Symphony No. 6 交响曲

.......在第一乐章无情的能量中蕴含着一种凄凉的不安，而在荒凉的慢板开始时，这种不安变得更加令人不安。这让人联想到葬礼进行曲的凄凉气氛，讽刺的是，葬礼进行曲的节奏突然加快，但又突然减慢；鼓点变得气势汹汹，乐章开头的绝望情绪又回来了。......音乐的悲观情绪紧紧抓住了听众。. .

原文简介:
". . .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
