  • Gramophone Magazine’s Editor's Choice
    'It is difficult to resist Valery Gergiev in full flow. He summons such reserves of power and commitment from the LSO that one cannot help but be swept along.'

    Audiophile Audition’s Best of the Year Discs 2008
    'The Finale is Gergiev's masterpiece ... All concerned play their hearts out. The hi-res sound engineering is superb.'

    Fono Forum’s Disc of the Month
    ‘A thrilling Ghost Train Ride in three dimensional sound splendour.’

    'This is a reading of great intensity, creating a most powerful impact ... a stunning performance of considerable musical belief in the demonstrable fact that Mahler's Sixth is a great and original masterpiece.'
    International Record Review

    'It shows how Mahler's neurosis and Gergiev's volatility are ideally matched: this is no plain-sailing exercise in orchestral virtuosity, but a deeply wrought journey of the soul ... The performance as a whole achieves an impressive balance between structure and detail.'
    The Daily Telegraph

Valery Gergiev, London Symphony Orchestra

Does Mahler’s Sixth Symphony foretell the tragedy of his later life, or does it have a more cerebral purpose? Whatever the composer’s motives for writing it, tragic it certainly is: driven, bitter and sweet by turns, and ending in devastation – utterly compelling.
