Lol... Because large chunks of it remind me of 'effects music' you'd hear in horror movies, just before something terrible happens!
Enjoy the Mahler

Effects from horror movies.
Close enough!
RVW's 7th symphony (Sinfonia Antartica) was written initially as a soundtrack to the 1948 film 'Scott of the Antarctic' and was later transformed into the symphony.
So it is indeed dark and tragic at times film music! ... They all died.
But you probably knew that.

Contemporary classical music - played by an ensemble of flutes! Not very appealing at all, in principle, but this turned out to be very enjoyable!
