note that makes them worth listening to? Thanks. |

 | Vänskä had a long career coaching the Minnesota orchestra to Grammy status. This is a great series down to the cover art. I can hardly wait for Nomdeguerre to finish the job. Thanks for the previous ones and the next ones! Ps. Then there would be the Vänskä/Minnesota Sibelius collection BIS 2020 ;-) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Osmo_V%C3%A4nsk%C3%A4 |
