Gergiev and his Mariinsky Orchestra play with a “wonderful wildness” (The New Yorker) that’s perfect for the twists and turns of Mahler’s mercurial Sixth. From the imperious march music that opens the symphony, to the moments of pastoral repose (complete with cowbells) and sentimental passages overflowing with joy, this orchestra makes the most of the tumult Mahler created.

It’s a uniquely Russian program with an orchestra that “sounds like no other” (The New York Times). It includes Rimsky-Korsakov and his colorful musical recounting of Arabian Nights—a work that set the standard for Russian music for a hundred years after it was composed—and Rachmaninoff’s second piano concerto.
