Symphony no. 1 “Titan”

Album by Gustav Mahler & Michiyoshi Inoue & New Japan Philharmonic

Symphony No. 1 'Titan' is the first symphony by Austrian composer Gustav Mahler, composed in 1888. The work combines late-Romantic orchestration, folk-influenced motifs and programme-like narrative elements, and it represents an early assertion of Mahler's expansive symphonic approach that foreshadows his later large-scale works.
First released: 22nd November 2000
