Symphony no. 1

Album by Gustav Mahler & DR SymfoniOrkestret & Leif Segerstam

Symphony No. 1 is the first symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1888. The work employs late-Romantic orchestration with wide dynamic contrast, programme-derived motifs and thematic transformation, and represents Mahler's early exploration of expansive symphonic form that laid the groundwork for his later symphonies.
First released: January 1995
