Mahler, Symphony No. 6 "Tragic" from Gergiev


Mahler, Symphony No. 6 "Tragic", LSO/Gergiev, LSO Live

Maher's Symphony No.6 from Gergiev and his LSO in this video seems to start very urgently.
Even though I much admire Prokofiev Symphonies from Gergiev and LSO, I doubt his style to wildly urge strings (even from the begining to the end) with unrefined and furious brass (yes, it can be said to be typical Russian Style or Russian School) well suits to the work's intense sadness.

Nonetheless, I am curious about what Gergiev's fine ability to bring out the theatrical things deliver to me. I am willing to buy this work even though I will be disappointed.
