Mahler Cycle IV
The Athens State Orchestra’s ambitious plan to perform all of Gustav Mahler’s symphonies under the baton of Stefanos Tsialis kicked off last year and continues this season with the Sixth Symphony. No, the Sixth is not just another symphony by the Austrian composer; the breadth of its meanings, its free-flowing narrativity, immersive expressive power, conflicting sensitivity and hardness are just some of the elements that make Mahler's Sixth an irresistible journey along the innermost paths of the human soul.
