About

Mahler’s Sixth Symphony is a work full of extremes, as the penultimate release, Ohems presents a live recording from the Cologne Philharmonic under the baton of Markus Stenz.

Reviews

October 2014

Everything we've come to expect from previous instalments reaches its apotheosis with these works. They may have been recorded in a studio...but there's still the same vividness and tendency to let each instrumental department shine. Most of Stenz's tempo changes feel perfectly right.

August 2014

Stenz is more objective in Mahler than some, more seduced by the letter of these scores than by their psychological projections.

2nd June 2014

This is a compelling reading of Mahler’s Sixth and one of the high points of Stenz’s cycle. The playing is superb throughout and the engineers have done a fine job, producing sound of great clarity, depth and range.

15th May 2014

This superbly recorded account, taken from live performances in the Cologne‑Philharmonic Hall last November, has unanimity and a total sense of security...And however much he tightens the dramatic screw, especially in the closing pages of the finale, his performance never topples over into hysteria.
