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.

Last season, Gergiev brought his Mariinsky Orchestra and Chorus to Carnegie Hall, leaving concertgoers and critics feeling the tragic pain of Berlioz’s Romeo and Juliet. For this concert, he leads the Mariinsky in a powerful ode to the indelible human spirit, perhaps the most beloved of Mahler’s symphonies.
