This landmark performance was recorded at the Berlin Philharmonie as part of Rattle’s farewell concerts after 16 years as chief conductor of the Berlin Philharmonic. Mahler’s vast and emotionally overwhelming Sixth Symphony, known as the Tragic, provides a powerful culmination to Rattle’s celebrated partnership with the orchestra. Enjoy the sweeping melodies, fierce marches and the famous hammer blows of the devastating finale. The musical intensity is heightened by the historic occasion.
