Mahler, Gustav - Symphony No. 6 - Haitink, Bernard (conductor)

The sixth was the last of Mahler's symphonies to reach the United States, in December 1947, more than forty-one years after the composer conducted its premiere. Even considering the typical fate of Mahler'symphonies-launched under the composer 's baton, misunderstood and often rejected by audiences and critics, and ignored by major orchestras and conductors during the decades that followed-the neglect of the sixth Symphony is exceptional.
