Symphony No. 6 in A Minor Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This score is one of my favorite Mahler symphonies.Overall it is incredible to see his layering of orchestration.You will be amazed at how much underscoring there is that sometimes it's hard to notice.Dover's publication is extremely accurate for the most part.There are a few discrepancies between the score and most performances, but I feel that is probably because Mahler constantly revised the orchestration of his symphonies.Overall, highly recommended if you want to see the symphonic master at work at a very affordable price.

Product Description:
The appearance of this work brings Dover's miniature-score library of the nine Mahler symphonies to near completion; only Symphony No. 7 remains to be published. Dating from the composer's prolific period of 1903-4 and following Mahler's marriage to Alma Schindler by just a year, the draft of this remarkable work--subtitled "Tragic"--is represented by 28 current recordings. The symphony incorporates "portraits" of Alma in the first movement and of children playing in a diabolical Scherzo--a musical prediction, some say, of the tragedy that was to strike the Mahler family within three years.
