Sometimes known as 'The Tragic' - a title suggested but then withdrawn by the composer - Mahler's Symphony No 6 embodies much of the inner turmoil and superstition of its composer. Conceived at perhaps one of the happiest periods of Mahler's life, it seems to foreshadow the personal tragedies that would later befall him - with his wife Alma writing that 'the music and what it foretold touched us deeply'.
