London Philharmonic Orchestra

Work:: London Philharmonic Orchestra (S0621569586)

Production:: (T0481229266)

The London Philharmonic Orchestra continues its year-long survey of Gustav Mahler's music with a performance of his Sixth Symphony. Gone are the jaunty folk tunes that dominate the first four symphonies. In their place is are thrusting rhythms, a demonic drive and an argumentative edge - all heard through an enlarged, empowered orchestra. The Sixth is compelling and overwhelming - a full-on charge towards a face-off with fate, represented by three infamous hammer blows in the orchestra's percussion. Mahler wrings himself out. The optimism, luxury and gleam of Szymanowski's kaleidoscopic Violin Concerto will feel like a distant memory.

Conductor	Jaap van Zweden
Performer	Leonidas Kavakos (violin)
