Symphony no. 1 "Titan" / Totenfeier
Album by Gustav Mahler & Chicago Symphony Orchestra & Pierre Boulez
Symphony No. 1 "Titan" is a symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, completed in 1888. The work employs late-Romantic orchestration, expansive forms and folk-influenced melodies alongside dramatic contrasts, and represents Mahler's emergence as a symphonic voice who expanded orchestral colour and large-scale structure in late 19th-century music.
