Mahler - 2-disc set ① Symphony No. 6 in A minor, "Tragic" ② Songs on the Death of Children Conductor: Leonard Bernstein Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra Thomas Hampson (Baritone) Recorded: September & October 1988, Live (Digital) Completed in 1904, the Sixth Symphony uses a large orchestra with meticulous orchestration. It follows a classical four-movement structure, but its content is greatly expanded, reflecting Mahler's vigorous creative power at the time. Simultaneously, it incorporates a highly dramatic character within a tight structure, representing a peak in Mahler's creation in terms of the fusion of purely instrumental style and tragedy not directly linked to lyrics or titles. This Bernstein recording is renowned as a definitive version. It was also selected as No. 1 in the 2017 publication "500 Masterpieces." From the beginning of the first movement, one can feel the energetic intensity, rarely seen in recent years, that seems to press in on you. Tempo changes and dynamic variations, such as "fast → slow" and "slow → fast," are freely executed, making it unlikely to become tiresome. Although the fourth movement has a slightly heavier tempo, perhaps due to this, the sound of the Vienna Philharmonic, including the brass instruments, creates a sense of weight and overwhelming sound pressure. In addition, the hammer falls. This impactful "Tragic" can be said to be a performance that only Bernstein can express. Songs on the Death of Children is related to Symphony No. 6, "Tragic," and this combination is ideal. It is sung by a mezzo-soprano or baritone singer, accompanied by the orchestra. Hampson, carried by Bernstein, delivers a fulfilling vocal performance. The wide dynamic range of this recording is superb, and although slightly strong, the spread of sound and the balance between the singer and the orchestra are also very good. The tempo fluctuations and bold yet delicate performance, as if listening to a symphony, may make you feel on edge, but you can enjoy it from beginning to end.
