About the Music

Continuing a multi-year survey of the works of Gustav Mahler, James Levine conducts the BSO in the composer's Symphony No. 6, the central work in a kind of trilogy formed by the instrumental symphonies nos. 5, 6, and 7. This intensely emotional symphony, written in 1903-04, is arguably Mahler's most heartfelt symphonic statement.
