Going Against Fate follows David Zinman and the Tonhalle-Orchestra of Zurich during rehearsals, concerts and recordings of Mahler's 6th Symphony. Zinman's narration of Mahlers' private life gives us insight into the emotional and musical world of the eminent composer. We also witness how conductor and orchestra interact on their journey towards the finished recording, as they unravel the secret of a musical masterpiece; the symphony. Mahler's music expresses his longing to explore the most remote areas of the human soul. The problematic existence of mankind was on his mind for his entire life and an ever inspiring source of his creativity. The 6th Symphony is his most autobiographical work.
