Jindong Cai conducts the Stanford Symphony Orchestra.

The symphony is far from the most popular of Mahler’s works. Statistics compiled by League of American Orchestras show that over the seven seasons in the U.S. and Canada ending with 2008–2009, the symphony was programmed considerably less often than Symphonies Nos. 1, 2, 4, and 5. However, both Alban Berg and Anton Webern praised it when they first heard it: for Berg it was “the only sixth, despite the Pastoral”; while Webern actually conducted it on more than one occasion.
