Michael Gielen/ Swr Sinfonie - In memoriam: Michael Gielen - Gustav Mahler: Symphony No. 6 (Tragic)

Recorded 42 years apart, these two performances of Mahler�s Sixth Symphony are highly contrasted in terms of tempo, sense of structure and interpretation. It is certainly appropriate to commemorate Michael Gielen with these two recordings of the work he performed most often � recordings that represent the opposite poles of Gielens Mahler interpretations. For the first time ever on disc, this edition includes the 1971 recording of Mahler�s Symphony No. 6 in its original sound quality.
