Symphony No. 6 交響曲

.......在第一樂章無情的能量中蘊含著一種淒涼的不安，而在荒涼的慢板開始時，這種不安變得更加令人不安。這讓人聯想到葬禮進行曲的淒涼氣氛，諷刺的是，葬禮進行曲的節奏突然加快，但又突然減慢；鼓點變得氣勢洶洶，樂章開頭的絕望情緒又回來了。......音樂的悲觀情緒緊緊抓住了聽眾。. .

原文簡介:
". . .a bleak unease in the unrelenting energy of the first movement, which becomes even more discomfiting in the desolate start to the Lento. This leads to a forlorn suggestion of a funeral march, which then ironically quickens in pace but is suddenly cut down; the drum strokes become menacingly powerful and the despairing mood of the movement's opening returns. . . and grips the listener in the music's pessimism. . ." Ivan March, Gramophone, December 1995
