Mahler's Sixth Symphony

Thomas Sondergard conducts the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales in Mahler's epic Sixth Symphony, alongside the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Chorus of Wales who perform four Bruckner Motets

Another chance to hear the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Orchestra of Wales perform Mahler's Sixth Symphony, in a concert recorded on the 20th of January 2017 in St David's Hall, Cardiff.

In the calm before the Mahlerian storm, the ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ National Chorus of Wales, conducted by Adrian Partington, perform Bruckner's serene yet intense motets - allow yourself to be swept away by the beautiful harmonies and uplifting clarity of combined voices. In contrast Mahler's sixth symphony swings from tragedy to elation - a truly epic work full of angst and drama that strikes the soul like a hammer (quite literally).
