Mahler – Symphony No. 6

Year of release: 2005

“Fischer does a good job with this long and intensely personal work that seems to vacillate between hope and despair. Sometimes dubbed The Tragic, the symphony contains typical elements of Mahlerian nostalgia, such as the use of cowbells. While Fischer is sympathetic to such nostalgia, he never allows his reading to become sentimental.” – The New York Times
