Mahler: Symphony No.6 / Haitink
Label: CSO RESOUND Catalog: CSOR901807 Format: SACD The Chicago Symphony Orchestra's performance of Mahler's deeply tragic Sixth Symphony, under the direction of CSO Principal Conductor Bernard Haitink, is now available. According to the Chicago Tribune, Haitink's Mahler 6 "felt so right -[with its] accumulation of massive physical power, the feverish buildup of heroic optimism and its crushing defeat with each fatalistic blow [and] the magnificent intensity of the CSO's playing." The Chicago Sun-Times noted, "When have the two trios of the blazing Scherzo movement sounded so gentle, like lullabies? When has the Andante felt so personal?" Price: $29.98 |
