"The brass are heroic and dauntingly present throughout ... from the tuba that executes a fiendish trill in the finale to the clarion trumpets fanfaring the doom marches."
- BBC Music Magazine
"The pastoral dreamscape is just that, with cowbells suitably distanced before the march returns ... the recording from the Royal Festival Hall doing nearly full justice to the huge climaxes ... this is a Sixth with great emotional sweep ..."
- International Record Review
Sometimes known as The Tragic, a title suggested but then withdrawn by the composer, Mahler’s Sixth Symphony embodies much of the inner turmoil and superstition of its composer. Esa-Pekka Salonen’s work conducting the Philharmonia Orchestra has produced a number of powerful, live concert recordings, covering works by Schoenberg, Berlioz and Mahler (Symphony No. 9). The series was completed in 2011 with this live performance of Mahler's Sixth, recorded at the Royal Festival Hall in London in May 2009.
