Symphony no. 1 in D 'The Titan'

Album by Gustav Mahler & Amsterdams Philharmonisch Orkest & Árpád Joó

Symphony No. 1 in D major, nicknamed 'The Titan', is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1888. The work combines late-Romantic orchestration, pastoral and folk-derived motifs and stark dramatic contrasts, employing expansive structures and vivid orchestral colouring that signalled Mahler's move towards the large-scale, programmatic symphonies that would define his subsequent career.
First released: 18th June 1996
