Mahler’s Symphony No. 6 at Carnegie Hall

Hear The Philadelphia Orchestra in its third and final Mahler symphony performance of the Carnegie Hall season. When the ensemble last performed the Sixth Symphony on our stage in 2016, The New York Times called it a “stunning account ... notable for its sheer beauty.” They are meaningful words regarding the larger-than-life piece most commonly associated with Mahler’s personal tragedies (unforgettably punctuated by the fateful hammer blows in the surging finale)—and an affirmation of the undying love embedded in its searing melodies.
