Benjamin Zander's three previous Telarc recordings of Mahler symphonies (the Ninth, the Fifth, and the Fourth, successively) with the Philharmonia Orchestra have inspired music critics around the world to use descriptions such as "searing," "definitive," and "uniquely illuminating." Now he brings his signature combination of passion and impeccable musicianship to Mahler's haunting Symphony No. 6 in A minor, the "Tragic." London's The Guardian called the concert performance, which took place in April 2001 at Royal Festival Hall in London, "as alert to the vivid detail of Mahler's orchestration as it was to the grand sweep of the symphony's structure." The review said the opening movement "glittered with strange colours and burned with diabolical drama," and finally proclaimed that "[Zander] made the extremes of the finale's expressive world...lead inevitably to the devastating emptiness of the symphony's final chord." The three-CD set includes a bonus discussion disc intended for the lay listener, in which Zander takes the listener through the score movement by movement revealing the meaning of the piece.
