6 Lieder, op.68

Symphony No. 6 in A Minor, ("Tragic")

Approved

In de gelukkigste tijd van zijn leven componeerde Mahler zijn duistere Zesde, een symfonische krachttoer zonder weerga. De luisteraar wordt meegenomen op een gedroomde bergwandeling langs bloeiende weiden (koebellen in het orkest!), grootse vergezichten en peilloze afgronden. Die tocht mondt uit in een huiveringwekkende finale – volgens Vestdijk ‘het aangrijpendste, indrukwekkendste slotdeel ooit geschreven.’

Lahav Shani combines Mahler's powerful Sixth Symphony with songs by his contemporary Strauss. Soloist: the soprano Chen Reiss. "One of the most perfect Strauss voices you could wish for," said one reviewer.

Friends Mahler and Strauss
Gustav Mahler and Richard Strauss were contemporaries and the most famous conductors of their generation. It will surprise many, but they were also good friends. Mahler made an effort to stage Strauss's operas; Strauss in turn conducted his colleague's early symphonies. Both spent the concert season conducting and the summer months composing. Mahler retired to his Komponierhäuschen in the Austrian Alps, Strauss stayed at home in the villa he built with the revenues of his operaSalome had it built in the Bavarian Alps.

The singer-composer and symphonist
Mahler and Strauss both served as music director of the Vienna Court Opera for several seasons. The first left there with a quarrel, the other was left with a beautiful villa in Vienna. Mahler married the composer Alma, twenty years his junior, at the age of 42. Strauss married the famous soprano Pauline de Ahna, daughter of a general. They were tough marriages. But where Strauss achieved tremendous success with his operas and songs, Mahler wrote nine symphonies – works of which he knew: 'meine Zeit wird kommen'.
