BBC National Orchestra of Wales
3/5. Presented by Martin Handley. Mahler's
Sixth Symphony, of 1903-4, was conducted by the composer at least once with the subtitle Tragic. Although biographical reasons for its darkness have been sought, none has been firmly established - in fact the period was one of the happiest of Mahler's life.
Webem Variations for orchestra, Op 30 Conductor James Clark
Mahler Symphony No 6
